Meter operators such as public utility companies are making a future-proof investment in an interoperable meter park with OMS meters.
Meter operators have opened up new perspectives through the use of OMS meters:
- OMS is a future-proof communication standard as it is based on European norms and is supported by the industry
- The meter park is fully compatible and interoperable
- Free selection of suppliers: OMS meters from different manufacturers can easily be combined
- Planning reliability: the investment in the meter park retains its value in the long term
- Direct communication is possible with the specially designed meters: reading out the consumption, control of the meters, localisation of faulty meters or leakages, disconnection of meters etc.
- For the data visualisation (consumption display) as well as the integration of building automation (Smart Home) for the consumer, ISO/IEC 14543-3 = EN 50090 (KNX) was incorporated in the OMS application profile. KNX installations can gain additional value from OMS meters without a great deal of effort as they likewise use S mode for wireless communication in accordance with EN13757-4.
- Metering of different media or a medium with different characteristics such as different qualities of gas (natural gas, biogas)
- Improvement of customer loyalty: monthly billing, transparent consumption, new products and additional benefits possible
- OMS meters enable the introduction of Smart Grids for the reduction of energy consumption, improved integration of renewable energies
OMS meters are an essential part of the energy landscape of the future
