Direct meter reading is different from smart metering, which uses advanced technology to communicate water or electricity consumption data between utilities and customers in real-time or near real-time. Direct meter reading has some advantages, such as simplicity, accuracy, and low cost, but it also has some disadvantages, such as labor intensity, human error, and limited data availability.
AMR/AMI Metering solutions can help improve billing, customer service, system planning, demand response, leak detection, outage management, and conservation efforts. Some of the benefits of AMR/AMI Metering are:
Enhanced customer satisfaction and engagement by providing real-time feedback, usage alerts, smart pricing, and online portals.
Improved system reliability and safety by detecting and resolving issues such as meter tampering, neutral faults, high impedance, and power quality problems.
Mueller uses LoRaWAN technology for its smart water meter interface unit, using Mi.Net®. This allows utilities to collect water meter data remotely and efficiently, which can help them reduce water waste and costs. LoRaWAN also transforms municipalities' operations and service delivery. By using digital intelligence from network-connected sensors and devices, municipalities can improve operational efficiency, provide better services, engage in sustainable practices, and ultimately improve the quality of life for their citizens.
