QUNDIS Meter Reading Solutions:

Q SMP:

The cloud-based, all-round solution for the recording of consumption data.

A pioneering combination of automated meter reading and secure data processing.

When using our Q AMR remote meter readout system it will be complimented by the QUNDIS Smart Metering Platform. The cloud-based Q SMP makes the required meter data available to the metering service – by email or SFTP – fully automatically in various data formats.

The requirements for the readout of the Q AMR meters of your real estate properties are our gateways Q gateway 5 or Q gateway 5.5 direct, the conclusion of a communication service contract with QUNDIS, and registration for the use of the Q SMP web portal.

Benefits:

  • time and cost savings are created by fast setup and proactive maintenance
  • external operation and external data hosting make a complex in-house IT infrastructure unnecessary
  • use of leading-edge technology – cooperation partner: IBM
  • permanent data availability thanks to modern transmission technology which is not dependent on operating systems
  • problem-free continued use of existing metering devices thanks to the open transmission standard
  • complete organisation of mobile data transmission management
  • consumption information can be made available at any time of the year via tenant portals

Q AMR:

Remote meter reading by QUNDIS:
The automatic system for recording heating and water consumption

BENEFITS

Low personnel costs

No access to apartments is necessary. Loss of time due to problems with making appointments etc. is a thing of the past.

Lower follow-up costs

Metering service providers do not need their own IT infrastructure for recording consumption data. An Internet-capable computer is all it takes, because the data is transmitted by email.

No mobile phone management necessary

QUNDIS implements the SIM card and mobile phone management under the monthly service charge for the gateway.

Simpler, faster, more precise

The readout process is simplified and fast for everyone. At the same time, data metering is more precise because the readout date is always met.

Different building sizes

The Q AMR automatic remote meter reading system can be expanded as required.

Independent of device & manufacturer

Thanks to OMS support, devices from different manufacturers (including electricity & gas) can be integrated into the QUNDIS remote meter reading system.

Transparency for tenants

Tenants can immediately see when and how much they have consumed. This motivates them to save energy.

Q WALK-BY:

The system for Mobile meter reading:

Q walk-by operates without the need to enter flats or offices. The meter reading service receives the data simply, fast and securely in the publicly accessible areas of the building. Where installations are not too extensive the data can even be recorded from outside the building.

Q walk-by uses measuring devices which, at a predefined point of time, send consumption data to a mobile data collector. From there it is transferred to a mobile end device.

Benefits:

  • low life-cycle and service costs
  • simple and fast readout of data
  • time-saving operations
  • no need to arrange an appointment with the tenant
  • no project planning and fitting of data collectors required
  • wireless readout – no need to enter the apartment
  • fast, electronic data transmission
  • metering devices from other manufacturers can be integrated via impulse adapter

Q M-BUS:

The wired M-Bus system that bundles data flows.

Building Central Unit:

The Q M-Bus central unit is used for remote readout, remote control and monitoring of a Q M-Bus system with all consumption meters and controllers in accordance with EN1434-3. The unit values are read out cyclically and stored in an intermediate memory.

The Q M-Bus System is based on the “meter bus”, an industrial standard for the wired networking of devices, sensors and actuators. M-Bus is standardised Europe-wide in accordance with DIN 1434 and EN 13757. As a result the QUNDIS Q M-Bus devices can reliably be networked with one another. The outstanding features of Q M-Bus are a high level of flexibility and secure data transmission. It is especially recommended for use in buildings where the wireless transmission of data is less suitable because of the design of the building.

Benefits:

  • simple and fast readout operations via a data centre
  • fast and precise billing (optional: with remote data transmission)
  • shorter readout intervals in comparison with radio systems
  • high reliability level
  • low life-cycle and service costs
  • wireless readout – no need to enter the flat
  • system extension by activation of the Q AMR wireless system
  • metering devices from other manufacturers can be integrated via impulse adapters
  • prompt supply of consumption information enables energy savings

Impulse Adapter:

Q M-Bus impulse adapter AEW310.2 The Q M-Bus impulse adapters are configured by means of the M-Bus parameter setting software FSERVICE. The setting of parameters and individual readouts can be implemented conveniently by means of a simple user interface.

Level Converter:

The Q M-Bus level converter enables direct access to the meters without intermediate data storage.

Repeater:

The Q M-Bus repeater is used to amplify the signal to bridge long bus wires in M-Bus systems and to increase the number of meters.

Q OPTO:

The electronic system that measure automatically:
Q opto combines simplified, electronic meter reading operations and personal contact with the
tenant. Meter reading in individual rooms and flats is made simple and convenient by the use of intelligent software.
The meter reading service has the possibility of making an on-site comparison between current data and that of the year before. In addition monthly values saved on the device can be accessed.

Benefits:

  • low investment costs
  • regular contact with tenants
  • electronic data readout
  • monthly values saved on almost all measuring devices
  • comparison with previous year’s values possible

Q BASIC:

The system for reliable on-site data recording.

Q basic is the entry level system for recording heat and water consumption. It reliably provides exact values. The system is ideal for operations in buildings which do not require complex data evaluations or especially fast meter reading processes. Q basic covers devices which are read individually and directly within the flat. The measuring results are recorded manually by the reader

Benefits:

  • lowest investment costs
  • regular contact with tenants
  • display of meter reading with check digit in the case of electronic devices
