FEATURES

PRODUCTIVITY IN A BOX
WATT-Net Central is meter data management software specifically designed to maximize the productivity of your meter shop. With expanding duties and shrinking personel pools, it is critical that any new system simplifies your job, not complicate it. WECO’s exclusive focus on meter testing, combined with extensive utility input, results in software that is efficient, operator friendly, and carefully matched to the task at hand.

To extend the productivity even further, Watthour Engineering can provide custom batch or real time data transfer to other meter, inventory or customer information systems.

ASSET MANAGEMENT
WATT-Net Central is ideal for lifecycle tracking for all of your meter equipment. Meters and transformers enter the system via manufacturer diskette or e-mail. Each time the equipment passes through the shop, full transfer and test data is saved. When retired, the data, operator, and reason are recorded. At any time, the current status, location, and history of the equipment can be displayed.

PROBLEM SOLVER

• Attaching digital “sticky notes” to equipment (rather than paper ones)
• Documenting who issued and received shipped equipment
• Prompting operators with detailed handling instructions for obsolete and sampled tested equipment
• Automatic “read only” security level to allow access by other departments to tests and readings

ITS YOUR SOFTWARE
Once WATT-Net central is placed in production, there are no hidden costs for system expansion or use. Want to add another workstation or testboard? No charge†. A maintenance contract is strictly optional, and there is no charge for bug fixes, for the life of the system. Even the source code is available‡

† Provided no software modifications are required
‡ Requires a Nondisclosure/Non-compete contract
