1 Flexible & Affordable Meter Reading Technology Michele Harvey, Badger Meter October 28, Badger Meter, Inc. 1

2 Objective & Introductions Objective Introduce today s meter reading offerings and how they can be mixed-and-matched to provide hybrid solutions custom for each utility s needs and budget. Michele Harvey Badger Meter Field Technical Support cell/text: mharvey@badgermeter.com 2013 Badger Meter, Inc. 2

3 Agenda Meter Reading Technology Advantages Challenges New Technologies Flexible & Affordable Solutions Time Permitting Advanced Metering Analytics 2013 Badger Meter, Inc. 3

4 Meter Reading Technology Advantages Automatic reading systems provides the utility with the tools to better manage material and human resources Routes are read more efficiently Customer service is improved Billing disputes are handled with proof of customer s water use Workman s comp claims are reduced Man power is repurposed for improved utility management Data supports required regulatory reporting and conservation efforts 2013 Badger Meter, Inc. 4

5 Challenge Choosing Between Technologies 2013 Badger Meter, Inc. 5

6 Definition - AMR Automatic Meter Reading Drive-By, Walk-By, Mobile Reading Systems Meter is connected to radio via an encoder register and the reading equipment is located in the hands or vehicle of the meter reader.

7 Definition - AMI Advanced Metering Infrastructure Fixed Network System Meter is connected to a radio via an encoder register and the reading equipment is located in fixed geographical locations such as ground storage tanks, buildings, light poles, etc. Cellular options are now available 2013 Badger Meter, Inc. 7

8 Meter Collector Meter Billing Location Management Software Software Handheld Computer Computer Meter, Encoder, Laptop & Receiver & Radio Server Server Gateway 2013 Badger Meter, Inc. 8

9 Challenge Geographical Terrain 2013 Badger Meter, Inc. 9

10 Radio Frequency & Line-of-Site Site selection for network infrastructure is critical for optimal system performance. Radio waves start out at a certain strength and lose their strength due to distance traveled and impediments (buildings or terrain) along the way. This is referred to as Path Loss or Attenuation and is measured in units called a decibels or db. Output power is typically measured in the unit of Watts ( W ) but can also be measured in a unit known as dbm, or decibels referenced to 1 milliwatt.

11 Tower Height, Range and Quantity of Collectors The higher the gateway is installed, the farther it sees, reducing number of collectors that are required to cover the same geographic area miles or 1,847 feet 1.5 miles or 7,920 feet With the height to reach distances above, to cover a one square mile area, assuming the terrain is relatively level, a system of three or four gateway transceivers at 30 or one gateway at 60 may be deployed CONFIDENTIAL 2013 Badger Meter, Inc. 12

12 Potential Path Loss A primary cause of path loss is associated with getting a signal out of a house. Here are a few common examples of typical RF loss with an indoor set application from a 1W, 30 dbm endpoint: Type Loss Output Floor -10 db +20 dbm Interior Wall -4.4 db dbm First Floor Ceiling -6 db +24 dbm Exterior Wall -6 db +24 dbm Window -3 db +27 dbm Solid Metal -30 db 0 dbm

13 Traditional AMI = Custom Design No 2 Cities Are The Same Each must be designed Topography, vegetation, buildings, etc. Engineers work with the utility Infrastructure Flexibility Water Towers and Tanks Publicly-owned Buildings Communication Towers Utility Poles Street Lights

14 Traditional AMI = Custom System Garibaldi, OR 6 collectors for 400 meters 2013 Badger Meter, Inc. 15

15 Challenge High Buy-In Costs 2013 Badger Meter, Inc. 16

16 Traditional AMR/AMI Costs Purchase Collector(s) Installation costs Possible vendor engineering charges Electricity charges or Solar costs Annual vendor backhaul fees Annual vendor maintenance fees Regular replacement Unexpected replacement

17 Traditional AMR/AMI Costs Purchase Meter Data Management Software Annual vendor maintenance fees IT services for backup and updates Possible vendor upgrade charges

18 Traditional AMI Costs Purchase Server Annual vendor maintenance fees IT services for back-up and updates Regular Replacement Purchase Handheld Annual vendor maintenance fees Regular Replacement

19 New Technologies 2013 Badger Meter, Inc. 20

20 Cellular Networks & Hosting 2013 Badger Meter, Inc. 21

21 Cellular AMA - How It Works Cellular RF Link Cellular Endpoint Cellular Network Secure Hosted Software Suite Internet RF Link Fixed Network Endpoint Data Collector Utility Client Computers Consumer Portal Smart Phone ENDPOINTS DATA COLLECTION SYSTEM MANAGEMENT

22 Traditional Fixed Network vs Cellular Network Cellular technology represents the future of water utility meter reading and has become the closest thing to a universal network Water utilities can now deploy a cellular AMI system as easily as an mobile AMR system with no network to install or maintain Worry-free deployment Cellular AMI uses more reliable data network protocol versus voice network Cellular operators are highly regulated to ensure minimal outages and are normally one of the first utilities to come back online Cellular operators have demonstrated rapid restorations during natural disasters such as hurricanes Sandy and Katrina

23 Solutions Flexible & Affordable 2013 Badger Meter, Inc. 25

24 Hybrid Option Garibaldi, OR Hybrid: 2 collectors & cellular 2013 Badger Meter, Inc. 26

25 High Density Systems Cellular = 65% Savings Hanska, MN 1 collector, 200 meters 2013 Badger Meter, Inc. 27

26 Low Density Systems Cellular = 49% Savings Holly Springs, MS 131 collectors for 6000 meters over 200 square miles 68 collectors for 90% 2013 Badger Meter, Inc. 28

27 Advanced Metering Analytics (AMA) 2013 Badger Meter, Inc. 29

28 Increased Visibility AMA Evolution = AMI of + Smart AMR to Software AMA AMR Automated Meter Reading AMI Advanced Metering Infrastructure AMA Advanced Metering Analytics Mobile Meter Reading Provides Efficient Reading with Monthly Billing Data Fixed Network Meter Reading Provides Raw Daily or Hourly Data Fixed Network with Powerful Analytics Software Provides Actionable Proactive Intelligence

29 Providing Advanced Metering Analytics Select & Define System Exceptions with the simple Analytics Configurator Define Accounts to Monitor for Defined Exception Consumption under 25% of average usage Commercial Meters larger than 2 Continual System Monitoring of Interval Data Define Who, How, How Often, and Action to take when alerted of Exception ( , SMS, or Dashboard) BEACON AMA automatically monitors data and notifies per your instructions Meter Supervisor immediately to setup work order for investigation Actionable Business Decisions from Proactive Intelligence Improved Utility Management Assign Field Technician to investigate Meter Element Replaced

30 Resource Management Proactive System Analytics Eliminates the need to run a variety of reports to monitor exception conditions Metering-Based Configurations Hourly / Daily Consumption Consumption Percentages Exceptions (Continual Usage Leaks, Cut-Wire Tamper, No Usage, Reverse Flow, Encoder Error, Water Main Leaks) Inactive Account Usage Notification by System Dashboard, or SMS

31 Making Water Visible 2013 Badger Meter, Inc. 33

32 Enhanced Customer Service Today, innovative customer engagement is the key to providing a revolutionary customer service experience Empowering the consumer to understand and control their own water usage Builds a better relationship with the customer Educates them on ways to take ownership and responsibility of their usage
