Since the advent of the electric bill, the utility industry has relied on meter reading to collect data. Over the past 5 years there has been a movement toward Automated Meter Reading (AMR), meter reading systems based on infrared, radio and cellular technologies. AMR has dramatically changed the way many utility companies perform their meter reading tasks, cutting costs and boosting efficiency within the metering department.

Today there is a new movement in data collection that is set to change the business of metering and data collection in a far more comprehensive way than standard AMR. Dynamic Virtual Metering™ or DVM™ is an intelligent, low cost, wireless AMR solution that meets the increasing data collection and measurement needs of utilities, municipalities and other industries requiring field data collection. DVM is scalable and highly versatile allowing practical implementation at nearly any level – from the small municipality to the regional utility provider. DVM will not only streamline the metering function within a company, it will revolutionize the way it conducts business.
