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.
