Straight-through accounting of ACEMS (Automated commercial electricity metering system) and prevention of theft will reduce losses in the power grid to the norm.
The Elecface Automated commercial electricity metering system: how does it work?
Data from metering devices to the base station are transmitted via the wireless LPWAN protocol ENB, which was developed by the Elecface team specifically for the transmission of telemetry data.
- The Elecface devices and modems transmit 8-byte data packages over the ENB wireless protocol at a frequency of 868.8 MHz.
- The base station receives and processes signals from The Elecface devices within a radius of up to 10 km.
- Base stations transmit data to a server that performs data processing, monitoring and device management.
- The user receives information in the personal account of the Elecface.Cloud or via the API in your application.
No electricity network congestion
Consumers will not exceed their electricity limit. The dispatcher will be able to limit the consumption of each meter in online mode.
Neighbourhood coverage
A network of several stations covers the entire village/microdistrict without intermediate equipment.
Simple activation
The devices are connected by on the staff specialist in 15 minutes and immediately get in touch without calibration and programming.
Remote shutdown of defaulters
The built-in relay allows you to limit or disable debtors without leaving the team.
- Economical. Without wires, hubs and commissioning costs, the estimate for implementation is 3-4 times lower than that of GPRS / ZigBee / MBus/ PLC. With wireless technology, the cost of implementation will return quickly.
- Without binding to cellular operators: Devices are not required in SIM cards. A fully autonomous telemetry network with the ability to store data on its server is implemented.
Where it is possible to install Elecface AMI Systems
Management companies
Collect readings in the tenement-houses remotely, disconnect defaulters, upload reports to the electrical supply network.
AMI for gardeners’ partnerships
Remote electricity metering, monitor network losses, disconnect defaulters remotely.
Sales companies
Collect meter readings throughout the city, limit the load of debtors without leaving the brigade.
Enterprises
Perform electricity metering remotely, add new plug-and-play devices.
AMI Elecface system: what you will get from the implementation?
You will be able to collect readings from each meter in the village/quarter automatically.
The key feature of the AMI is its wide territorial coverage. The survey of metering devices in the area of the quarter / district / city takes place without intermediate equipment..
Increase the collection of electricity bills by 30%
Receive accurate data on the apartment and general household consumption of resources promptly. Issue accurate invoices and receive full payment for energy supply. It will take less than 5 minutes for the accountant to balance the settlement / quarter.

Reduce the cost of processing readings
Inspectors are not needed. All readings from the meters in real time will be displayed in your personal account. Management and analysis are carried out remotely, in two clicks.
Get rid of electricity theft
The meter notifies the dispatcher about interference in the operation of metering devices. All events are saved in the event log. The dispatcher will be able to control the meters remotely from his personal account: turn off or limit electricity to defaulters without calling an electrician.

Reduce losses to the norm in 3-4%
Record all losses and theft of electricity through end-to-end accounting and instant alerts. Observe the size of the real unbalance for objects in your personal account.
Disable defaulters
Remotely disconnect debtors from your personal account without leaving the brigade. Limit consumption, set limits, and increase the collection of payments.
Connect the subscriber remotely.
Comparison of the Elecface LPWAN with Wired Technologies
Wired systems
- They require commissioning, connection, calibration, or programming.
- Risk of wire breakage
- The search for failure and breakage of the line is extremely difficult by examining the entire line and lack of access
- It is impossible to scale a network and to install devices in different places individually
Elecface LPWAN system
- A full-time electrician installs the meters in 10 minutes
- Instant notifying about magnets, autopsies and other abnormal events
- Residents do not have access to the elements of metering devices
- LPWAN architecture and a single point of failure allow you to quickly find and fix a failure
- The system is designed for large-scale projects, covering several objects or a microdistrict
The principle of operation of the System for remote collection of electricity meter readings
Electricity is one of the most expensive types of resources, and its correct and accurate accounting is an important task for energy suppliers.
Since the number of subscribers in the network is quite large, obtaining reliable readings is an important criterion for accurate consumption calculations. Up to a certain point, the readings of electricity meters were collected exclusively manually. The testimony was either given by the tenants or controlled by the inspectors. This left the possibility for the human factor and caused the need to keep inspectors and handlers on staff.

This left the possibility for the human factor and caused the need to keep inspectors and handlers on staff.
Unlike systems for remote collection of water meter readings, the electric power industry has long been practising the use of automated commercial electricity metering systems — AMI. As a rule, these systems are either technologically complex or have problems with obtaining data. In other words, it is either expensive or unreliable.
Now imagine that it is possible to use a system for collecting readings without wires, without intermediate equipment, without significant installation costs, with remote reading of electric meter readings. You can buy the Elecface system and solve all the problems of electricity control within a flat building, a block, and even a city.
