A System for electronic invoicing and payment of electricity bills (CENTRAL Billing System) is used as an effective System for consumption calculation of electricity on the field (on the doorstep of the consumer) and to promptly issue and adequate bill for electricity consumption to consumers, with the possibility of collection invoice by payment cards at the m-portable POS device.
CENTRAL Billing System is a special module of CENTRAL System and allows Billing System on platform of smart phones, providing complete process of billing electricity consumption and issuing invoice by printing it through mobile thermal printer. CENTRAL Billing System has several different tariff systems with module for easy customization and adjustment.
CENTRAL Billing System uses mobile thermal printers for promptly issue bill for electricity consumption to consumers and that can have certified bank card reader which allows collection process (payment) for electricity bills on the field by any bank card.
The System for security control of meters using electronic RFID seals (CENTRAL RFID Seal) is used as highly effective System for protection of meters with Electronic RFID Distribution Seals. Existing seals on electricity meters perform physical protection trough lead or plastic seals. Their main disadvantage is that they can be easily falsified or cloned. There are also techniques that they can be opened and closed without visible damage, which is widely published on YouTube. Once laid it is impossible to check their accuracy without visual contact, due to the inability to approach the meter (e.g. locked cabinets) and often a good will of worker who controls them, so seals’ irregularity can be properly recorded.
CENTRAL RFID Seal is used for physical protection of measuring devices on the field and present the cheapest and safest protection System for meters, cabinets with meters and another energy infrastructure. CENTRAL RFID Seal operate on the principle of passive RFID tags set on a three-tier label, which is non-resistant to any movement and lift-off, since at that time the mentioned passive RFID tag is being destroyed and as such provides a signal to RFID readers that an intervention has been done on measuring device. VSS Electronic RFID Seal is set up by gluing it to box composition with power cables on meter.
To be able to read CENTRAL RFID Seal you must put CENTRAL RFID Reader on smart phone through sound jack port. Reading range of CENTRAL RFID Reader is up to 1 meter, so when reading and controlling meters with CENTRAL APP System can check accuracy of distribution seals on meters to which physically cannot be accessed, e.g. if there are such in locked Meter Distribution Cabinets. Any removal or displacement of box with power cables on meter, breaks the label from CENTRAL RFID Seal and destroys passive RFID tag which during reading with CENTRAL RFID Reader reports whether someone has intervened on meter and that the same must be inspected (calibrated etc.) and protected again.
The System for automated electric meter reading (CENTRAL APP) represents basic model of the overall System and is used for contactless reading of electricity consumption and control of technical accuracy of meters using smart phones.
Number of workers in control and their involvement is reduced to a shorter period.
Percentage of read meters increases up to over 95 %!
System for proper management of database is introduced: type, model, year and manufacturer of meters; keeping accurate record on installation date of seals on meters; keeping proper record of control accuracy and calibration of meters, etc.
Consumption control of meters is carried out on total number of meters for every reading, and not on much smaller sample (up to 20% of the meters – by sending inspector on the field). In that way, data that are delivered to the Billing System for printing bills are very accurate and credible. Therefore, we receive the right image of condition and technical correctness of measuring points on the field.
