READy is an effective and high-performing system for remote reading that can be used to collect data from smart meters and devices. With READy, you can say goodbye to manual readings, reporting via the internet, and estimated calculations. Now you can read your meter data without disturbing the consumers. You get fast and easy access to the consumption data needed to facilitate fair and accurate billing, as well as data that can be used to reduce Non-Revenue-Water, optimise operations, and improve customer services.

Supporting both wired and wireless M-Bus, READy can be used for remote reading of water meters. The system can be fitted to meet your needs in terms of data collection and frequency.  Depending on your situation, the remote reading of your meters can take place in several ways.

You can read your meters on the go with READy mobile reading, called ‘driveby’, driving around in your district. You can also combine your mobile reading solution with small-scale data collection units placed at strategic locations in your area to enrich your regular readings. If you need daily or hourly values, you can establish a fixed network partly or fully covering your district with several data-collection units. Finally, you can also read your wired meters with READy.

A READy system can easily be adjusted to meet different needs and it can be expanded as your needs change. If you have chosen mobile meter reading, it is easy to upgrade and expand to a network – one area at a time or all areas in one go.

To ensure a high data security, the data communication from each Kamstrup meter is encrypted with an individual AES 128-bit encryption. This means that the consumption data from the meter can only be decrypted by the associated READy Manager and by the mobile units authorised by that READy Manager.

Encryption keys are automatically loaded into READy Manager via a secure connection from My Kamstrup, which ensures that you receive the correct keys. New meters are automatically available in READy Manager. Furthermore, meter data can be stored safely at Kamstrup via our hosting solution. We have ISO 27001 certification within IT security.

A recent pilot project has helped water company Vitens ensure the safety of their field staff when they have to read water meters in locations that are dangerous or difficult to reach. With remotely read smart meters and a drive-by solution, meter reading can be done directly from the car and in a matter of seconds.
