McCrometer Launches Smart Output™ for AMI Compatibility
Hemet, CA—August 22, 2016— McCrometer, a flow meter manufacturer based out of Hemet, CA, USA is launching Smart Output™ for use with their line of electromagnetic insertion and full bore flow meters. Smart Output is compatible with Sensus and Itron systems, which makes these mag meters plug and play into larger AMI and AMR systems. McCrometer has an electromagnetic flow solution for nearly every application – line sizes 4”-138”: hot tappable insertion meters, full bore type, battery/solar or AC/DC powered. And now, their entire line of flow meters is AMI compatible, with Smart Output.
McCrometer’s more than 60 year history of building advanced flow metering solutions has seen AMI develop into a tool that more and more utility managers are adopting to meet the challenges of district metering and reducing non-revenue water. As AMI has become more widespread, it is critical that utility managers are able to connect flow measurement points across their distribution systems with meters that work seamlessly with their chosen AMI system. McCrometer’s Smart Output marries this need with their electromagnetic flow meters, which have been the meter of choice for municipalities around the globe.
Brittany Halterman, Senior Product Manager for McCrometer, says “Smart Output gives utilities the option to install a highly accurate insertion magnetic flow meter in areas they may have not previously been able to, and connect it directly to their AMI system. Additionally, Smart Output helps utilities execute district metering and identify non-revenue water through leak detection.”
Flow metering and AMI system infrastructure are typically some of the largest investments for which a utility manager budgets, so they want to receive the maximum value and ROI to help them make their most important decisions. McCrometer flow meters with Smart Output AMI compatibility will give utilities the ability to manage flow in their distribution systems in a whole new way.
