— With the rapid growth in use of PNG by domestic customers for cooking purpose, there is a dire need to automate the PNG meter reading. Currently the process of meter reading is as follows: The general pattern of billing is to bill for gas consumption every two months. The first bill is as per the meter reading. It gives actual gas consumption. The second bill is as per “assessed” basis. Thereafter, repetition of actual reading and assessed reading is done alternately for billing purpose. If actual reading is unavailable, for whatsoever reason, the bill is then generated on “estimated” basis. Thus in order to overcome the drawbacks and to minimize human involvement and efforts, automatic bill reading and monitoring system is required. Since the meter data is readily available, the billing cycles are available to the customers instead of the traditional billing cycles. Automatic bill reading and monitoring system also provides improved billing and tracking of usage. This project focuses on automatically collecting consumption data from gas meter and transfer of that data to a central database for the purpose of troubleshooting, billing and analyzing.
