Advanced Metering for the Smart Grid
Whether you distribute electric, gas or water services, are a large IOU or smaller municipal, UtilityIQ® Advanced Metering Manager (UIQ AMM) will measure, collect and analyze energy usage and improve communications with customers, suppliers and service providers. UtilityIQ AMM is an application that encompasses both advanced metering and basic network management, automating costly and time-consuming utility processes and managing remote reading of all major types of meters.
Leverage a real-time, Smart Energy network to provide new services to customers, including enhanced billing, operations, demand response, marketing, load forecasting and customer service. Configurable, automated schedules collect meter data for further analysis and action while customers get up-to-date information about consumption and expected billing rates through integration with demand-response and customer-facing applications, empowering them to mange their own energy usage.
Securely accessed through a web-based interface or by web service APIs, UtilityIQ Advanced Metering Manager supports secure remote disconnect/reconnect services and transmission of load and price control signals to endpoint devices. And it enables real-time, on-demand meter reads and “pings,” so customer service can offer support for on-demand billing inquiries, transfer of service, and outage/restoration.
