Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) is a technology used to automatically collect consumption, diagnostic and status data from gas, electricity or water metering devices. The AMR then transfers this data to a central database for billing, troubleshooting and analysis.

Automatic meter reading (AMR) is the technology of automatically collecting consumption, diagnostic, and status data from water meter or energy metering devices (gas, electric) and transferring that data to a central database for billing, troubleshooting, and analyzing.

As utilities seek smarter, more efficient ways to manage gas resources, two common solutions come into play: AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) and AMR (Automated Meter Reading). While both systems help utilities gather essential data from customer meters, they differ in functionality, communication methods, and potential benefits.

Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) systems use advanced technology to read, monitor, and maintain water, electric, and gas utility distribution systems. A network of smart meters automatically communicate data between utilities and consumers, in a centralized database for billing and analysis.
