What many think FME is

It’s just another

conversion tool.

Our software can export data

in many formats!

FME is much more

Background

!  Geographical distribution area ca. 187 km2 !  365 000 customers (metering points)

Background

!  AMR (Automated Meter Reading) -> Hourly energy value from a customer once a day

!  Needs !  Automated runs according to the newest availabe

data !  Visualization with charts and maps !  Smart user interface enabling going deeper from one

report to more a detailed report

FME is the solution!
