Use of multiple hardware and software products during meter installation
Lack of ability to directly communicate with AMR/AMI meters

Solution

Field-Proven Smart Metering Technology Solutions. Trimble Unity software and Trimble rugged mobile devices offer efficient and configurable GIS-centric meter installation and change-out workflows. Solutions allow utility operators using Trimble Unity web to plan, manage and dispatch meter installation jobs, while enabling field technicians using Trimble Unity mobile app on a mobile device (supported on iOS, Android and Windows) to spatially locate meter change-out or installation jobs, get driving directions and optimized routes, use intelligent installation, meter change-out and inspection forms and workflows, take photos, scan barcodes, record material, equipment and labor usage, and capture accurate GPS positions.

Paired with a Trimble rugged mobile device such as the Trimble Ranger 3, Trimble Nomad, Trimble Juno or Trimble TDC100, the solution provides a complete technology offering for efficiently planning and performing all meter installation, reading and asset maintenance work in the field.
