What Is a Meter Data Management System?
A Meter Data Management System serves as the central engine for collecting, storing, validating, and processing usage data from advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) or automatic meter reading (AMR) systems. It transforms raw meter readings into actionable intelligence by:
- Importing data from head-end servers and cellular-connected registers
- Validating and cleansing data to ensure data accuracy
- Handling business logic for billing, load forecasting, and anomaly alerts
- Pushing data to external systems like billing, CRM, asset management, or operations management via APIs
Let Metron’s water experts help you design a solution for your water business needs.
Real-Time Usage Visibility
Metron’s state-of-the-art Prism™ registers capture water usage every minute and transfer data overnight—or immediately during leak detection—via cellular networks, offering ultra‑granular, minute-by-minute insights.
Data Accuracy & Integrity
Built on secure cloud infrastructure, our meter data management system, WaterScope®, ensures:
- Automated validation for detecting anomalies
- Integrity controls to preserve long-term accuracy
- Robust storage for vast volumes of usage data
Advanced Analytics & Reporting
WaterScope provides many forms of reporting and analytics, including:
- High water usage
- Zero water usage
- Unauthorized irrigation
- Intermittent or continuous leaks
- Low temperatures
- Meters not reading over cellular networks
- Backflow
- and more
With the business-focused WaterScope® PLUS dashboard, Metron empowers teams to:
- Monitor trends, usage, and water expenses across portfolios
- Detect leaks or tenant-level anomalies
- Compare performance against peer benchmarks using machine learning insights
Billing & Operational Efficiency
- WaterScope transforms raw reads into verified billing data
- Automates maintenance management and service dispatch through the WaterScope Utility app
- Integrates with external systems for streamlined workflow
Scalable & Secure
- Scales effortlessly from single property to large utility systems
- Cloud-native security, privacy, and API-first architecture
- Compatible with third-party existing meters and infrastructure
