HiQ is developing a test simulator for remote reading of electricity meters for Senea IT and management consultancy HiQ is developing a test simulator for Senea. The simulator will be used to test equipment for remote reading of electricity meters. HiQ is developing a tool that simulates functions and will be used to test new versions of electricity meters. The tool guarantees higher quality and shorter test processes for the customer. Senea develops and delivers complete systems for metering data collection and network automation. Senea's equipment continuously reports the actual energy consumption to the energy supplier's central system. The advantage of this system is that the customer is invoiced for actual consumption instead of estimated consumption. "Senea is a new and interesting customer in the telematics field. In this assignment we are able to use our experience in simulation and software development. This provides our customer with a better overall solution," says Patrik Boman, Managing Director of HiQ Stockholm. The demand for remote reading of electricity meters is expected to increase significantly as a result of a new government energy policy agreement according to which all of the five million electricity meters in Sweden will be read monthly by 1 July 2009. This essentially makes remote reading of meters a necessity. " The market for Senea's systems is estimated to be worth around SEK 6 billion over the coming six-year period," says Annette Brodin Rampe, CEO of Senea. Simulators and simulation technology are used today in many areas. The technology is used in everything from telecoms and the pharmaceutical industry, to motor vehicles. Businesses can use simulators to perform cost-efficient tests on their products and services before they are launched. This saves both time and money.
