Meter reading and billing are complex tasks of electricity, water and gas supplier companies. The current technology of billing process uses manual process of meter reading, updating the server with reading and billing the amount for each customer. In this paper, a scheme is proposed that includes android application and web application. The proposed system will get the meter reading, update the server with reading units and inform consumers about bill units and amount. Android application is used to get the readings from the meter automatically by simply capturing the image of the meter. An OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technique is used to extract meter units from the image. The meter units are sent to the server. At server side, bill amount is calculated.
