Increasing revenue assurance starts with accurate metering. For electric utilities,
tamper-resistant Itron solid-state meters equipped with automatic meter reading
(AMR) endpoint technology provide more accurate meter reads than older electromechanical
meters.
Meter data is also the platform for powerful distribution system tools that can
help right-size new and existing energy equipment for the most efficient operation.
For water utilities, Itron has an endpoint and collection solution that provides
state-of-the-art tamper and leak detection. AMR technology helps all utilities—including
electric, water and gas–bill customers accurately for the service delivered
while detecting and deterring individuals bent on stealing services.
Utilities can also rely on Itron’s high-quality forecasting systems to enable
them to obtain accurate usage information for the near- and long-term, which in
turn helps them streamline operations and save money. And with our analytical applications,
they can develop more dynamic rate structures that meet customer needs while at
the same time improving their bottom line.
