Remote electricity meter reading for companies and infrastructure managers

Metbox automatically collects electricity meter and sub-metering data at sites where power consumption has to be managed centrally: industrial areas, commercial buildings, municipal sites, technical infrastructure and energy-efficiency projects. The solution delivers verifiable consumption, power and load data without manual reading, ready to use for billing, reporting, energy management and integrations with company systems.

How it works

From meter to operational intelligence

One secure path from electricity meters and connected assets to the systems your teams already use.

01

Meters & assets

Electricity meters, technical equipment and infrastructure across many brands and protocols.

02

Gateway

Metbox gateways read meters and equipment over Modbus, M-Bus, RS232 and more, sending data securely over 4G/LTE.

03

Platform

Consumption, power, status and deviations arrive validated and structured in one data layer.

04

Your systems

Export CSV/XLSX or connect via REST API to existing billing, accounting and BI systems.

Why Metbox for electricity

One data layer for electricity metering across sites

Automated reading

Automated electricity meter reading

Metbox collects electricity meter and sub-metering data automatically, without regular site visits. Metbox gateways connect to existing meters and technical equipment using the industrial protocols available on site: Modbus, wM-Bus, M-Bus, RS232 and other supported interfaces. This provides not only the total consumption reading, but also the technical parameters needed for load analysis, energy management and accurate sub-metering.

  • No manual visits for routine meter reading
  • Reads equipment & technical parameters, not just totals
  • Modbus, M-Bus, RS232 and other supported protocols

Better visibility

Clear visibility over metering infrastructure

The Metbox platform gives technical teams a single view of electricity consumption, power, load, meter status, communication quality and data availability across all connected sites. It helps identify not only consumption deviations early, but also technical risks such as communication loss, data gaps, unstable load, unusual consumption profiles, meter error statuses or sites that need inspection. This lets the technical manager run the metering infrastructure on actual data: seeing where the system works correctly, where data is incomplete and where a visit or technical intervention is needed.

  • Alerts for consumption and power anomalies
  • "No data" and communication-loss notifications
  • Clear status across distributed connected assets

One data layer

One secure data layer for utility systems

Metbox creates a structured, verifiable data layer between the electricity meters on site and the company's everyday systems. Data is collected from connected devices, processed in the Metbox platform and prepared for further use in dashboards, reports, exports or integrations with existing business systems. This lets the company use the same trusted data for several needs: billing, accounting, energy consumption analysis, reporting and internal site management.

  • Secure transmission from device to platform
  • Role-based access, traceability & GDPR-ready management
  • REST API and CSV/XLSX for existing business systems
