AMR, AMI AND METERING RESOURCES
-
Lessons learned from building one of the largest smart meter networks in Europe.
-
The water utility industry is transitioning to wireless smart meters, creating opportunities for small to medium-sized utilities. Cloud-based applications offer automation, data management, and remote access, providing billing solutions, water usage monitoring, and safety tools.
-
How are water utilities getting the deluge of real and apparent water losses under control? The City of Elmhurst, a stately suburb west of Chicago with a population of about 46,000 residents, is a case study on how one municipality took on the issue.
-
Although advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) technology has been around for some time, it is still on the upswing in terms of adoption and performance.
-
Public confidence can be hard to win back, emphasizing the need for secure systems as utilities grow more reliant on digital technologies.
-
There are many reasons why an AMI system might fail, but more often than not it boils down to gaps in the physical-to-digital transition.
-
Water Online recently spoke with Dave Wallenstein, P.E., a licensed mechanical and civil engineer with East Bay MUD, about how they are using AMI to conserve water.
-
Limited visibility into distribution networks can cause issues like undetected leaks and billing inaccuracies. AMI and analytics can provide continuous monitoring for improved anomaly detection and prioritized actions.
-
Water utility systems that have transitioned to AMI benefit from increased revenue, reduced risk, improved customer relations, and widespread efficiencies across operations.
-
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.
