Telemetry
Telemetry is the automated transmission of measurement data from a remote source, such as a meter or sensor, to a central system for monitoring or analysis.
Definition
Telemetry refers to the automated collection and transmission of data from remote sources — meters, sensors, equipment — to a central monitoring system, without requiring manual data collection. In energy management, telemetry is what enables interval and real-time monitoring at scale across multiple sites.
Why It Matters
Reliable telemetry infrastructure is what separates modern, automated energy monitoring from manual, error-prone data collection processes.
