A head-end platform collects energy, technical and billing profiles from supported meters over cellular links. Utility staff review reading completeness, manage device groups and pass records into meter-data systems.
Electricity-meter data collection from Apator supports utility reading, accounting and device-management work. 4GRID is the head-end system that acquires profiles and operating events from supported meters. It can run independently or connect with a meter-data-management system, allowing the collected records to feed established billing and reporting processes.
The primary meter workflow uses encrypted DLMS communication over GSM or LTE. New meters are registered automatically and enter the reading process. The system collects 15-minute energy profiles, 10-minute technical profiles including voltage and current, and daily or monthly billing profiles. It also reads event logs and asynchronous alarms such as meter-cover removal. Missing data from temporary transmission problems is collected again when communication permits.
4GRID View is the web application for checking system status, filtering meter groups and examining readings and event histories. Staff send requests for individual devices or groups, including on-demand readings, parameter changes, contactor operation, tariff updates and meter or modem software updates. Reading statistics show collection performance, while scheduled reports support operational follow-up. Meter support, cellular service and downstream accounting arrangements determine how the installation uses these collected records.

It collects 15-minute energy profiles, 10-minute technical profiles, and daily or monthly billing profiles.
The system automatically fills missing data after periodic communication problems when the records become accessible.
Yes. Requests can target individual meters or groups, including readings, parameter configuration, contactor control, tariffs and supported software updates.
No. It can integrate with meter-data-management systems or operate as a standalone head-end solution.
