As a trusted provider of energy solutions, Rodan will assist your utility in its Smart Meter Implementation (SMI) plan by working with you to select the right vendors for your smart meters, data harvesting, data repository, web presentment, billing and customer information systems. Rodan can design, install and manage a system that is guaranteed to meets your specific requirements. This includes the deployment of strategic pilots between your utility and its partners to test the AMR systems and your back office requirements. Rodan will evaluate your current metering population and develop a pilot/full deployment strategy that targets expired metering and high costs areas so the utility sees a sustainable operational benefits early in their SMI plan.
Implementation:
- Product assessment and selection (also considering other commodity metering, load control and other utility opportunities)
- Design, engineer, procure, implement and maintain metering systems architecture (related hardware, software and communications) for utilities and their customers
Operation:
- Software service solutions including: Data collection (harvesting), web presentment, real-time pricing, complex C&I billing, alarming and notification, on-demand meter reads and summary reporting by email
- Hardware support including: Meter programming, field support and troubleshooting
- Detailed Service Level Agreements (SLA) with penalties clearly identifying the responsibilities of the utility and Rodan
