The Human Side of AMR Projects Is Often Overlooked
During project planning, utilities typically spend significant time evaluating technology. Questions about communication coverage, battery life, platform functions, and data collection capabilities are common. These are important considerations. But once the system is live, a different set of que...Read more -
The Human Factor Behind Successful AMR Projects
In the utility industry, discussions about AMR projects often focus on technical specifications. Communication technologies, device compatibility, reporting capabilities, battery performance, and software features are all important considerations during project planning. Yet many utilities discov...Read more -
More Alerts, Better Results?
In AMR systems, alerts are designed to improve visibility. But more alerts do not always improve operations. As meter networks grow, utilities may receive notifications related to: • Leakage events • Low battery status • Communication interruptions • Abnormal consumption • Missing readings The ch...Read more -
Is Full Replacement Still a Wise Choice?
In many AMR and AMI projects, the default approach is still: Replace everything. Deploy fast. Scale immediately. But in practice, this often leads to the highest level of risk. Full replacement strategies typically result in: • High CAPEX • High operational risk • System-wide disruption • ...Read more -
How Can We Secure Smooth Retrofit Implementation?
How to ensure successful retrofit deployment Understanding the challenges is only part of the process. Ensuring a successful deployment requires a different level of planning. In real-world AMR projects, successful retrofit implementations often share a few common principles: • Pilot phase • Stan...Read more -
Retrofit or Replacement: Which Suits You?
In many AMR and AMI projects, the initial plan often starts with full meter replacement. But in real deployments, a different approach is gaining momentum:Retrofit. Why? Because it aligns better with real-world constraints. Key advantages: · Lower CAPEX No need to replace the entire installed ba...Read more
