Application notes
An Itron smart water meter deployment looked perfect for six weeks - until 12 of 47 meters started reporting implausibly uniform data. A field engineer's $3,200 lesson plus the 3-step physical verification checklist that caught 47 errors in 18 months.
Continue readingA scenario-based guide to choosing between Itron smart water meters, IR thermometers, weighing systems, and Mitutoyo calipers based on your actual measurement problem.
Continue readingA quality compliance manager shares a story about testing Itron Intelis water meters, discovering a calibration defect, and learning the value of professional boundaries—with notes on weighing scales, multimeters, and vision systems.
Continue readingAn administrative buyer explains why the lowest quote for Itron water meters, thermal cameras, and benchtop multimeters is rarely the lowest total cost—and why asking 'what's not included' changes every purchase.
Continue readingBefore you replace an Itron Intelis Wsource ultrasonic water meter or an Itron heat meter, read this diagnostic guide. Bad readings are usually a signal problem, not a meter problem.
Continue readingA quality inspector explains the verification steps behind an Itron water meter delivery, including the Itron Woltex water meter, the 1775 power quality analyzer, and the 233 remote display multimeter.
Continue readingAfter 12 years and 200+ emergency water callouts, a field veteran argues that the Itron smart water meter is a decision-making tool, not just a meter. Lessons from a Starrett micrometer, a CMM, and one thermal imaging camera for iOS apply directly to the Itron app and modern utility workflows.
