AI?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid-2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rich justify\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eArgos.APP\u003c\/b\u003e — also called the BK App on the same product page — is the mobile field application of Bittner+Krull Softwaresysteme GmbH, a Munich software house that has been building systems for energy and water utilities since the late nineteen-eighties. \u003cb\u003eMeter AI\u003c\/b\u003e is the artificial intelligence built into that application. It reads a meter from a photograph, extracting the meter number, the current reading, the OBIS code and the utility type — electricity, gas, water or district heating — and checks those values automatically in about one second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe problem it addresses is specific and well documented by the publisher. Meters sit in badly lit cellars, in narrow shafts and in industrial halls; glass covers reflect, lenses are dusty, photographs are taken at an angle. Conventional optical character recognition reaches its limits there and forces technicians to shoot the same device several times. Meter AI was trained for exactly those conditions and is claimed to return correct values even when an image is too bright, too dark, blurred, pixelated or skewed. A second variant, \u003cb\u003eMeter AI plus\u003c\/b\u003e, goes further: it identifies the relevant work order from the photographed meter number and assigns the captured data on its own, removing the manual search and keystrokes. Two processing scenarios are described — recognition tied to an existing order, and free capture with automatic assignment or creation of a standalone order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround that AI sits a complete field application. It works offline through an encrypted cache and resynchronises automatically; it carries flexible forms for measurements, documents, photos, sketches, signatures, barcodes and working times; it offers an order pool from which technicians pick jobs; it embeds maps and GIS data for navigation; and it performs electronic and radio meter reading through more than three hundred device drivers. A lighter variant, the BK Service App, gives external contractors time-limited access to a pool of released jobs through a QR code or a link, without a user account.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe application runs on Android, iOS and Windows, and forms the mobile part of the publisher's wider metering platform. Meter AI itself was developed in cooperation with Springboard GmbH. The one published performance figure comes from Mainova ServiceDienste GmbH in Frankfurt: \u003ci\u003e96% correct readings\u003c\/i\u003e, processed in one

They grant the customer a simple, non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use the software, conditional on full payment, and reserve source code for a separate agreement. Clause 12 expressly leaves the rules on processing on behalf of a controller under Article 28 GDPR untouched, which places Bittner+Krull in the role of processor when the software is consumed as a service. Mutual confidentiality survives the end of the contract. The controller named on the website is Bittner+Krull Softwaresysteme GmbH in Munich, assisted by an external data protection officer at complimant AG.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReuse rights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"justify\" style=\"color:var(--gv3-ink-2);margin:0\"\u003eThe vendor publishes no clause allowing it to reuse a customer's operational data for its own purposes, and none allowing the customer to reuse the software beyond the agreed scope. Copying is permitted only where it is necessary for contractual use, for instance installation or backup; copyright notices may not be removed; decompilation is limited to what the law compels. Group companies and appointed service providers may use the software where the contract requires it, with the customer remaining responsible for them. The privacy notice covers the website rather than the product, and describes only website data: contact forms, technical connection data, self-hosted Matomo analytics with immediate IP anonymisation, a cookie consent tool, a newsletter service and embedded video loaded after consent. Nothing on the site states, in either direction, whether customer data may be used to train the artificial intelligence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"trust-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eData retention \u0026amp; training\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"kv\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"k\"\u003eRetention summary\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"v justify\"\u003eThe privacy notice, which covers the website rather than the product, states that data is kept for as long as it is needed to perform the task or contract in question, taking statutory retention obligations into account — as a rule ten years under German commercial and tax law.

Under the software as a service model the application runs in a private cloud that the publisher says is operated in one of Germany's most modern data centres, monitored around the clock by specialists, with redundant architecture, encrypted transmission and a stated availability of 99.9%. Service levels are agreed individually in each contract. The jurisdiction is therefore German, and the publisher states that it ensures compliance with the EU GDPR and the revised German Federal Data Protection Act together with that provider. Under the alternative on-premise model the system runs on the customer's own infrastructure and hosting is entirely the customer's responsibility; the publisher says customers can move between the two models. The corporate website itself is served from Germany, by a hosting company in Hamburg, and the self-hosted analytics run on that same provider's servers with IP addresses anonymised immediately. No hosting region beyond Germany is named anywhere on the site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"kv\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"k\"\u003eHosting countries\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"v\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"flag-row\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"flag\"\u003e🇩🇩 Germany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"block watch\" id=\"watch\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"head\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"eyebrow\"\u003eWatch-outs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThings to keep in mind\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"lead\"\u003eRisks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting Argos.APP Meter AI.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"brand-list\" style=\"grid-template-columns:repeat(2,1fr);display:grid;gap:12px 24px\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe publisher gives three different founding years: 1988 on its own history page, 1985 on LinkedIn, and 23 August 1995 in the commercial register, which is the date reported here for the legal entity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe same register sheet has carried two earlier company names, so material published under those names describes the same entity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe legal notice already shows a new Munich address while the register still shows the previous one, following a move announced for early September 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe LinkedIn address printed on every page of the site returns a 404; the live company page sits under a different handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 standards quoted on the service page are attributed to the hosting provider, not to the publisher, and no certificate is issued in its own name\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomated reading invites over-trust: a claimed 96% accuracy still leaves incorrect readings that a technician confirming on screen may wave through, with billing consequences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNothing on the site says whether photographs and readings captured by technicians may be used to train the models, and no product-level list of subprocessors is published\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"block\" id=\"setup\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"head\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"eyebrow\"\u003eSetup\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSetup \u0026amp; Integrations\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"setup-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"setup-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:15px;margin-bottom:10px\"\u003eTechnical difficulty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"justify\" style=\"color:var(--gv3-ink-2);margin:0 0 14px\"\u003eSetting this up is a project, not an installation.

It solves one expensive problem in utility field work — reading a meter reliably in a dark cellar, at an awkward angle, behind a reflecting cover — and it does so inside an application that already handles orders, forms, maps and offline work. The single published performance figure, \u003cb\u003e96% correct readings\u003c\/b\u003e at Mainova ServiceDienste, is attributed to a named customer with a named manager quoted, which is more than most vendors offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe commercial side is deliberately closed. No price appears anywhere on the site, there is no trial and no free plan, and the demonstration on offer is an appointment rather than a login. The stores carry only client-specific builds, so an individual cannot install the software to see for themselves. Everything — website, documentation, support — is in German, and the market the publisher claims is the German-speaking one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things deserve attention before drawing conclusions from the vendor's own material. The security standards quoted on the service page belong to the hosting provider, not to Bittner+Krull, and no certificate is issued in the publisher's own name. And the question of whether customer data may be used to train the models is never addressed, in either direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a German-speaking grid or metering operator already engaged in digitising field processes, especially one running SAP, this is a credible and specific option backed by a company that has been in the sector for decades.
