If the utility wants to better understand the AMI data, they have to run a myriad of <br />reports, and then try to mine the data to find the exception conditions of concern. With the <br />BEACON® AMA software suite this is no longer necessary. The BEACON AMA software suite <br />provides utilities with tools over and above meter reading and network management. BEACON <br />AMA software offers proactive analytics based on interval metering and collected exception <br />data. Using the following steps, utilities can put the BEACON AMA software's analytics <br />management tools and system to work: <br />• Define the system exception conditions to monitor <br />• Define accounts, or account groups, to monitor for the exception condition <br />" Define method (email, SMS, or dashboard), frequency, who should be notified of the <br />alert, and what suggested action should be taken <br />• BEACON AMA software continually monitors the incoming data for the defined <br />exception condition <br />• When the defined condition is detected, a notice is sent, via the utility's chosen method, <br />and the utility performs the suggested action <br />The end result for your utility is improved efficiency along with proactive management. <br />Hybrid or mixed technology systems are readily supported through BEACON AMA. The <br />County can choose to use either the ORION Cellular or ORION ME and endpoints within <br />their system; it's all the same to BEACON AMA. It's just data. No other manufacturer offers <br />you this degree offlexibility. The County can choose where to use each technology within <br />their system dependingon their functionality needs <br />USER ADMINISTRATION / PERMISSIONS <br />BEACON® AMA software allows for three levels of authorization based on user roles, with <br />the ability to establish different levels of read, write, delete and creation through the <br />system administrator. Users are added and permissions set at the database administration <br />level, and different users have individual permissions as needed. Primary and alternate <br />administrators should be defined to provide access availability. <br />Badger's BEACON AMA Software provides utilities with tools over and above meter reading and <br />network management. BEACON AMA offers proactive analytics based on the interval metering <br />and exception data that is collected. <br />Once the utility's important exception conditions have been defined and configured, BEACON <br />AMA can now take over and alert the utility when action is needed.
