How does an AMI system work?
AMI is a robust form of water metering technology that allows for the direct transmission of water use data between the point of consumption and the utility. AMI makes it possible for meter data to be read in real time, which provides a higher level of accuracy while simultaneously eliminating the need to manually read water meters.
Because of this instantaneous data transmission, AMI can improve the overall efficiency of your utility operations.
