Note: this company is no longer in business. The web page serves only as a record of a company that I was employed by.

My role was to design hardware, embedded software, and PC software which comprised a nation-wide utility submetering system.
Water, gas, and electricity comsumption were monitored.
Other types of low-bandwidth meters or sensors could have easily been substituted.
At the peak, approximately 15,000 meters were monitored daily.
The system could have easily scaled to any number nodes.

For information regarding the design, production, and deployment of large-scale, low-bandwidth control and sensor networks, contact me (Bryant Hansen) at dmimeter@bryanthansen.net

The Digital Metering Difference
The industry has spoken..........and DMI has listened

DMI has designed a system to allow for ease of installation and increased reliability. As DMI and other submetering companies have found, a submetering system will not work properly if it has not been installed properly.

With this learning experience behind us, we have developed the METR PAK system in such a way that anyone can install the equipment. Even without instructions! It is that simple. Digital Metering has gone the extra mile to design simplicity into this system and judging from our customers, it is paying off.

Our components are so easily integrated within each other that the fully automated systems come standard with the touch read option built in. This feature alone provides you with the added protection that should the server, modem or network wiring get damaged, readings can still be taken. This eliminates any delays in billings and provides you with accurate information, no estimating!

This is just one of the extra measures incorporated into our new line of metering systems. Our new meter modules have been re-engineered to now accommodate up to 6 meters on one module versus the old standard one meter per module. Each of these modules are pre-programmed to your specific property. Using your property's unit numbering, the modules are labeled so that when the server cabinets are delivered to the site, the only task requiring some effort will be matching the interior wiring to the assigned terminals on the modules. Clearly the most user friendly format to date.

Each module's circuit board and components are completely encapsulated in resin to provide 100% protection from the elements. This is and has been one of the leading causes of component failures in other systems. It is our attention to details that has allowed DMI to provide reliable submetering solutions to developers and owners alike.

DMI has just introduced our new single Touch Read format that allows your property to have direct access to your metering system. That's right, in most cases, you do not have any access to your metering system you just paid good money for. With our system, you, as well as your billing service can directly monitor your system.

DMI's modules can easily replace any part of an existing system, even if it was made by someone else! DMI has set a new precedent in this industry by developing a non proprietary, universal platform that will work for you no matter what the circumstances!

 


Digital Metering will match any qualified proposal from another company for a similar metering system.
