Manual meter reading
Implemented an information system, only to spend even more manpower feeding it data?
Whether it's electricity meters, water meters, gas meters, pressure gauges, or machine display screens in a factory, various types of meters often coexist in the plant area. Collecting this data requires manual patrols multiple times a day, followed by manual data entry into the system, which is not only prone to omissions and errors but also extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive.
How It Works
The First Step in Digital Transformation
YenProtek's Monitor-Fairy can be widely applied to extract data from various types of meters, whether mechanical, pointer, electronic, or screen-based, without destroying or modifying the original meters. It uses Image Recognition and communication conversion combined with IoT technology to replace manual meter reading. Data is automatically uploaded to the Cloud. You can use the application (APP) and system to monitor both old and new equipment data in the factory in real-time and review historical records. This significantly reduces the labor and errors associated with traditional meter data collection, helping enterprises improve cumbersome and inefficient data collection processes.

A Painless, Incremental Digital Transformation Experience
Replacing existing units with smart meters or smart machines is costly and involves major engineering work, sometimes even requiring busy production lines to be halted for installation, which makes rapid deployment difficult.
Developed by YenProtek, Monitor-Fairy is compatible with all types of meters and equipment and can be quickly and easily retrofitted onto existing units. Digital upgrades can proceed step by step, with no need to replace everything with smart meters or equipment at once, significantly reducing costs.
Integration
Automatic Data Integration, Seamless Connection to Enterprise Systems
Monitor-Fairy supports the ModbusTCP communication protocol, allowing data from all kinds of equipment to be fed directly into existing enterprise systems. Companies can integrate data in real time using their existing platforms or industrial control systems. Whether for production monitoring, equipment management, energy consumption analysis, or environmental monitoring, everything connects seamlessly to enable smart management of production processes.
-
Can it connect to our MES or ERP?
Yes. Monitor-Fairy supports Modbus TCP, so data can be uploaded and integrated with your existing MES, ERP, and other systems.
-
Can it generate inspection reports automatically?
Yes. You can schedule photos at set times or take photos for recognition with the App. Data can be exported to Excel or a specified format, inspection forms in ISO format can be generated automatically, and alerts are issued when values are abnormal.
Once Monitor-Fairy captures the data, it can be automatically uploaded to and integrated with upper-level enterprise systems such as MES and ERP. This connects equipment that was once scattered across your plant like isolated islands, enabling real-time remote monitoring of the entire production process, easing the workload of on-site staff, and saving you time and labor costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which types of meters can it recognize?
It can recognize pointer meters, mechanical meters (roller counters), electronic meters (LCD and seven-segment displays), and screen-based meters (LED or computer screens), regardless of brand or model.
Do I need to remove meters or shut down equipment for installation?
No. Monitor-Fairy reads meter values through image recognition and simply mounts in front of your existing meters or equipment. There's no need to remove meters or modify machines, and no electrical wiring work is required.
How many values can one device read?
A single camera can read multiple sets of values on the same screen at once and automatically split them into separate monitoring items.
Can it connect to our MES or ERP?
Yes. Monitor-Fairy supports Modbus TCP, so data can be uploaded and integrated with your existing MES, ERP, and other systems.
Can it generate inspection reports automatically?
Yes. You can schedule photos at set times or take photos for recognition with the App. Data can be exported to Excel or a specified format, inspection forms in ISO format can be generated automatically, and alerts are issued when values are abnormal.
