Neptune Technology Group Inc., a pioneer in the development of Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) technology for more than 43 years, is a leading provider of data collection systems which are used to read more than 59 million meters per month. Since 1892 Neptune has continually focused on the evolving needs of utilities – revenue optimization, operational efficiencies, and improved customer service. Neptune continues to broaden its focus beyond automatic meter reading and metering to include service orders and meter asset management and to extend this capability to electric and gas utilities. Neptune provides utility automation software touching over 96 million connected customers throughout North America.
Neptune’s approach provides water utilities with an end-to-end management system that is efficient, durable, and reliable.
All Neptune water meters meet or exceed AWWA standards and ANSI/NSF 61 certifications. Accurate meter readings are guaranteed with Neptune’s absolute encoder technology. This solid foundation leads to a seamless process from manual data collection to handheld, mobile, and fixed network radio frequency systems. Neptune’s systems are designed so that you never outgrow Neptune technology.
Neptune’s ARB® (Automatic Reading and Billing) Utility Management Systems provide leak detection and other advanced features that optimize revenues. Data accuracy, operational efficiency, and enhanced measurement capabilities mean superior customer service for any size utility.
Build an ARB Utility Management System to meet your needs. Start with the E-Coder)R900i, Neptune’s wireless automated meter reading solution. The E-Coder)R900i combines two field-proven technologies to bring you consistently reliable data that can easily be transferred to your customer information and management systems.
- True leak detection (leak status indication rolling 35 days)
- Tamper detection and meter diagnostics
- Measured durations of no-flow and reverse flow activity
The Neptune R900 RF MIU can read up to two encoder registers reducing your total cost of installation. The R900 works with walk-by, mobile, and fixed network data collection equipment – allowing the utility to create a customized meter reading system. Choose the right level of technology for the meter reading application. Walk-by or mobile systems are typically the most economical for billing on a monthly or quarterly basis. For high volume users that require more frequent data collections, deploy Neptune’s EZNet targeted fixed network in parallel with a Neptune mobile data collection system to create a hybrid system.
Tying your entire customized data collection system together is Neptune’s meter reading software. Equinox is an extremely flexible software application that provides significant scalability. It can be operated on a stand-alone PC or in a Client/Server environment where multiple workstations and remote offices can be efficiently networked across the utility’s LAN or WAN architecture.
Neptune’s ARB Utility Management Systems are designed for compatibility so every utility can optimize the value of its initial investment — today and in the future.
