Digital Transformation Path of Manually Collected Meter Reading Data

Abstract

Abstract The global trend of digital transformation is not reserved for those sectors and businesses that are highly dependent on information technology (IT) solutions, but even for those traditional energy companies that still need to pass the long way to maximize green energy, automation and full trajectory of modernizing energy distribution. In energy distribution system Public Enterprise Electric Utility of Bosnia and Herzegovina (PE EP B&H), only around sixteen percent of meters are part of Advanced Metering Management (AMM) system and their data is ready to be used for different data analysis using business intelligence, while data collection from other meters is still done manually, and those one will probably not be replaced as long as they are operable. Main problem that PE EP B&H experienced in digitalization of meter reading data was to overcome readings that meter readers collected and wrote on paper lists.
