THE Evolution of the
Metering Industry...
In 1885, Galileo Ferraris initiated the development of the Mechanical
kWh meter after the use of AC transformer for the distribution of
electricity to measure the consumption.
A Century later, Electricity became the main source for energy, and the
demand increased remarkably. So the need for high accuracy meters
grew, which resulted in the development of Electronic meters.

Due to the increasing oil prices, the cost of electricity increased, the need
for a more accurate meter reading systems arose, resulting in the
development of Remote Meter Reading Systems.
In the 90’s when Electricity bills increased, in some countries consumers
failed to pay their Electricity Bills which put utilities in tight financial
positions. The development of One Way Key Pad Electricity Meters
was the solution.

In the mid 90’s as Electricity Demand went sky rocketing,
utilities introduced Multi-Tariffs to encourage consumers to
reduce their consumption to reduce the Peak Load. So the
need for Multi-Tariff Meters with Max. Demand was
inevitable.
In the 2000’s as electricity consumers became aware of
methods of tampering electricity meters, the need for
Electronic Meters with Anti-Tampering features became a
must to reduce Energy Losses.
Now Utilities are looking for Metering Solutions that improve
their efficiency and increase their Profit too. So the
deployment of 2 way communication systems became the
best Solution to reduce Technical Losses as well as
Commercial Losses too.
