How it works

The function of the Meter Bypass application is to detect meter bypass theft conditions. The Meter Bypass application is able to identify ongoing bypasses as well as new ones.

1. Synthesis. Per-second data sampling of various features aggregated at the meter and sent to the back office.

2. Inference. A machine learning model uses DI data to make scored recommendations daily.

3. Action. The utility revenue assurance team then downloads recommendations through manual or automated methods.
