Technical Examples

A method for improving gap coverage in data collection in an automatic meter reading system is disclosed that reduces overall system cost while improving data collection. A transceiver in the system receives data from a plurality of meter modules via encoded reader transmitters (ERTs, or endpoints) and transmits the received data to a central utility database that assigns a unique identification code for each of the meter modules in the system. Data collected via the endpoints is transmitted to the central utility database and correlated with identification codes in the utility database to determine which endpoints did not respond. A data collection error is assigned to the endpoint from which data is not received by the central utility database and a receiver module is then positioned adjacent the endpoint assigned the data collection error to improve data collection.
