TDDPL to use smart device for error-free reading of meters

Power discom TPDDL has launched a smart meter reading device to facilitate "accurate and error free" reading of electricity meters and timely distribution of bills.
The device records the reading and data of the meter and updates the same to the system automatically eliminating the scope of human error and wrong reading.
"I am sure, the device will not only ensure error free reading of meters and timely distribution of bills but would also help in reducing the carbon footprints," said Praveer Sinha, CEO and MD of TPDDL.
The device also helps in proper bill distribution as it can capture digital signatures from consumers in the touch pad of mobile and the proof of delivery (POD) can be uploaded in system for future reference, said a TDDPL spokesperson.

In addition, it is an environment-friendly technology which limits the wastage of paper and aids in the reduction of carbon footprints, he added.
