Located in the eastern area of Nebraska, the City of Fremont has a population of 27,141 and the Dept. of Utilities serves electric, gas, and water service, with a mission to provide safe, reliable, and economical services to the community. The department has found an innovative way to do this with the help of technology.
Leveraging the OATI webSmartIoT AMIoT, the staff has a new tool to improve operational tasks. The department wanted a way to present consistent 15-minute meter data reads to enhance monitoring and reporting of voltage levels—and that is exactly what it is finding with this new AMI (advanced metering infrastructure) solution.
Here is how this can help in the City of Fremont:
- Two-way communications for operational control
- Upgraded outage detection and restoration
- Remote disconnect and reconnect of residential electric meters
Looking to the future, we will see many utilities tap into technology to support realtime utilities quality data analysis. Data is the key to ensuring utilities remain safe, reliable, and economical. What are you seeing in your own communities?
