India is advancing towards the path of the digital smart
country. Now most of the population in India are the smart
users, they use online methods of shopping, billing and
payments. But still there are people who do not know how to
access internet, how to open a website and make payments
online. So, there is a need of the design which is applicable to
each and every category of people in India even to those who
are not the smart users. This paper deals with the advance
concept of e-metering (electronic-metering) which has gone
through rapidly as a solution for the above problem and also it
is reliable and efficient Automatic Meter Reading (AMR)
system. So, this paper presents the design of an AMR system
which comprises of simple and low cost wireless GSM energy
meter and a web interface associated with it for automating
billing and managing the collected data globally. The
proposed system replaces the conventional method of meter
reading and enables server providers to access the energy
meters remotely.
