Control metering of electricity meters often involves practical obstacles such as difficult identification of metering points, inadequate documentation and manual administration. This leads to errors, delays and increased costs – especially with larger volumes or dispersed plants.
The 5 most common problems when checking electricity meters:
Incorrect or incomplete documentation:
Difficult to find the right measuring point in the field:
Limited access to on-site historical information:
Manual and uncertain reporting:
No automatic follow-up or on-site analysis:
How isMobile and Coordinator solve it
Via the mobile app, @Work, technicians get access to a digital work order that is adapted for control measurement. All the necessary information – such as meter ID, customer details and past meter data – is automatically displayed in the app. Thanks to support for GPS and map view, the technician quickly finds the right measuring point even in areas that are difficult to navigate. The technician can directly take pictures of meters in the field and with AI-based image analysis, relevant information is picked from the image. This can be information such as the facility number, meter number, meter reading, correct sealing and any deviations. It can then be compared with information in the work order to ensure that you are in the right place.
The mobile app can be connected to measurement bridges via Bluetooth and retrieve information linked to the measurements made in the measurement bridge. Calculations and analysis of information are performed directly in the mobile app, which reduces the risk of errors and makes it possible to directly handle any deviations.
To ensure quality at each control measurement, the work order can include customised checklists, mandatory fields, and digital signatures. The information is reported directly in real-time – without paper or manual post-registration – minimizing the risk of errors and ensuring that all measurement checks are completed with a complete verification protocol.
Through Coordinator Insight, the business can then visualise and analyse the collected data over time. It provides the opportunity to identify meters with recurring faults, areas with a high failure rate, or follow up on subcontractors' performed checks.
Finally, the system's open APIs make it easy to integrate with other systems such as meter registers, customer databases or maintenance planning – so that all actors work in a common process with the same information.
With Coordinator, accredited electricity network companies and service companies get a powerful and flexible tool to streamline, quality assure and follow up the entire control measurement process – from planning to finished report.
