ITF-EDV Fröschl introduced its most innovative software solutions for controlling, optimizing and simplifying meter reading processes for industrial customers as well as for residential customers.

Hofenstetten, Germany - 11th and 12th May 2010 -
ITF-EDV invited to the annual Workshop in Hofenstetten to inform its national and international customers and interested parties about the solutions in the field of Smart Meter. New laws and a change of the market situation make it necessary to „modernize“ and extend the ZFA-F software to meet the new requirements.  

Almost 60 representatives of reputable energy suppliers accepted the invitation. ITF-EDV could persuade them of its successful work in the past months.

The visitors could not only inform themselves about innovations concerning ZFA-F - the approved solution for meter reading but could also get an overview of the developments in the field of Smart Meter.

One of the highligths presented at the ITF-EDV Workshop 2010 was the new communication server SCS which offers an integrated switching center to support all facets of IP communication and the Web Portal which visualizes present consumption data of residential customers.  

Another highlight was the guest lecture of E.ON Netz GmbH about the successful performance certification of ZFA-F in the field of „Reading Smart Meter devices“.  

This event clearly demonstrated that ITF-EDV Fröschl GmbH is the right software partner for a common future in the energy branch.          

The authors of "Smart Metering - Technologische, wirtschaftliche und juristische Aspekte des Smart Metering" deal with this question and related topics. ITF-EDV Fröschl GmbH also contributed to this book in the form of Mr. Paul Knott,  who discusses the "Challenges to meter data management systems".
