AMI, AMR, and Metering Features

  1. Have AMI? You're Halfway To A Business Case For Smart Infrastructure And IoT 10/20/2023

    Once utilities truly start leveraging that meter-to-cash investment called AMI, they will see they already have an IoT solution in place, and it comes with a built-in business case. 

  2. Finding A More Affordable Migration Path To Net Zero Leakage 8/16/2021

    Whether decision-makers consider it ultimately attainable or not, there is something positive to be said about striving toward ‘net zero leakage’ in water distribution systems saddled with high non-revenue-water (NRW) losses. The key is taking affordable steps — like those described below — toward identifying and mitigating the most egregious water loss locations in a distribution system, based on readily accessible data.

  3. Success Is The Break That Never Happened: How Embedded Acoustic Intelligence In Ultrasonic Meters Prevents Failure 3/20/2026

    Embedded acoustic sensing in ultrasonic meters enables continuous leak monitoring, helping utilities detect problems earlier, reduce water loss, and shift from reactive repairs to proactive infrastructure management.

  4. Water Meter Data Management — To Sink Or SWIM (Part 1) 1/23/2018

    The role of a Meter Data Management System (MDMS) is not well defined within the water industry. Many products on the market claim to provide MDM functionality, but few people understand the value of what these systems offer. To understand how this confusion has come about and what can be done to address data management needs in the water industry, we need to first examine the evolution of the MDM within a System for Water Information Management (SWIM).

  5. Managing Drought And Reducing Water Loss During System Maintenance And Repair 2/17/2023

    Discover how public water systems can avoid both the cost and the terrible optics associated with repairs during drought conditions by using insertion valves. 

  6. Revolutionizing Water Loss Management With Actionable ERP 8/18/2024

    Water utilities aiming to reduce their Non-Revenue Water (NRW) rates must first identify the type of water loss they’re facing—whether apparent or real—before allocating resources, fixing issues, and following up to ensure resolution.

  7. How To Squeeze Money Out Of Your Water Meters 5/30/2018

    There are many types of water meters being used across the U.S. to measure water consumption. And even though the panacea for a water utility would be to equip each residence with the same meter — standardizing metering technique, data capture and maintenance — the reality is that a utility needs to be able to read and service the variety of meters that make up its metering portfolio.

  8. Digital Transformation Drives Customer Satisfaction, Improved Processes 11/3/2022

    Digital payment platforms improve the efficiency of collections and related labor practices, but their greatest benefit may be enhancing utility-customer relations.

  9. The Value Is In The Journey: How Mustang Special Utility District Is Transitioning To Smart Water 4/29/2024

    Discover how Mustang SUD implemented smart water technology, replacing drive-by meters with a cellular AMI system. This switch improved operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.

  10. Determining The Right Solution For Your Next Potable Water Project 3/8/2022

    Insertion valves are a go-to solution for public water systems for planned, routine, or emergency maintenance and repairs. This article discusses which features should be considered when choosing an insertion valve.
