What is AMI?

Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is the complete system that connects smart meters to utility operations. It includes the smart meters themselves, the communication network that transmits data, and the Head End System (HES) that collects, processes, and acts on that data. Tech OVN's AMI solution covers the full stack — meters, communication, HES, billing, and consumer portal.

Head End System Features

The brain of the AMI system — collecting, processing, and acting on data from every meter on your network.

Centralised Data Aggregation

Collect meter data every 15–30 minutes. Eliminate manual readings. Supports 4G and RF communication.

Real-Time Monitoring

Real-time meter data and communication status. Faster response to grid anomalies, consumer behaviour changes, and tampering.

Remote Control

Change relay settings, update firmware, modify time-of-day tariff structures, take on-demand readings — all remotely.

Integrated Billing Engine

Automate billing cycles. Minimise manual intervention for meter reading and data input. Reduce billing disputes with transparent, auditable data.

Cloud-Based & Scalable

Cloud architecture allows deployment from small pilot programmes to nationwide rollouts. Scale as your smart meter network grows.

Consumer Portal & App

Consumers can track electricity consumption, view billing data, and manage their accounts through a web portal and mobile app.

System Architecture

Data flows from the meter on the wall to the dashboard in the cloud — and commands flow back the same way.

Why Tech OVN AMI?

Our AMI system is customised to Indian requirements — from DLMS/COSEM compliance to integration with state utility billing systems and AMISP specifications. We provide end-to-end support from pilot design through full deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about our AMI system.

AMR (Automatic Meter Reading) only collects data from meters one-way. AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) enables two-way communication — you can read meters, send commands, update firmware, change tariffs, and disconnect/reconnect remotely.
Yes. Our Head End System includes APIs for integration with existing utility billing systems. We also provide a built-in billing engine for utilities that want an integrated solution.
Our cloud-based architecture is designed to scale from small pilots (hundreds of meters) to large deployments (millions of meters). Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
We support 4G (LTE/NB-IoT) and RF communication from meters to the HES. The HES supports DLMS/COSEM protocol for meter interoperability.
