functionality profile The portable Mobile Collection System is Itron’s latest addition to its industry-leading portfolio of Mobile AMR solutions. The Mobile Collection System’s combination of performance, portability and affordability represents a significant leap forward for utilities of all types and sizes endeavoring to maximize operational efficiency, reduce costs and provide superb customer service. Simply put, never before has such robust meter reading performance been contained in such a convenient and cost-effective package. The Mobile Collection System interrogates and receives information from ERT modules installed on gas, electric and water meters. The system includes: a transmitter to wake up the ERT module, receivers to manage incoming ERT module data transmissions, and a data acquisition computer to store meter reading data. It operates on software-selectable utility radio frequencies, and is capable of reading ERT modules operating in either “wake-up” or “bubble-up” mode. A single Mobile Collection System reads an average of 10-12,000 meters in an eight-hour shift, and can read up to 16,000 meters per day, depending on meter density and system use. It can also read more than one route simultaneously. The Mobile Collection System provides unparalleled mobile meter reading performance, yet it is small enough to fit in any vehicle and can be easily transferred between vehicles, eliminating the need for a dedicated vehicle for meter reading. The durable Mobile Collection System is easy to use, featuring a user-friendly interface and touch-sensitive display, making training and operation a snap, and is completely compatible with Itron meter reading and host processing software.
