Oracle Utilities Meter Data Analytics offers pre-built dashboards that help you

improve metering performance and analyze consumption trends.

Interval metering data volumes pose an increasing challenge to utilities. Merely processing the

data may require new hardware, software, and business processes. Even more daunting can be

the challenge to maximize data value in order to realize a return on your interval metering

investment.

Oracle Utilities Meter Data Analytics helps utilities extract and use the information buried

in meter data. Its pre-built dashboards and KPIs drive business intelligence into all parts of the

utility by helping staff and executives:

• Analyze consumption trends.

• Monitor meter asset performance and make better buying decisions.

• Compare the performance of metering service providers and correct problems.

• Identify and target customer segments for specific energy efficiency and demand

management programs.

• Decrease losses from unbilled energy.

• Make more effective maintenance decisions that help avoid catastrophic grid failures.

Dashboards

Business Intelligence Foundation

The pre-built dashboards in Oracle Utilities Meter Data Analytics rest on a robust business

intelligence toolset. With it, organizations can readily produce additional performance

management tools like scorecards, standard reports, and ad hoc analyses for a wide variety of

purposes. This toolset also delivers analytics on mobile devices.

Oracle Meter Data Analytics and Oracle Business Intelligence provide a complete set of tools for driving business intelligence across all field service processes.

Business Processes

Used together, Oracle Meter Data Management’s eight dashboards and 69 graphic displays

enable utilities to analyze and improve an almost limitless array of business processes and

metrics. Below are a few examples:

Tamper Event Monitoring

Protect revenue by identifying tamper events that need investigation and correction.

In this example, the Events dashboard identifies the devices associated with tamper events. By drilling back to Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management, you can check device history for previous revenue-protection concerns.

Device Performance

Protect revenue by identifying and repairing or replacing non-functioning meters.

In this example, Oracle Utilities Meter Data Analytics helps utilities identify non-functioning meters, determine whether the meters have common factors (location, manufacturer, etc.), and then target repairs.

Track Low-Usage Customers

In this example, the Consumption dashboard helps protect revenue by identifying service points with low consumption, then drilling back into Meter Data Management to compare current and historical consumption.
