Red States And Blue States Are All Becoming Orange States

All across America thousands of utilities are electing to go with field-proven AMR and AMI solutions from Neptune's ARB® Utility Management System™ portfolio. From R900® radio frequency technology that allows utilities to migrate from mobile and hybrid to full fixed network AMR while minimizing stranded assets, to R450™ radio frequency technology that supports AMI through system-wide, time-synchronized reads from every meter and District Metered Area monitoring down to the neighborhood level, Neptune provides customized solutions to meet the unique needs of utilities of all sizes.

This June at ACE11 in Washington, D.C., you'll have the opportunity to meet with Neptune representatives. They'll be on hand to answer your questions and to demonstrate some of the systems on display. You'll also get a chance to see three previews of coming Neptune attractions. Come by and visit Neptune at Exhibit #1325 and see for yourself how our customers are saving time, labor, money, and the environment – and why the Proof is in the Numbers.

Go Green and Shed the Lead With Neptune

It's Good to Be Green.In fact, Neptune was green before green was cool.Back in 2001, we were the first in the industry to convert our manufacturing facilities to use a lead-free bronze alloy in all of our bronze body meters. These lead free bronze meters are a safer product for our customers and their customers, for our employees, and for the environment as a whole.

We're getting the word out – we not only lead the industry in compliance with current lead free regulations, but we've met the upcoming revised requirements for several years. To learn more about these amendments to lead leaching and content standards for drinking water system components, make sure to see our exhibit video that walks you through the details.

Of course, that's not the only reason orange is the new green. Our ARB Utility Management Systems allow our utility customers to save precious water, aid with conservation efforts, reduce truck rolls and their resulting carbon footprint, migrate technology while holding onto existing assets, and detect leaks to prevent waste and customer high water bills.At the same time, we've implemented energy-saving and extensive recycling practices at our manufacturing facility.

Good for the environment.Good for our customers.Good for our employees.Neptune works hard to make being green look easy.

A Preview Of Neptune's New Intelligent Data Management and Analytics System® – A data engine that drives on all cylinders

This spring marks the debut of an exciting new addition to the ARB® N_SIGHT™ suite. At ACE11 Neptune will preview its new intelligent data management and analytics solution, ARB® N_SIGHT™ IQ.

Building on field-proven technology, this smart system seamlessly aggregates and manages data with ARB N_SIGHT AMI and AMR host software suites. It is designed specifically to address the challenges of managing and utilizing the vast amount of water meter related information being captured by our AMR and AMI solutions1. N_SIGHT IQ was designed specifically to address the data management and reporting needs of water utilities.

With ARB N_SIGHT IQ, utilities will be better able to plan, make smart decisions, and address critical issues by allowing for deeper analysis of their entire system. And through its innovative and powerful customer web portal, a utility's customers will be able to compare their own consumption to others', set consumption alerts, and receive detailed feedback to see how their conservation efforts are impacting usage. It's all about giving Neptune's utility customers — and their customers — as much control of their data as possible.

1 N_SIGHT IQ version 1 currently supports data from N_SIGHT AMI. A future release will support data from N_SIGHT AMR.

A True Full Line of Electromagnetic Water Meters

 

The proof of Neptune's dedication to providing comprehensive solutions for its customers is the number of product lines Neptune offers, including the new line of electromagnetic water meters. Stop by the Neptune exhibit and view the line of TRU/MAG™ meters. Each TRU/MAG operates with no moving parts, is battery powered, and measures wide flow ranges at near 100 percent accuracy.

The TRU/MAG was designed to help utilities increase water revenue while reducing the operating and maintenance costs associated with mechanical water meters. When connected to a Neptune R900 or R450 MIU, the TRU/MAG can provide 8-digit high resolution absolute encoder remote meter reading.

All TRU/MAG meters meet or exceed the performance requirements of AWWA C701 Standard and are approved for use in water utility billing, municipal water/wastewater, and well usage reporting. For a preview of how they'll meet your performance requirements, see the new line at ACE11.
