Siemens will integrate the MDMS with SMECO’s key operational and customer service systems, and will begin implementation of eMeter EnergyIP as part of SMECO’s Smart Meter project.
The Smart Meter project encompasses an MDMS, Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) technology and a Web portal solution.
SMECO has chosen to work with Sensus to provide the AMI network; Siemens will work hand-in-hand with Sensus to link the AMI system with eMeter EnergyIP.
Siemens Smart Grid Applications president Paul Camuti said MDMS will provide the framework for SMECO to reduce operational expenses, improve customer service capabilities, and offer time-based rates to optimize the value the Co-op brings to its customer-members.
