The rollout of modern metering equipment and intelligent metering systems has begun. Switching over to this new infrastructure is a huge task for metering point operators. Rolling out new meters at the required rate is just one part of a larger day-to-day job that includes handling new installations, troubleshooting, spot-checking, and upgrading.
Rollout and operation is growing more complex than ever, posing even greater challenges for technicians on the ground. Operators need a fast and hassle-free way of getting things done, with processes that are easy for in-house staff and outside service providers to follow.
Metering point operations come in all shapes and sizes, but many require the installation of thousands, if not millions, of modern metering devices and intelligent metering systems. From hardware and organizational tasks to logistics and IT systems, holding cost drivers in check is the key to success.

Benefits of automated processes for rollout and operations management
The smart meter rollout is not just a question of “out with the old meter, in with the new”. It is a fully-fledged process of transformation. Metering point operators can reap real rewards by deploying suitable software to get everything planned well in advance. Also beyond the rollout, the software supports metering point operations, e.g. troubleshooting or replacement processes.
- To meet price caps, operators need to plan and automate their processes efficiently.
- The key is to install meters quickly and avoid multiple trips – and that requires careful planning and management.
- Automated operating processes drive costs down.
