Advanced Metering Infrastructure

Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) refers to an integrated system of smart meters, communication networks, and data management systems that offers utilities access to nearreal- time, precise water consumption data, paving the way for informed decision-making and boosting operational efficacy. While the U.S. water industry is investing billions of dollars in AMI, some utility executives still have lots of questions. Is it worth the investment? Where will the ROI come from? How can I minimize the risks? Is my organization ready to make this transition?

These questions need to be answered so that municipal systems can effectively deploy AMI solutions to address the growing need to provide a clean, safe product at an affordable rate.

In any evaluation, it is critical to understanding the types of technology available and the scenarios in which each is best applied. Learn this and more about AMI application — including how the benefits of AMI go beyond billing to include leak detection, demand management, improved customer service, and operational efficiency — in this Advanced Metering Infrastructure e-book.
