In 2011, Brunata Wärmemesser GmbH & Co KG decided to build a new counter measuring application on the Android platform due to its flexibility, customizability, hardware availability, and growing acceptance. In July 2012, the new counter measuring application was put into production. It has been successfully used by 1,000 mobile devices in the field to synchronize 200,000 to 500,000 records per day with no data loss after two years.
