Ami Water Meter Systems
Amr or automatic meter reading is essentially a step up from a human being walking over to a water meter reading the numbers and writing them down.
Ami water meter systems. Advanced metering infrastructure ami or smart meters is a two way solution in which a network is created between the meters and the utility s information system. Learn why the the city of fairmont wv implemented ami the flexnet communication network is the powerful long range radio system at the heart of our advanced metering infrastructure solutions for smart cities smart water smart grid smart lighting and smart gas solutions. From small town utilities to large city utilities mueller systems offers two options for advanced metering infrastructure ami systems to meet the needs of water flow measurement. We evolved with ami.
These smart meter reading systems offer one way two way and hybrid data transfer between the water meter and the metering system database through radio or cell phone signals. The city of dothan al recently turned to aclara for an advanced metering infrastructure ami solution to support its 31 000 electric and 35 000 water smart water network innovations. We brought amr to the masses. In this network smart meters not only allow for remote meter reading but also allow high resolution consumption data to be sent to the customer.
Management and billing system. Amr can consist of a number of various methods ranging from a simple drive by meter where the meter reader cruises down the street automatically downloading the meter data to one way communications with the utility. Because of this instantaneous data transmission ami can improve the overall efficiency of your utility operations. Leading in ami networks globally.
Badger meter offers advanced metering infrastructure ami and automated meter reading amr endpoint hardware options as. Our highly trained associates specialize in designing and implementing advanced metering infrastructure ami or fixed network technology. Mi net the mi net system is a communications network that fully automates the meter reading to billing process linking meters distribution sites and control devices in a single highly efficient data network. Built on a century of water metering experience the orion product family has provided comprehensive advanced metering analytics ama for interval meter reading and data capture using two way communication.
Ami advanced metering infrastructure starts with smart meters and adds two way communication. Rather a device automatically pings the meter to get a current reading which is used to generate a bill. Ami from ferguson provides these strategic advantages for municipalities. Ami is a robust form of water metering technology that allows for the direct transmission of water use data between the point of consumption and the utility.
Need to plan a large scale multi application network. We have created proprietary web based software to efficiently process schedule and share ami meter data.
