Gas Meter Asset Management & Shop Solutions
A Comprehensive Solution Powered by Radian Research WATT-Net™
Streamline Gas Meter Asset Management with WATT-Net™ from Radian Research
Managing gas meter assets—from intake and testing to deployment, field swaps, and retirement—is complex for natural gas utilities. Manual processes lead to errors, compliance risks, lost visibility, and inefficient operations in meter shops and warehouses.
Holland Supply partners with Radian Research to deliver WATT-Net™, a modular, scalable gas meter asset management solution tailored for gas utilities. WATT-Net™ provides full lifecycle tracking, automated gas meter testing, customizable workflows, mobile apps for shop/field teams, and seamless integrations—ensuring accuracy, regulatory compliance (e.g., ANSI standards), and operational efficiency.
Whether for diaphragm, ultrasonic, rotary, or turbine meters—or affiliated AMR/AMI modules, regulators, and volume correctors—WATT-Net™ centralizes control, reduces manual errors, and supports commercial gas meter asset management at scale.
Let’s explore how WATT-Net™ transforms your meter shop and beyond.
What is WATT-Net™ Gas Meter Asset Management?
WATT-Net™ from Radian Research (via Watthour Engineering Software Solutions) is an advanced, configurable software platform for gas meter asset management. It combines powerful test data management, inventory control, process automation, and real-time visibility—designed specifically for gas utilities' unique needs.
Key advantages over traditional systems:
- Full lifecycle coverage: From shipment receipt to warehouse, deployment, field maintenance, and return/retirement
- Modular and scalable: Start basic, expand as needed (supports small shops to large enterprises)
- Gas-specific features: Automated integration with provers, module testing, pairings/divorces for AMR/AMI devices
- Mobile-enabled: Shop Assistant and Field Assistant apps for barcode scanning and untethered operations
Simplified & Automated Gas Meter Testing
Gas meter testing is faster, safer, and more accurate with WATT-Net™'s automated module.
- Seamless integration with gas provers for automated accuracy tests; manual entry for flexibility
- Tracks hydrostatic leak tests, inspection results, and compliance data for easy reporting
- Pairs perfectly with the WECO 7000 Gas Module Test Board: Safe platform for high-volume testing of AMR/AMI gas modules
- Forward/reverse registration, variable speed control, emergency stop
- Identifies issues pre-deployment, preventing field failures
- Automates activation, configuration verification, and deactivation of modules
- Ensures read data accuracy from field to head-end, reducing errors and costly callbacks
