Dear Experts,
I have an brief idea about SMART metering like different technologies are involved in it e.g. SAP NetWeaver, IDOCs, Workflows, Mobile technology, Radio/PLC, GPRS, MDUS etc.
Can anybody help me in knowing the number of technologies involved in SMART metering to map it with SAP-ISU. Also would like to know what skills one/ team should have to meet the SMART Metering requirements.
Thanks & Regards

SachinK,
if you look in this BPX site and search for "Advanced Metering Infrastructure, SAP AMI, Integration for Utilities"
you might get some information, that you are asking for?
Hope this helps,
Tom

Hey Tom,
Good Day.
I tried searching the same as well, but was no success, looking for some more information still.
Thanks a ton.
Best Regards

Sachin,
I do not believe SAP@AMI will bring a ton of presentations.
some MDM vendors are Itron, eMeter and OSIsoft. They display very specifically, what you are asking for.
Silversprings for example is a meter and headend vendor.
Even youtube has presentations of these vendors.
Depending on your requirements, that might be some valid starting points to surf.

Sachin:
At least some documentation is available [here in RKT|https://service.sap.com/rkt]. Look in SaP for Utilities, then under ERP 6.0 and then toward the bottom is AMI.
Also, [here in the enhancement pack info|https://service.sap.com/erp-ehp]. Navigate via the bar on left to Industries > utilities then find presentation and release notes for ISU_AMI_1.
there is also a planned education course IUT222 specifically for AMI, and i would expect some cookbook later.
regards,
bill.
