The UNIMOD system family

One system for the entire meter reading

UNIMOD is the modular system family by VOLAG System AG for meter reading in the energy sector: from reading individual meters in the field to guided route-based reading and the back office, through to the central management of all meter drivers. Each component works on its own – together they form the complete reading process.

Deployment scenarios

Which setup do you need?

The UNIMOD components are modular – not everyone needs everything. Often UNIMOD MDM and one reading channel are enough.

UNIMOD reader standalone

UNIMOD reader reads the meters on site; the reading data arrives in UNIMOD MDM and is retrieved later.

You retrieve the reading data directly from UNIMOD MDM – e.g. via API, export or portal download. UNIMOD collect Server is only needed for guided route-based reading.
