What is a meter reading machine?

Meter reading machine, that is, data collector, is a handheld device for mobile data acquisition. It can realize the basic functions of data acquisition, storage, transmission and processing. As one of the important tools for the modernization of power marketing management, meter reading machine has been widely used in meter reading, and meter reading has become a classic application of handheld data acquisition terminals.

The traditional meter reading method not only consumes a lot of time and manpower, but also has many defects in meter reading effect, such as poor data validity, complicated settlement, and inability to guarantee accuracy and timeliness. Usually, manual meter reading is monthly, which is feasible for users' measurement, but it can't meet the deeper analysis and management decisions of relevant supply departments. Traditional manual meter reading has been unable to adapt to the new application environment, and the actual needs of the industry have given birth to the continuous development of automatic meter reading system technology and application.

For most electronic instruments, infrared function has become a standard configuration. Even if the instrument without infrared function is to be transformed into an infrared instrument, it is relatively simple, and it can be realized by adding an infrared module. The red appearance has a high penetration rate among urban users, and the equipment transformation is relatively easy to realize and the cost is relatively low.

In order to make meter reading more convenient, handheld terminals with infrared meter reading function also came into being. Based on the characteristics of meter reading in water, electricity and gas industries, Dongda University launched a supporting handheld terminal, which solved the problem comprehensively and greatly improved the efficiency of meter reading.
