Advanced Metering Analytics Improves Accuracy, Customer Service for Highland Village, TX

摘要

After deployment of an AMI system that didn't work properly, initially forcing the city to manually read meters, Highland Village, Texas, was in need of a solution it could count on. The city chose Badger Meter and the BEACON® AMA managed solution, with ORION® Cellular endpoints. "Badger Meter came highly recommended by our trusted distributor, Atlas Utility Supply, and after learning about BEACON AMA, we knew this was the right option for us," said Director of Public Works Scott Kriston. Since Highland Village's water metering system was new, and only the end-points were failing, the new endpoints needed to be field spliced to the existing encoders by a contractor. Installation began in August 2014 and was completed by late November. "Considering the intricacies of the installation, it really went well and we were pleased with the responsiveness of everyone," said Kriston.
