Why AMI
Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI) has substantial advantages over traditional metering technology and services. Traditional metering services are unable to deliver the information and control required in today's volatile, conservation focussed and supply-constrained energy markets.
Currently, energy companies use a wide range of people and complex processes to provide a basic level of service to consumers. This approach is prone to inaccuracy and reliability issues resulting in reduced levels of customer service.
AMI has a range of capabilities that can completely change the way consumers are serviced going forward.
The new capabilities will provide clear advantages to both energy companies and consumers.
Together, these advantages to energy companies and consumers amount to fundamental improvements in how energy markets work.
Arc's AMI technology opens a new era of choice and flexibility at the retail level of energy markets, where demand and supply actually occur. When energy companies and their customers have the means for detailed, regular and accurate measurement and control of such supply and demand, the outcome will be greater efficiency in energy markets overall.
AMI provides a new way of servicing customers, now and into the future. To see one view of how this works click on the View Demos link for a set of animated films that takes you from the current day through to an AMI future.
