MeterSense MDM

Smart meters need a smarter back office.

MeterSense checks interval reads before they reach a bill. A bad read gets caught and estimated in the back office, not found in a customer’s mailbox.

Correct bill goes out

At 03:00 on 2026-10-13, meter MTR 40-118-227 at 418 Larchmont Ridge Rd reported 48,000 gallons in one hour, more than a 5/8 inch meter can pass. MeterSense failed the read on its maximum-flow check and estimated 0.4 gallons from the meter's 30-day history. The other 37 meters on Route 14 validated. Account 1027-48810-03 was billed on the estimated read.

Validation Before the Bill Goes Out

Automated VEE (Validation, Estimation, Editing) catches anomalies before they become billing errors. Leak detection, zero-consumption alerts, and threshold monitoring protect both your revenue and your customer relationships.

FAQ

MeterSense Questions

MeterSense integrates with Itron OpenWay, Sensus FlexNet, Landis+Gyr Gridstream, Aclara STAR, Badger Meter BEACON, and other AMI head-end systems using MultiSpeak 4.1 protocol. The platform is designed to be head-end agnostic, so if your utility changes metering infrastructure, your MDM does not need to be replaced.
AMI vendor analytics are typically focused on network health and meter performance. MeterSense provides billing-grade data validation and utility-specific operational intelligence. It bridges the gap between raw meter data and the accurate, auditable reads your CIS needs for billing. Most utilities find that the AMI analytics and MDM analytics serve different operational purposes.
Validation, Estimation, and Editing rules are configurable based on your utility's business requirements. The system flags reads that fall outside defined thresholds (high usage, zero consumption, negative reads, tamper indicators), applies estimation algorithms for missing data, and routes exceptions to staff for review. All VEE actions are logged for audit purposes.
Yes. Continuous flow analysis identifies meters showing 24-hour consumption patterns consistent with leaks. The system generates alerts that can be routed to customer service or field operations. For water utilities, this capability alone can justify the MDM investment through water loss reduction and improved customer communication.
MeterSense is natively integrated with enQuesta CIS. Validated reads flow directly into the billing cycle without file transfers or batch imports. Service orders, customer inquiries about consumption, and usage disputes can reference the same interval data in both systems. This native integration reduces the reconciliation issues common with third-party MDM products.
Yes. MeterSense can operate as a standalone meter data management platform and export validated reads to any CIS using standard file formats and protocols. While the deepest integration benefits come with enQuesta CIS, utilities evaluating MDM independently can deploy MeterSense on its own timeline.
MeterSense includes standard operational reports for consumption analysis, exception management, meter performance, and data quality metrics. For advanced analytics and custom dashboards, data flows into enQuesta Lakehouse, where your team can use Power BI, Tableau, or any preferred BI tool.
MeterSense is available as a cloud-hosted solution through enQuesta Cloud or can be deployed on-premises. Cloud deployment is recommended for most utilities as it eliminates infrastructure management overhead and ensures you always run the current version with the latest AMI protocol updates.
