AMI & Meter Data Management

Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) provides the foundation for the modern utility, delivering the essential data for intelligent grid operations. A robust meter data management system (MDMS) is required to process this information and unlock its true value. Metering is changing as utilities move to leverage AMI for additional grid capabilities. 1898 & Co. helps utilities build this digital foundation, guiding you through the entire project life cycle to enhance operational efficiency, customer engagement and grid intelligence.
