Smart Billing – Are you ready for it

Smart Metering is the next hot topic in the utilities world since the liberalization of the market. The digital electricity, gas, water or heath meter should provide for free and correct data in the utilities market thus lubricating the mechanisms and processes running on it. How can energy and utility companies leverage this new situation. Are their backoffice systems ready and flexible enough to cope with it and will they help them to differentiate their offerings to their customers making the move towards customer segmentation. Smart Billing can be an answer.

Ferranti’s MECOMS for Dynamics AX (MEtering and Contract Management System) offers this required flexibility to support meter-to-cash processes at an industry class cost-to-serve. Learn how our customers use MECOMS in their ever changing environments and get to real results.

"Enhancement of reliability of kWh-meters by testing and production quality control"

Nowadays, many large-scale replacements of mechanical kWh-meters take place. Smart meters require additional functionality, therefore, electronic meters are installed. Moreover, (financial) risks will increase, as replacements will take place at once and not gradually. Therefore, quality control of the meter is extremely important. KEMA carries this out in several stages: initial type testing, conformance to specific requirements (including functionality, accuracy, safety, communication), manufacturing process quality, product delivery, random sampling and testing and field installation validations.
