Automatic meter reading (AMR)
Advanced metering management (AMM)
Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI)
It refers to integrated system for remote data collection of consumptions patterns and
events log of multi utility applications ( electricity, water, gas ,heat ) enhancing revenue
collection. Moreover, it enables remote control through bidirectional communication systems.
These data represents the basic step for advanced applications as Outage management ,
Asset management , Load management , Tampering detection ,Demand Forecasting ,
Demand Response …..etc.
Smart Metering …Definition has never been
clearer

Visual reading errors
Long billing cycle
Inaccessible regions
Labor cost for readings collection, disconnection for late payments and
integration of readings with billing system
Uncontrolled tampering loses
Late outage detection ( based on customers claims)
Limited customers awareness and response
Old Metering Systems…No longer adequate

Accurate timely remote collected data
Two way communication with remote control capabilities
Multi-utility integration ( electricity ,water, gas , heat)
Improving revenue collection and enhancing billing cycles
Deployment of Load management
Enhancing Asset management
Enhancing outage management
Enhancing demand response
Minimizing tampering loses

Elsewedy eBilling Software (SeBill ™) for
System Meters
•SeBill ™ is a very effective and flexible meter billing software. It has been developed to
meet the needs of our different customers in various fields such as, residential, industrial
and commercial.
•SeBill ™ is a complementary application to Iskraemeco’s SEP2W .
•The Billing Software for System Meters is primarily used to issue invoices to customers
based on predefined Tariffs and readings done by Iskraemeco’s SEP2W Software
through the collection and processing of data obtained from the metering points for
which invoices, receipts and different reports can be made, additionally processed or
stored.
•SeBill ™ will not only provide accurate figures for your meter readings, but also it can
accurately produce estimates based upon historical usage if need be, thus ensuring that
our customers are billed accurately and fairly
22. 22
SeBill ™ constitutes the following features
1. Define Vendor data (Name, address, Logo, ect..)
2. Define fees fields (Name, Value, percent or
amount) for every customer type
3. View invoice(s) before issuing it
4. Issue Invoices to customers (individually or
collectively)
5. Print Invoices in Arabic and English format
6. The invoice will contain the first reading, the
final reading, fees and the total amount due.
Also, it will contain the balance of the customer
before and after the invoice.
7. Other services can be added to the total amount
of the invoice like Water consumption or Gas
Consumption.
23. 23
8. Exception reports that show if there is any
missing mandatory data that will block invoice
issue.
9. Add Balance amounts to customers
10. Issue Receipts to customers after receiving
payment.
11. Report to show the balance of a chosen
customer
12. Invoice amount will be deducted from balance
after issuing it
13. In case of error with invoice amount,
adjustments can be made
14. A schedule daily report will be generated that
shows the customers with min balance (after
calculating consumption every day)
15.The user can specify the threshold (minimum
balance in amount) and a report will be
generated that view the customers below the
threshold.
SeBill ™ constitutes the following features cont’d…

WHAT IS AN ELECTRICITY METERING & PAYMENT
SYSTEM ?
The diagram below illustrates a typical system. The example illustrates :
- A consumer making a payment at the vending station
- A token being generated by point of sale (POS) and given to the customer
- The customer passes the information concerning this payment on to the meter by
the keypad
