AMI, AMR, and Metering Features

  1. Climbing Higher For A Better View: Keys To Successful Water Management 2/25/2015

    Many utilities are moving to a traditional business mindset rather than continuing as largely compliance-driven entities. This is challenging leaders to apply asset management and smart infrastructure strategies, to become more programmatic in managing water, and to consider the big picture in addressing public needs.

  2. How To Get Greater Accuracy With Lower Flows In Commercial And Industrial Meters 6/10/2024

    Advanced commercial and industrial (C&I) ultrasonic meters have exceptional turndown ratios, water conditioning, and other features that are lowering operating costs, increasing revenue, and minimizing maintenance.

  3. Geospatial Artificial Intelligence And The New Italian Renaissance 7/15/2021

    Under pressure to radically improve leak detection and prevention, Italian water utility Acquedotto del Fiora is the latest European water company to adopt geospatial artificial intelligence (AI) techniques as part of its plans to boost performance.

  4. Fort Worth Water Achieves Data-Driven Success With Xylem Technology 7/30/2025

    Read about a utility that reduced field investigations by 90%, enhancing operations and customer satisfaction with near real-time data.

  5. AMI Adoption: Challenges And Opportunities For Local Water Providers In California 4/22/2022

    Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is particularly impactful in drought prone areas, incentivizing water conservation and alerting both service providers and consumers to possible leaks in real time. Researchers at UC Berkeley have used FirmoGraphs’ database of meeting minutes and capital improvement plans to analyze recent trends in AMI adoption among California drinking water agencies.

  6. Insta-Valve 20-24 Provides Needed Control For Infrastructure Expansion 8/4/2020

    Hydra-Stop’s solution allowed targeted control to connect a million-gallon water tank to a new water treatment center.

  7. Seal The Deal: Shielding Against A Mag Meter's Achilles Heel 7/1/2019

    When it comes to metering water flow — drinking water or wastewater — full-bore mag meters offer many advantages. While the underlying technology based on Faraday’s Law of electromagnetic induction is shared among all styles of full-bore mag meters, specific implementations have impacts on longevity and accuracy. Here is what to look for when the time to choose arrives.

  8. Water Utility OT vs. IT — It's Not A Battle, It's A Balance 1/14/2020

    The chemistry of optimizing water/wastewater treatment extends far beyond chlorine and oxygen. It also involves synthesizing productive insights from the flood of IT data generated by operational technology (OT) sensors, instruments, and control systems. Here’s how better operational intelligence strategies are helping IT and OT personnel collaborate to make processes more cost-efficient.

  9. BEACON SaaS Managed Solution Transforms City Of Avon's Water System 5/2/2018

    Once a small town not far from Cleveland, the City of Avon is now one of the fastest growing communities in northeast Ohio.

  10. Satellite-Based Infrastructure Intelligence For Advanced Leak Detection Technology 3/5/2026

    Satellite-based radar technology allows water utilities to identify non-surfacing leaks that traditional methods often miss. By pinpointing underground moisture signatures, municipalities can significantly reduce non-revenue water and meet conservation goals through more efficient, data-driven field inspections.
