▪ Prevent asset failure and reduce downtimes

▪ Anticipate failures and mitigate risk,
but it is uncertain and time
consuming
▪ Protect staff
▪ Optimize maintenance scheduling
▪ Reduce maintenance costs

▪ React when failures happen

▪ No downtime prevention
▪ Frequent replacement of equipment
▪ Expensive urgent maintenance (Less

Validation, Estimation and Editing (VEE)

● One of the most important aspects of a meter data management system is

the ability to support data integrity

● MDM has the perspective to look both at past and future data, as well as
meter profiles and load curves, to both verify that a reading “makes sense”
and to allow manual or pre-defined changes to the data if it does not

44
Sample Titanium MDM VEE Rules
Validation Rules: Estimation Rules:
● Zero consumption ● Linear Interpolation
● Negative Value Check ● Spline Estimation
● Missing Interval Count ● Estimation based on Standard Curves
● Consecutive Zero Consumption ● Estimation based on the maximum
power
● Non negative incremental reads
● Estimation based on consumption of
● Daily Consumption Check similar and historical period
● Spike Value Check ● Regulatory / Utility Specific
● Sum Check

Titanium AMI/MDM - Reporting Capabilities
1. Supports advanced reporting capabilities & enables analytics to implement more complex
use cases.
2. The reporting capabilities are present on both the user interface and also using external
reporting tools.
3. All information stored in the database can be included in reports for fast decision making
and to help operation.

One of the most important KPI is the reading performance that can be checked directly on the
user interface or send in a report to the relevant actors.
The reporting capabilities are also key part for monitoring the rollout processes providing
executive summaries on the rollout process to help to accomplish the rollout project plan, so all
the relevant services in execution can be properly followed
