About Orbit MDM
Orbit Meter Data Management (MDM) is a middleware software system that associates the information from the meters through the AMI system and culminates in the utility’s CIS system. Routinely, Orbit MDM collects over 3,600,000 annual reads of raw AMI data from a single meter and transforms that into graphical depictions and concise customer use information. Data management inherent with the MDM system affords to retrieval of current and historical information from interval meter reads as frequently as every 5 minutes. Responding to customer inquiries as well as first-hand monitoring of distribution assets such as transformers and meters, is a standard function of the Orbit MDM system. Multiple service types such as electrical, water, and gas are easily managed by directly selecting a tab. Similarly, changing viewing information from any year, month or day period is also easily performed with the Orbit MDM system. Interfaces are available today for all major AMI vendor systems.

MECOMS Meter Data Management
MECOMS Meter Data Management (MDM) focuses on data quality and controlling the information flood. It is a full-fledged MDM system, handling all aspects of meter data collection, validation, and calculation to turn raw meter readings into reliable consumption data. MECOMS provides two-way communication with smart meters and is able to process large volumes of smart metering data. We also handle Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) as a core process. It can easily integrate with existing systems, such as MV90, but also communicates natively with other automatic meters. MECOMS has the necessary functionalities to receive metering data from various sources. On the one hand, are end customers able to provide their index values via a self-service portal? Our smart data application server on the other hand allows you to receive smart metering data directly from the meter or via an integration. On top, the platform allows you to create tours and send out meter readers to collect reads in the field.
