WHAT IT DOES

The Blicker AI reads meters like an expert
in the field, but faster and cheaper

Utility companies deal with a significant amount of human errors because of manual meter reading. Meter administration and data management processes are still checked manually, which leads to costly and time-consuming operations. Blicker can be used for:

Reading

  • Meter readings

  • Serial number reading

  • Barcode reading

Detecting

  • Meter category (gas/water/electricity)

  • Display type (analog/digital)

Validating

  • Expected range

  • Expected serial number

  • Number of digits or displays

  • GPS location

  • Date and time of image acquisition

1. Blicker’s ‘brain’ uses artificial intelligence to read meters based on visual patterns

2. Blicker learns from these patterns just like a human would. With one advantage; Blicker has seen millions of examples!

3. Based on these examples Blicker knows how to read meters in all kinds, shapes and conditions.

4. On top of that it recognizes the
cases in which it’s unsure about the result

5. In which case it can ask the user to take another picture.

6. Making sure the final result is always right!

“There is nothing more simple than just taking a picture to gather your data!”

Blicker allows us to get rid of classical forms for meter reading all together, changing them to the simple act of taking a picture
