Temetra, With the Addition of Cellular NB-IoT
Communications, Enables Utilities to Streamline Operations with an
Enhanced Data Management Platform
Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI), which is innovating new ways for
utilities and cities to manage energy and water, has expanded the
capabilities of its Temetra® platform in Australia and New Zealand
to include NB-IoT communications, enabling the digital
transformation for water utilities. Temetra's comprehensive
offering includes meter data processing, storage, operational
analytics, validation and more. Adding NB-IoT functionality
provides water utilities with the flexibility they need to maximize
business value and streamline operations on a single platform.
Available now for the Australian and New Zealand markets, Itron is
showcasing the platform at OzWater in Melbourne, Australia, from
April 30 to May 2 in booth HO5.
Itron’s Temetra platform can seamlessly analyze water data from
multi-vendor meters to highlight consumption patterns, identify
irregularities and generate billing information in a way that more
accurately reflects water usage. With the expansion of Temetra to
include NB-IoT, on top of existing support for multiple
communication protocols, including LoRa and other water advanced
metering infrastructure network communications, alongside existing
manual and automated meter reading systems, Temetra provides
utilities with true interoperability at all stages of the
transition to a digital future. Additionally, Temetra includes a
native device management system and can also integrate with other
device management systems, consolidating technologies and data
sources into a single platform.
The benefits of adding NB-IoT to Temetra include:
- Driving Operational Efficiencies: Utilities can now
remotely read water meters instead of manual reading to drive
increased operating efficiencies, including reduced risk in related
incidents. Further, increased visibility from the transmission
mains to the District Metering Areas, is consolidated into one
platform to streamline operations. This data enables utilities to
reduce costs by finding and fixing leaks faster, reducing or
eliminating billing complaints and prioritizing maintenance and
capital spending based on the best data available.
- Maximizing Business Value: Utilities can monitor water
usage with higher data granularity, enabling utilities to gain
quicker actionable insights to identify non-revenue water for both
customer and water distribution system leaks. Utilities can better
prioritize future projects with enhanced insight into the water
system.
- Enables the Digital Transition: Gathering diverse data
sources and technologies from the field into a single unified
platform, Temetra enables utilities to choose the best tool for the
job, eliminating vendor lock-in, and enabling technology choices.
This reduces integration costs and data silos and allows utilities
to adopt or pilot new technologies with minimal operational or IT
impacts.
“Today, over 40 water utilities in Australia rely on Temetra for
data collection, data management and data analytics. Adding native
support for NB-IoT enables our customers to seamlessly integrate
this technology into their business without adding complexity to
their architecture,” said Paul Nelsen, vice president of
sales, APAC at Itron. “By supporting different choices in
communications protocols, and endpoint vendors we are helping to
streamline our customers’ digital transformation. We look forward
to helping more utilities use digital technologies to create new
efficiencies, connect communities and encourage conservation.”
