Automatic meter reading(AMR) is a technology that automatically collects data from water meters related to consumption, diagnostics, and operational status on a daily basis, typically through radio frequencies (RF).
Advanced metering infrastructure(AMI) is an integrated system of smart meters, communication networks, and data management systems that enables two-way communication between utilities and their customers.
Flowless represents the culmination of both technologies’ evolution over the past few decades. As opposed to traditional AMR or AMI, which rely on older RF technologies rst introduced to the market back in the 1980s, Flowless leverages the latest IoT and cloud computing technologies to outperform expensive communication systems and hardware.
The Flowless digitally connected network offers the capability to control and even shut off water ow via connected, remotely accessible valves in cases of leaks and emergencies. The live stream of data Flowless provides allows you to analyze your usage on demand, identify abnormal events, and glean actionable insights in real-time, instead of as part of daily readings (after it’s often too late). In addition to the established value of adopting AMR and AMI technologies, Flowless added features offer signi cant ROI in the form of operational and insurance savings.
