yCloudx / Meter management software
Meter Management.
From readings to action.
Centralise readings, follow usage trends and turn configured thresholds into maintenance work. yCloudx Meter Management connects equipment and utility data with the assets, sites and teams behind it.
For maintenance, engineering and facility operations teams.
Centralised meter records
Every reading.
In the right context.
A number alone tells only part of the story. Keep the meter’s identity, measurement unit, linked asset and location alongside its reading history, so teams know what was measured, where and when.
Identify the meter
Bring the meter name, unit and reading frequency into a consistent record.
Connect the equipment
Keep the asset, system site, location and section visible with the reading.
Retain the evidence
Review previous values, reading dates, users, remarks and supporting attachments.
Scheduled meter readings
A reading routine.
Clear follow-through.
Set reading frequency and responsibility, record values against the meter and review gaps in the history. Pending-reading visibility helps teams follow up work that still needs attention.
- 01
Schedule
Define the reading interval and responsible user.
- 02
Record
Submit the value with remarks and evidence where needed.
- 03
Review
Compare previous readings and investigate missing entries.
- 04
Monitor
Follow trends, pending readings and configured rule status.
Reading history & trends
See the change.
Ask better questions.
Use dated readings and trend views to understand how equipment usage or a utility register changes over time. Filter the period, review recent readings and investigate unexpected increases, decreases or gaps.
Usage over time
Review patterns in operating hours, cycles or other configured units.
Comparable readings
Keep the same meter, unit and period in view when comparing values.
Exceptions worth checking
Follow up unusual values and missed readings before using the record for decisions.
A cumulative register and period consumption are different. Interpret changes using the meter type, reading interval and any reset or replacement history.
Threshold & usage-based maintenance
From a reading.
To the next action.
Configure rules that evaluate a meter reading and create a preventive maintenance work order when the defined condition is met. Set the action, assignment and checklist so the trigger leads into an actionable maintenance process.
- 01 / INPUT
Meter reading
A recorded value becomes the input to an enabled rule.
- 02 / CONDITION
Threshold reached
Evaluate the configured limit, range or change since the previous reading.
- 03 / ACTION
Maintenance work
Create the configured PM work order for the assigned team or user.
Choose the condition
Use supported comparisons, ranges or changes between readings.
Control repeat behaviour
Configure repeat and cooldown settings to suit the maintenance process.
Keep the action accountable
Link the generated work to the appropriate people and checklist.
Usage-based maintenance responds to recorded use; condition-based maintenance responds to defined condition limits. Threshold rules are not, by themselves, predictive maintenance.
Meters connected to assets
Operational data.
Equipment history.
Link meters to their assets and keep site, location and section context visible. Teams can review readings alongside maintenance records when planning service or investigating an equipment issue.
A meter-triggered work order brings a measured condition into the maintenance workflow. The asset provides the shared reference between readings, planned maintenance and the work carried out.
Meter
The reading, unit, interval and history.
Asset
The equipment being monitored and its operational location.
Maintenance
The relevant schedule, triggered work order and recorded follow-up.
Facility & utility monitoring
Different measurements.
A consistent record.
Use meter reading management for equipment and utility measurements relevant to your operation. Agree the meter type, units, reading method and rules during setup rather than treating every value as the same kind of consumption.
Hours & cycles
Track configured runtime, operating-hour or cycle readings to support usage-based service planning.
Operational measures
Discuss fuel, pressure or other equipment readings with the team and confirm the required units and capture method.
yCloudx supports maintenance and facility monitoring; this is not a claim of full BMS control or a dedicated energy-management platform.
Multi-site monitoring & visibility
Local readings.
A broader view.
Organise meters across system sites and asset locations. Review the latest entries, pending readings, reading frequency and triggered work orders to identify where follow-up is needed across your facilities.
Reading coverage
See pending readings and recent entries before investigating individual meters.
Rule visibility
Review active triggers and meter-related work-order activity.
Site context
Use consistent site and location references across buildings and operating areas.
Dashboard figures are sample product records, not performance promises. Reading counts show capture activity, not utility consumption.
Manual capture, imports & integrations
Bring readings in.
Keep the context.
Record readings manually or use the available reading-import workflow. Where devices and interfaces support it, an IoT or API integration can bring readings into the agreed meter workflow.
Automatic capture depends on the device, connection, API availability and integration scope. Confirm data mapping, units, timestamps and update frequency before enabling an automated feed.
Manual entry
Capture a value with remarks and supporting files.
Reading import
Bring prepared readings into the supported import process.
Connected capture
Scope device or API integration for the required data flow. Connectivity is not assumed for every meter.

Meter Management FAQs
What is meter management software?
Meter management software organises meter records, readings, measurement units, dates and history. Within a CMMS, it also connects readings to assets and can use configured rules to initiate maintenance when a usage or condition threshold is reached.
What types of meters can yCloudx manage?
yCloudx supports configured equipment and utility readings with relevant units, such as electricity readings, operating hours, cycles and pressure. Water, fuel and other measurement requirements should be mapped to the required units, capture method and rules during setup.
Can meter readings trigger preventive maintenance?
Yes. Enabled meter rules can evaluate supported limits, ranges or changes and create a PM work order when the configured condition is met. Actions, repeat behaviour, cooldown, assignment and checklist settings should match your maintenance process.
Can yCloudx track meter-reading history?
Yes. Meter records provide dated reading history, previous values and trend views. Teams can search or filter the history and review missing-reading indicators to follow up gaps in scheduled capture.
Can meters be linked to assets?
Yes. Meters can be linked to assets with system-site, location and section context. This gives teams an equipment reference when reviewing readings, maintenance history and meter-triggered work.
Does yCloudx support electricity and water meters?
Electricity and water reading requirements can be organised through configured meter records and appropriate measurement units. Confirm whether the required workflow uses manual entry, imports or a scoped device integration. Automatic connectivity is not assumed.
Can meter readings be captured automatically through IoT?
Automatic capture can be implemented where the device, interface and agreed integration support it. Confirm the available connection or API, data mapping, timestamps and update frequency. Manual reading capture and reading imports are also available.
Can yCloudx manage meters across multiple sites?
Yes. Meters can be organised using system-site and asset-location references, supporting meter records across facilities. Define the site structure, responsibilities and access needed for your organisation during implementation.
Is threshold-based maintenance the same as predictive maintenance?
No. A threshold rule responds when a defined condition is met, such as a reading exceeding a limit. Predictive maintenance involves estimating future condition or failure using relevant data and analysis. A rule-based PM trigger alone is not a prediction.
