Solutions / AMI — The foundation of revenue protection
Advanced Metering Infrastructure.
Municipalities lose revenue to estimated bills, unread meters, non-payment and illegal connections. AMI ends that — remote reading, prepayment and billing integration, supplied and supported by one South African partner.
- Remote reading. Electricity, water and gas — without estimated bills.
- Revenue protection. Tamper detection, prepayment and automated billing.
- One contract. Supply, install, commission and support from a single South African partner.
Capabilities
Everything between the meter and the bill.
Remote meter reading for electricity, water and gas
Real-time consumption monitoring and cloud-based data management
Advanced prepayment functionality
Seamless integration with existing billing, CIS and SCADA systems
Tamper and anomaly alerts for investigation
Automated billing via Head End System (HES) and Meter Data Management System (MDMS)
How it works
01
Smart meters at the endpoint communicate over RF Mesh, PLC, ZigBee, 6LoWPAN, M-Bus, LTE or Wi-SUN.
02
Data concentrators and the Head End System collect, validate and route readings.
03
MDMS stores interval data, supports billing and feeds loss-detection and transformer-monitoring platforms.
