According to J.D. Powers and Associates, about $4.5 billion in government stimulus funds have been earmarked for development of automated meter reading systems, to be installed in homes and businesses across the U.S.

AMR technology has advanced capabilities for collecting and leveraging information that utilities need to maintain a competitive edge while achieving their objectives. Advanced capabilities like simulation tools, network monitoring, and contingency and predictive analysis offer cost-cutting opportunities and improved meter reading performance.

”AMR systems are designed to lower costs and resolve problems associated with earlier systems,” said EnergyBusinessReports.com Publisher Barbara Drazga. “The end result is a reduced workforce expense and improved integrity of the gathered data. With these problems addressed by AMR technology, utilities can focus on keeping rates competitive and improving customer service.”

The Automated Meter Reading Technologies report examines the emerging AMR industry, explores current trends, and examines how AMR technology is changing the utility landscape and providing cost savings throughout each utility’s core service processes. It also discusses automated meter reading technology venture capitalists, and profiles the suppliers and manufacturers of AMR equipment and technology.
