Automatic Meter Reading

Utilities & energy companies, including electricity, gas and water suppliers, can use remote real-time meter reading to increase operational efficiency and to reduce overhead costs associated with deploying a large workforce in the field. cStar's products support Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) - an application that utilities companies together with regulators can use not only to reduce expenses, but to develop new pricing strategies based on patterns of energy consumption. Besides utility meters, cStar's wireless communication products are compatible with industrial flow meters, allowing companies to monitor and control meters remotely.
