Multi-utility AMI

Maximise efficiency and gain more value of data with a second-generation multi-utility AMI solution

Adding intelligence begins with knowledge

Multi-utility smart metering used to be about collecting consumption data from heat/cooling, water and electricity meters and using them for accurate billing. Now, in the days of the digital utility, this is far from enough. That’s why second-generation multi-utility advanced metering infrastructure focus on generating more value from smart meter data.

We have spent decades developing smart meters and AMI systems for district heating, water and electricity in close cooperation with the utilities who use them. That has given us the in-depth knowledge and understanding needed to create a complete multi-utility solution that addresses the everyday challenges within the utility sector, regardless of whether your business is district heating, water or electricity distribution.

Explore the benefits

Flexibility protects your investment

Our multi-utility solution builds on two fully flexible modular smart metering systems: OMNIA® , designed for power utilities, and READy, designed for district heating and water utilities. Combine the two systems to fulfill any multi-utility requirement, whether you cover multiple supply types yourself or cooperate with other utilities. And no matter which system you begin with, you will be able to add the other later. In other words, you get a solution that adapts to the changing needs of your business, ensuring that you safeguard your investment – today as well as tomorrow.

Share capacity instead of wasting it

A second-generation multi-utility AMI lets you read all consumption types in one infrastructure. That opens the door to new business models for electricity utilities, who can exploit their communication infrastructure’s full capacity by collecting data from heat and water meters too. For heat and water utilities, using an existing infrastructure provides an easy shortcut to remote reading. For all, the benefit of sharing the investment is obvious.

Targeted tools maximize efficiency

Not all utilities are alike. That’s why a Kamstrup multi-utility solution lets you use the same infrastructure for transmission of all consumption data while the software user interface and analytics tools remain targeted to each supply type. So, whether your business is district heating, water or electricity distribution, you get the specialized tools that that suit your day-to-day tasks. That’s the smart way to maximum efficiency. And honestly, why settle for less?

9 utilities, 192,000 metering points

The investment in a shared intelligent multi-utility system has not only meant significant benefits and savings for the nine members of the MV Group and their customers. The system’s flexibility has also made it possible for a number of smaller utility companies to become part of the collaboration.
