혁신적인 계량기 및 계량 기술 제공업체인 넵튠테크놀로지그룹(Neptune Technology Group)이 자사의 AMR 및 AMI 시스템에 적합한 N_SIGHT™ 소프트웨어에서 시설 및 공공업무, 지방정부를 위한 도시업무 자산관리 시스템까지 전 데이터 상호운용성을 제공하는 넵튠 커넥터(Neptune Connector) 출시를 발표했다.

도시업무를 위한 넵튠 커넥터는 고도계량인프라(AMI) 또는 자동계측(AMR)을 통해 현장에서 발견되는 사고, 예외사항, 경보 등을 이용자 또는 현장서비스요원이 사용할 수 있도록 ‘조치항목(actionable items)’으로 전환하는 것을 지원한다.

 

 

 

Neptune Technology Group Inc., a provider of innovative meter reading and metering technologies, has announced the release of the Neptune Connector for Cityworks that provides data interoperability from the company's N_SIGHT™ software suite for its AMR and AMI systems to the Cityworks Asset Management System for utilities, public works and local government.

 

The Neptune Connector for Cityworks supports alerts, events and exceptions captured from the field via an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) or automatic meter reading (AMR) system to be turned into 'actionable items' for use by Cityworks users and field service crews. This information about a water distribution system is often trapped within the metering system, requiring substantial manual effort to extract and leverage across departmental boundaries.

 

To support the transformation of 'system information' into 'actionable items' in an automated and near real-time fashion, Neptune has developed a connector application that utilizes its N_SIGHT platform interfaces (APIs) to automatically generate work orders or service requests for processing inside Cityworks.

 

"We are thrilled to offer this automated solution to the long-standing problem utilities have had with their AMR and especially AMI systems -- namely, how to leverage all of the information being gathered by these metering applications to help make their utility more effective and efficient," said John Sala, director of Marketing for Systems at Neptune. "Now, for example, a priority alarm that is generated by the Neptune AMR or AMI system can automatically generate a work order in Cityworks."
