Utility services company adds resources to support firmware upgrades, over-the-air upgrades, custom retrofits and variable programming for millions of utility meters at a time
Metadigm Services, a utility services company specializing in Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) services to utilities, today announces renewed investment in its popular meter reprogramming practice, previously known as Meter Lab Services.
"Most of today's early generation smart meters can be upgraded if you have the right systems in place. What we do in our meter reprogramming practice is technical, precise and critical. We are investing in making technical meter upgrades easier for our customers across the country," says Matt Heath, Area Vice President at Metadigm's testing and warehouse operations facility in Covington, Ga.
Metadigm's Covington plant, for example, is upgrading its infrastructure to take on large meter retrofit and upgrade projects in the coming months. Details include upgrading its meter recycling program, which handles 50,000 meters a month, and also upgrading over 60,000 square feet of racked warehouse space. In addition to the racks, warehouse and recycling program upgrades, the company is investing in new hardware and systems that streamline over-the air firmware updates, meter accuracy testing, and custom variable programming. Metadigm plans similar upgrades for their Midwest and Southwest meter reprogramming facilities, which are similar to the Covington plant and support utilities across the country.
Metadigm Services can now take meter upgrade projects from just a few hundred meters to a few million meters at a time. The growing company also plans to expand meter reprogramming services in the West and Canada in the near future, according to CEO Robert Shively.
"We are able to seamlessly morph our field operations with our own fleet, logistics, testing, and warehouse," says Heath. The most popular meters Metadigm supports include GE, Sensus, Tantalus, and Landis+Gyr, although Heath comments that the Metadigm engineering warehouses are capable of working on any modern meter.
