Innovation, technology and quality

As the market for delivering and managing energy services has matured, so Elster has focused on innovation and quality and a highly sophisticated product range.

One trend has seen the widespread introduction of Automated Meter Reading (AMR) technology, which is based on one-way or two-way communication and allows utility companies to take remote wireless meter readings from either a handheld device or a static base station.

Elster is at the forefront of developing the next generation of data intelligence technology for metering. Known as Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), it provides utilities with a host of invaluable functionality, from leakage detection for water meters to outage management via electricity meters. And because the infrastructure provides two-way communication between the meter and utility company, the technology has made the remote connection and disconnection of services easier to manage.

Elster Integrated Solutions (EIS), based in Raleigh, North Carolina, will drive global programmes to help utilities worldwide adopt these smart metering systems.

While the essential designs of gas, electricity and water meters have remained fundamentally the same for half a century, Elster has striven to advance their quality and accuracy, and is today recognised for the strict precision of its meters. By combining these meters with the latest technology solutions, Elster will help ensure that its customers can improve their efficiencies, services and revenues.
