Mobile Data Capture for Meter Reading.

Utility workforces need to move fast. But manually entering data is time-consuming and can lead to errors and billing disputes. Mobile data capture is an efficient way to verify meter readings taken by your workforce to reduce mistakes, corruption and non-technical losses.

Manually recording meter values in the field is repetitive and time consuming
Lack of oversight makes technicians susceptible to corruption leading to a loss of revenue through NTLs (non-technical losses)
Lack of budget to invest in improving network infrastructure such as rolling out smart meters

Workforce Meter Reader using a smartphone

Smart coverage for where smart meters can’t go

Anyline can be integrated into a workforce app and rolled out in a matter of hours. Compare this to the huge undertaking of installing smart meters in every home, which makes them an unrealistic solution for many countries.

Improve the efficiency of field technicians

Anyline can identify meters via a barcode or serial number, and read the meter value all on one screen. Making this process instant and accurate, cuts the time needed for each visit allowing routes to be completed faster and planned more efficiently.

Reduce the potential for fraud

Anyline can be used to submit and track hundreds of thousands of meter readings every day. With spoof detection you can see exactly where and when suspicious meter readings are being recorded and pinpoint the technician who made the reading.

Reduce reliance on expensive hardware

Anyline runs on standard smartphones and mobile devices. Utilizing the low-cost mobile devices that your workforce already carries with them every day reduces capital expenditure, as well as training and maintenance costs compared with dedicated devices.
