Syscon brings Comprehensive Solution for

Integrated Management of Precious

Resources, by providing

Advanced Metering and Management

Infrastructure
(AMMI)

Smart Meters

Introducing
Next Generation Utility (Electricity, Water, gas)
meters which will revolutionize the energy
use by putting the consumer in control.

What is a Smart Meter?

It identifies

consumption
(Electricity, Gas,
Water) in more detail
than a conventional
meter;

It communicates that

information via a
network back to the
local utility for
monitoring and billing
purposes

Our meters are smarter than the Smartest

Meter !

We not only

measure and
control remotely
the meter readings
from Electricity,
water and gas, but
also give you Data
and Voice as add on
features

ADVANCED METERING & MANAGEMENT

INFRASTRUCTURE ( AMMI)

AMMI includes hardware, software, communications,

and a metering data management software.

Smart Meter-Worldwide

Here are obvious benefits to consumers

remote meter reading. Security
Environmental benefits- reduced emission of

carbon dioxide and fewer new power plants.

No Load Shedding if managed properly by Utilities
Peak power can be reduced during peak demand.

Smart Meters-Worldwide

Prepaid Meter service- No deposits

Household budget balancing.
Expandable to water and gas metering

Smart Meters
Smart meters are a technological solution that could lead to more

efficient use of electricity. reducing both consumption and peak

demand, carbon dioxide emissions and other environmental impacts
will be reduced.
Smart meters can be used to:

provide better information to householders

add financial incentives to encourage householders to respond to
that information
make it easy and convenient for householders to strengthen that
response.
The delivery of these benefits, however, depends on the necessary

functionality being included in the meters and on more cost-reflective

tariffs being offered.

Smart Meter solution benefits

1)Meter readings
a) Remote scheduled consumption reading.
b) Remote consumption readings on demand.
c) Reading intervals are configurable for every 30 minute intervals or longer
intervals.

2) Demand Controlled readings (Geysers, air conditioners,

swimming pool and sump pumps, etc.)
a) Remote scheduled consumption reading.
b) Remote consumption readings on demand.
c) Reading intervals are configurable for every 30 minute intervals or longer
intervals.

3) Statistical analysis
a) Daily consumption of 30 minute intervals can be mapped against total demand.
b) Total household consumption versus geyser, air conditioner consumption, etc.
c) Consumer peak demand requirements.
d) Electricity requirements of consumers in retirement and active working
consumers per 30 minute intervals.
