Itron Meter Data Management in Production at Florida Power & Light Company.FPL FPL feline panleukopenia. Utilizes Itron Enterprise Edition Software for the Evaluation of AMI Operational Efficiencies LIBERTY LAKE, Wash. -- Itron Inc. (Nasdaq:ITRI ITRI Industrial Technology Research Institute (Taiwan, ROC) ITRI Information Technology Research Institute ITRI Inhalation Toxicology Research Institute ITRI International Tin Research Institute Ltd ITRI Information Technology Reuse Initiative ) announced today that Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) has completed integration of Itron's Enterprise Edition (IEE IEE Institution of Electrical Engineers IEE Independent Educational Evaluation IEE Initial Environmental Examination IEE Initial Environmental Evaluation IEE Idiopathic Eosinophilic Esophagitis IEE Institute of Entrepreneurial Excellence IEE Interim Expendable Emitter ) software platform to manage meter data collected at FPL. The utility is the largest in the state of Florida, serving more than 4.4 million customer accounts. Itron EE solves many of the meter data management inefficiencies and integration difficulties that arise for utilities operating and maintaining multiple meter data collection systems. In addition to its current hand-held meter reading system, FPL uses automatic metering reading (AMR (1) (Adaptive Multi-Rate) A variable rate speech codec selected by the 3GPP for the 3G evolution of the GSM cellphone system (WCDMA). Using the Algebraic CELP (ACELP) compression technology, AMR provides toll quality sound at transmission rates from 4.75 to 12. ) hardware from multiple vendors to collect metering data. IEE software tools are compatible with each vendor's system, providing FPL with consistent processes and interfaces regardless of the meter data's source or application. Current plans are to expand the use of IEE for any further evaluations of Advanced Metering Infrastructure Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) or Advanced Metering Management (AMM) refers to systems that measure, collect and analyse energy usage, from advanced devices such as electricity meters, gas meters, and/or water meters, through various communication media on request or (AMI) deployments for its residential customers. FPL will leverage functions provided in IEE to understand how the data collected over the networks can be used to provide improved customer service and create operational efficiencies as additional AMI endpoints are deployed. "By deploying advanced metering, we are looking to use technology to improve service to our customers and identify opportunities to work more efficiently," said Marlene Santos Santos (sän`t  s), city (1996 pop. 412,288), São Paulo state, SE Brazil, on the island of São Vicente in the Atlantic just off the mainland. , vice
president of customer service for FPL. "In this case, advanced
metering and the proper application of the data are critical components
to meet those objectives. Implementing Itron's Enterprise Edition
enables us to streamline meter data collection from different sources,
including multiple AMI sources, and provides the data at a single point
for use in our operational processes."
"At Itron we are delighted to be working with one of the leading companies in the utility industry," said Philip Mezey, senior vice president for Itron software solutions. "Itron technology is providing FPL with a powerful platform and critical data to achieve significant customer service and operational improvements. We look forward to continued collaboration with FPL to help them meet critical business objectives and better serve their customers."
