AMR/AMI

AMR/AMI Perspective

Automated Meter Reading (AMR), or Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), allows utilities to gather utility usage data from its customers, both residential and commercial, without manually reading meters. The utility improves services and saves money by minimizing the costs associated with reading individual residential and commercial meters while allowing more time to do other required maintenance activities. In addition, Automated Meter Reading/Advanced Metering Infrastructure improves data accuracy and helps identify anomalies.
