AMI is great when it works correctly.

If it doesn’t, then expect significant operational and public relations challenges.

Do what leading-edge utilities are doing and make the SPMR™ (SmartPhone Meter Reading™) System a part of your AMI Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP). You’ll be glad you did.

For a fraction of the cost of other systems, you can have SPMR available 24/7.  Pay a nominal “Ready Fee” that’s less than a departmental luncheon and enjoy the peace of mind it brings.  Then use it only when needed.

Whether your AMI problems require you to manually read 100 or 100,000 meters, The SPMR DRP Program has you covered. Use SPMR to read the occasional non-reporting AMI meter.  Or use it to read them all if you experience something more serious.

SPMR is billing system independent – its industry standard interface is supported by virtually every major Utility Billing System (UBS) provider.  So, meter info will flow seamlessly into SPMR, and reading data will flow back to your billing system without fail.

SPMR is AMI system independent – SPMR can work with – or without – the support of your AMI provider.   So, SPMR can receive “no reads” from your AMI System, or it can receive them from your UBS.
