Summary
Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), automated meter reading (AMR), and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) are three technologies used for the wireless monitoring and control of remote systems. Primarily used in oil and gas pipelines, waste water treatment, and oil and electric utilities, these technologies allow users to centrally monitor and control the flow of resources to reduce environmental risks and efficiently manage operations.
