Neptune's Migratable AMR

From water meter to encoder to MIU to collector to host software, Neptune's R900® RF technology provides utilities an automatic meter reading (AMR) system built on field-proven performance and designed to grow with future needs. Utilities with R900 assets in the field can migrate to full fixed network functionality using existing components and infrastructure. Learn more.

Spotlight On AMR And Meters

AMR Solution Reduces Meter Reading Labor By 85%
By Mueller Water Products
The Board of Commissioners set a goal of having water lines on every road in Anson County, NC. With 531 square miles to cover and fewer than 50 people per square mile, the Anson County Water Department was already spending too much time getting regular and accurate meter readings. Eight people and four trucks struggled to keep up. Therefore, the water department needed a solution that could significantly increase operational efficiencies.

If your customer reversed their water meter for weeks would you know about it? How many years might go by, particularly with an indoor meter, before the theft is discovered? Water theft is a serious problem and occurs more often than some utilities are aware.
