InHand InDTU324 Streamlines Smart Electricity Meter Reading

InHand InDTU324 Streamlines Smart Electricity Meter Reading

1. Scenario Background

A regional electricity network relied on manual meter reading: staff spent days collecting data per cycle, leading to delayed updates, occasional data errors, and high labor costs.

2. Product Selection

InHand InDTU324 — supports RS232 connectivity (to link electricity meters), converts data to TCP/IP, and transmits via cellular networks to the monitoring center.

3. Core Pain Points

1.Time-consuming manual meter reading
2.Delayed/inaccurate energy data
3.No real-time electricity usage monitoring

4. Solutions with InDTU324

Connect InDTU324 to each electricity meter via RS232 to collect usage data.
The DTU converts meter data to TCP/IP, then transmits it to the monitoring center in real time via cellular networks.
The center also sends remote instructions to meters (e.g., data refresh) through the DTU.

5. Implementation Results

Meter reading shifted from multi-day manual cycles to real-time automatic updates.
Data accuracy reached 100% (no human errors).
Labor costs for meter reading reduced by 60%.
