Figure 1 Battery-powered devices are redefining AMR/AMI metering, benefitting water utilities in many ways: by pinpointing leaks and detecting theft of services; reducing maintenance costs; improving billing and payment systems; enabling remote turn-on/shut-off, and more. Achieving cost savings with AMR/AMI metering The newest generation ofRead More

By Sol Jacobs Battery-powered remote wireless sensors are at the heart of modern water infrastructure. Within industrialized nations, wireless monitoring systems are essential to numerous applications, including smart AMR/AMI metering, leak detection solutions, pipeline and tank level monitoring and valve actuation, just to name aRead More

By Sol Jacobs Economics ultimately dictate the decision to upgrade from traditional water meters to a smart metering solution that combines robust meter construction with advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), automated meter reading (AMR) and two-way wireless communications. The newest automated meters are incredibly robust, thusRead More
