Entorno de Medición Inteligente (EMI) offers technological solutions for the remote reading of water and energy meters and remote control for irrigation systems. The company provides services to property managers, maintenance companies, municipalities, and irrigator communities. Its core offering, the EMI Telegestión virtual office, is a customizable and intuitive platform that automates the work involved in the individualization and settlement of shared costs for central heating, domestic hot water, and cold water. EMI designs and manufactures its own remote reading equipment for water, gas, and electricity meters, as well as water control systems for irrigation. The company emphasizes the use of open communication protocols like Open Metering System (OMS), which allows clients the freedom to switch providers without changing their reading equipment. This strategy contrasts with companies that use proprietary communication protocols, locking clients into their services. Key features of their service include automatic measurement of water consumption, control of drinking water supply tanks, leak detection, and alerts for meter tampering. Additionally, the platform provides a web portal for consumers to monitor their usage and can generate bank files for billing. In November 2022, EMI was acquired by Elliot Cloud, a technology company focused on the intelligent management of infrastructures. This acquisition strengthened Elliot Cloud’s ability to apply technology to the management of infrastructures in the energy, water resources, industry, and smart cities sectors. The integration allows the combined entity to offer end-to-end services by pairing its own Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) deployments with its cloud platform for data acquisition and AI-based analysis.
