The Itron Experience at DistribuTECH: The Journey Continues
February 05, 2019
Itron was created by utility executives and engineers who, back in the 1970s, were looking for a better way to collect meter data—one with improved accuracy and speed. This led to the development of the ruggedized handheld computer and transformed how utilities operate. And it started Itron on the path to innovations across the utility space:
So what’s next? Smart, foundational technologies and networks allow us to push critical intelligence to the very point of service, providing an elastic and efficient infrastructure for analytics, leak detection, outage prevention, predictive maintenance and more. Advancements like distributed intelligence help utilities and smart communities deploy energy and water systems that are safe, secure, reliable and most of all, resilient. We believe this is the inevitable future of utility and city networks. And with the right network, we can create smart communities that fully leverage the power of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) through applications like:
You can experience this all today. The ability to connect technology, software and services to people and data creates smarter, interactive communities that open the door to new revenue streams, increased operational efficiency, and can make communities safer, smarter and more livable.
