A typical scenario:
Auto Meter
 Classification: Public

Step1: Step2: Step3:

Data Collection Data processing and logic building Data Consumption

Option I ：
Manual meter reading
• Manually take pictures
and upload meter images
via mobile terminal/PC,
automatic recognition of
meter readings.
• import existing Excel data
directly • Automatic data processing once the
data is plugged into the template.

• The ability to process data is

Option II ：
Automatic visual meter
reading
• Automatic reading by
adding a visual meter
reading terminal
simultaneously given to the user, who
can build the data processing logic
according to the actual situation.
• Dashboard.
• Data tracing.
• Alarming.
• Multi-Terminal.
 Classification: Public

Step1: Data Collection

Option I ： Manual meter reading ：
• Method 1: first enter the points information to be collected, and then go to each offline location with a handheld terminal
to read the meter and input the meter reading data.
• Method 2: importing Excel for offline meter reading according to the given table format.

Photo taking/importing

Option II ： Automatic visual meter reading ：

• Automatic meter reading using the installation of visual meter reading terminals.
• Providing installation tutorials for self-installation/contacting suppliers for installation.

Step2: Data processing and logic building

• User can directly use the provided Energy Management template ， automatic data processing once the raw data is
plugged into the template.

• The ability to process data is simultaneously given to the users, who can build the data processing logic according to the
actual situation, help users to continuously optimize their applications.

Constructed data processing patterns

Step3: Data Consumption

Dashboard and Data tracing.
• Presentation of statistical results of data analysis via Dashboard, which can be collaborated and shared.
• Data traceability is also available.

Alarming and Multi-Terminal.

Supports multi-terminal use and can receive alarm information via email/multi-terminal.
(Terminal needs to be connected to Merck network).

Q&A
Q: What is the estimated number of users?
A: In a typical application scenario (such as viewing data), 1 core supports 5 concurrent users.

Q: How to solve the problem of different network environments?

A: As long as it can access the Merck intranet, the problem can be solved.

Q: Can you describe the configuration of each instance and the relationship between components
clearly? What are the components in each instance, how are they related, and how do they
exchange data with each other?
A: The solution has been updated as next two slide.

Architecture of Auto Reader as a Service

SSO: Sign In passport

1 manager via Azure AD

AutoReader instance
2 support different types,
such as (1Core, 4GB),
(2Core 8GB), (4Core
16GB), etc.

Admin Portal:

* To Create AutoReader instances

* Usage of the resources consumed by
AutoReader instances
* The maximum resources for the
whole SaaS service
* Configurations for the whole SaaS
