Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is a technology used in the electricity sector to measure, collect, and analyze energy usage data. It is composed of smart meters, communication networks, and data management systems. Smart meters are installed in homes and businesses to measure electricity usage in real-time, and the data is then transmitted to the utility company via a communication network. The data is then analyzed to identify trends in energy usage and to detect outages or other problems. AMI also enables customers to monitor their energy usage and make informed decisions about their energy consumption. AMI has become increasingly popular in recent years as utilities seek to improve their efficiency and reduce costs. It also helps utilities to better manage peak demand and reduce energy waste. Some companies in the AMI market include Itron, Landis+Gyr, Sensus, Schneider Electric, and Aclara Technologies. Show Less Read more
