Iranian Firm Able to Manufacture 6 Million Single-Phase, Three-Phase Digital Meters Annually
Experts at the knowledge-based Afzar Azma company have been able to design, conduct research and indigenize the technology of making educational devices, electrical and electronic measurement devices, advanced digital meters and smart meters.
Jamshid Bordbar, the managing director and chairman of the board of directors of the company explained that his company has for the first time in Iran succeeded in designing and producing over a dozen types of electronic measuring devices with a quality based on the international standards.
“All stages of research, design, production of circuits, hardware and software and manufacturing of metal, plastic parts and body of devices are carried out by our company and with the help of advanced equipment and automatic systems,” he added.
“Our company has succeeded in producing all types of single-phase meters and three-phase digital meters and we enjoy the capacity to produce 6 million devices of different types of meters per year,” Bordbar underlined.
In a relevant development in July, experts at an Iranian knowledge-based company had also ucceeded in production of remote electricity meters by using the technology of TM-100 (Transparent Modem).
“The TM-100 is a telecommunication modem with 2G/4G communication coverage which is connected to the digital electricity meters in the meter board through the RS485 port and it can be used for reading the electricity meters remotely,” said Arash Qeylav, the managing director of the knowledge-based company stationed at the Science and Technology Park of the University of Tehran.
Noting that by using this device, the agents do not need to be present at the place to read the meter which reduces human errors in reading, he said, “Also controlling the customer’s electricity consumption is possible by using this method.”
“The exchange of modem information with the central management software is carried out in the standard format of the electricity industry and securely, and its adjustment is possible locally and remotely,” Qeylav said.
He described stable connection with electricity meters, removal of antenna blind spots with external antenna and data authentication and encryption as the advantages of the product.
