Mueller Systems announced its latest AMI feature, Automated Leak Detection (ALD) that integrates acoustic-based leak detection technology from Echologics with the Mi.Net® Mueller infrastructure network. Mueller's fixed, two-way AMI network for utilities fully automates the meter reading-to-billing process and provides remote access to real-time information such as meter readings, alarm conditions and historical usage data. The main component of ALD is Mi.Logger™, a radio frequency transceiver featuring Echologics' sensors and algorithms housed in a cast-iron or high-density plastic enclosure that replaces the pumper nozzle caps of wet and dry barrel fire hydrants throughout a utility's service area. Detected leaks, bursts, low-flow, and hydrant tampering can be viewed by utility workers online through the Mi.Host user interface, which is integrated with ESRI GIS mapping software.
