Features & Benefits
Itron provides a wide range of electricity endpoint solutions for use with Itron’s fully integrated portfolio of AMR solutions. The ERT-equipped CENTRON meter transmits consumption and tamper information to Itron radio-equipped handhelds and vehicle-based mobile collectors. When deployed under Itron’s Fixed Network collection technology, those meters can also deliver interval data to support time-of-use (TOU) rates, on-demand reads, and positive outage and restoration notification.
When you deploy Itron electricity endpoints as part of an Itron AMR system, you can:
Increase operational efficiencies by reading more meters in a shorter amount of time.
Reduce operational costs by eliminating time spent on hard-to-access meters.
Improve customer satisfaction by eliminating intrusive meter readings and maintaining more accurate and reliable meter data for billing and dispute resolution.
Improve employee and customer safety.
Improve the quality of your billing data by eliminating manual data entry errors, performing off-cycle reads and eliminating estimated readings.
Identify energy theft and revenue loss due to meter tamper.
Provide usage and load profiling data to your customers, rate commissioners and to support energy conservation programs.
Improve your ability to forecast and manage peak load.
Provide customers with accurate energy balancing and settlements transactions.
Improve distribution system planning by utilizing real usage data.
Provide a platform for the collection of advanced interval data.
