Included, Temetra allows the utilities to collect, upload and store the meter data in real time. With this, utilities can use analytics features to track and optimize their workload and meter routes. The GIS-based data collection Android TM app keeps employees safe in the field through hazard warnings and potential danger alerts prior to approaching an electric meter. The included GPS support allows utilities to easily create and assign routes based on up-to-date meter location information and workload. "By taking advantage of Itron's Temetra solution, utilities can keep employees and contractors safe while improving operational efficiencies and customer service," said Don Reeves, senior vice president of Outcomes at Itron.
