Domestic Firms Adopt High-Tech Solutions to Save Time, Money

Iranian officials have been working on replacing conventional water and gas meters with smart counterparts for years, but the program has been delayed due to reliance on foreign suppliers, high costs and import bottlenecks.
A local tech company has developed an Automatic Meter Reading device that curbs the use of human resources in meter reading, prevents delay and saves money for utility companies.
Based in Semnan Province, Kumeshian is a company that designs and manufactures electronic and mechatronic devices, and embeds industrial software, ISNA reported.
Mona Qodsi, the deputy head of the company, noted that the device is installed on conventional energy meters. 
“It can collect consumption data from the regular electricity meters and transfer the data to a central database for billing,” she said.
“The device delivers information in real time and saves human resources spent on reading the meter manually. Long life, high speed and accuracy, plus lower cost of new smart meters are its other benefits.”
