The Infrastructure Transition Gap
In the high-stakes world of municipal utility maintenance, asset management isn't just a task; it's a financial integrity mission. If you are relying on manual notes or fragmented work orders to document a meter swap, you are risking a billing nightmare. Do you have the final old_meter_reading_kl before the unit was pulled? Can you verify the new_meter_no against the billing_route? Without a rigorous, digital log of every change_meter? and change_rtu? event, you are creating gaps in your consumption data that can take months to reconcile.
This template is a digital технічний record for the replacement technician. It standardizes the high-friction workflow of infrastructure updates, ensuring that every transition from old to new is backed by verified field data.
The Hardware Lifecycle Audit
The strength of this system is its focus on the "before and after" state. It doesn't just record a new install; it captures the exit state of the decommissioned asset. You track the old_meter_number and its final reading, then immediately link it to the new_meter_no and the specific meter_type (e.g., V100-5, MAG8000). This creates an unbroken chain of consumption history. The same logic applies to the telemetry layer, tracking old_rtu_serial and the new_rtu_type (e.g., MRC1, HP1) via barcode scans.
The inclusion of reader_instructions and billing_route data ensures that field crews are always aligned with the administrative office. They aren't just "replacing parts"; they are executing a documented step in a broader revenue-cycle mission.
Visual Proof & Completion
The ultimate value of this system is the multi-photo evidence chain. With five dedicated photo slots, you can document the site condition, the old meter's final dial reading, the new meter's installation, the RTU wiring, and the restored site. Combined with the precise lat_long coordinates and meter_read_time, this creates a legally defensible record of the work. You move from "claiming it was done" to mastering the data-driven science of utility logistics, ensuring that every complete boolean represents a verified, accurate, and profitable transition in your network.
