PNN Soft created a B2B and B2C portal for the data processing system of utility meters

PNN Soft experts have developed a custom software project – a web application for quickly and regularly reading data from heat, water, and electricity meters.  These meters are installed on heating networks, hot water and ventilation facilities in buildings of various sizes, from apartments and houses to a district and even a city.

Project Description

The web application connects to utility meters to track, read, store and process their current readings. The program allows users to store data and create reports, track indicators for an apartment, house or city district. The data obtained by the web application can be used to analyse and optimize the cost consumption of heat, electricity, cold and hot water. The web solution has an interactive map that allows you to view information about data collection and electricity/heat energy consumption for residential complexes and individual houses. Supports registration of condominium associations, housing and communal organizations and individual owners.

The project was implemented for businesses and users. The software has wide functionality that can be divided into roles.

• A resident living in an apartment can log into the account and see the consumption of each utility meter installed in his place of residence.
• The manager who is assigned to the entire house can view the meter’s collected data of all residents of the house.
• An administrator, whose role is played by an organization that includes several buildings: a residential complex, a district, a housing office, and uses a web solution to manage users, control the operation of meters and generate reports.
• A super administrator is the customer or the main manager.

PNN Soft developers have implemented two main modules that form the main functionality of the software:

• A module for collecting meter data.
• A module for generating reports based on meter indicator data (checking the performance of meters, generating reports, etc.).

The year-long project saw the developers adapt the software to a wide array of types, makes, and sellers of diverse meters. The energy portal gathers and processes information from more than 200 device models that collect and send data. The system is compatible with various manufacturers and types of meters.

Meter models with which the software is already configured:

• Multica 603, Multica 602, Multica 302, Multica 401
• Integral V MaXX
• Ultraheat T330
• WMZ-UA
• Metro’s UHM
• Zelsius X
• Ultrameter UM-15
• SensorStar U
• Qalcosonic HEAT1
• CF-UltaMaxx
• Ultraheat T230, Ultraheat T450
• Sharky 775
