Why Itron AMR?
Over the last year, the need for automation and remote work capabilities has become abundantly apparent. Many utilities have been forced to implement new policies and procedures for all facets of operation, including meter reading. These changes, consumer trends and desires, and a need to increase conservation and sustainability are putting more pressure than ever on utilities to streamline and improve their meter reading processes.
Itron’s Automated Meter Reading (AMR) allows utilities to drive down operating costs, increase customer satisfaction, and improve employee safety.
