Making Interoperability Real: Open Standards, Meter Choice, and AMI Resilience

Utilities face growing pressure to build resilient, flexible AMI systems amid supply chain risk, energy transition demands, and workforce constraints. This session explores how open standards—specifically DLMS/COSEM GCPs—enable real, production ready interoperable and consistent meter to cash operations across multi vendor environments. Attendees will learn how meter choice and diversity reduce risk, avoid vendor lock in, and maximize AMI investments, and how Itron’s vendor agnostic Meter Integration Service turns standards into scalable, real world outcomes.
