OverIT Next-Gen FSM Platform 2022 Wave Three – Computer Vision Meter-Reading Assistant

Relying on powerful ML algorithms based on Computer Vision techniques, the new Computer Vision meter-reading assistant feature allows companies to automatically recognize, read, and collect data for water, gas, heating, and electric utilities (both digital and analogic, for those who have not replaced it yet). Capturing the area of interest with the camera, either via mobile device (smartphone and tablet) or hands-free (head-mounted tablet), the system automatically reads and identifies the data, even offline. The technician receives complete information about the reading (not only the value number, but its description too), and about the meter (such as the type of model and the obsolescence of the asset).

In the second stage, data is collected and directly reported both on the mobile and back-end side. Each field of the data forms is automatically filled in and transmitted to the system, allowing operators to efficiently manage readings, avoiding the dispersion of information.
