With approximately 3.5 million AMI meters estimated to be deployed across AGL’s service territory by the end of 2013, the company recognized the need to manage the increased meter data requirements through the integration with its core SAP retail customer information systems.

AGL has chosen OSIsoft MDUS product that will provide the data capture and historical repository for meter data and the integration with SAP for utilities.

AGL has selected OSIsoft to leverage the company’s scalable technology, the flexibility of the PI system infrastructure, and its SAP partnership for the deployment of the project that is expected to go live in September 2011.

Ron Kolz, senior vice president of sales and business development at OSIsoft, said: “OSIsoft has been a leader in providing real-time infrastructure for the smart grid. The OSIsoft MDUS product uses OSIsoft technology to provide a robust infrastructure for meter data collection and integration with the SAP back office functions.”
