Mueller Systems is a manufacturer and distributor of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and automatic meter reading (AMR) technology, as well as residential, commercial and fire-line meters and related products. It is a subsidiary of Mueller Water Products. Founded as Hawes and Hersey Company in 1859, Mueller Systems is the oldest manufacturer of water meters in the United States.
Mueller Systems was founded in 1859 as Hawes and Hersey Company in Boston, Massachusetts and was a manufacturer of bolts, rotary pumps, and other machinery. In 1885, the company received a patent on the rotary displacement meter and began manufacturing water meters under the name Hersey Meter Company, offering its first rotary and disc meters for sale in 1886.
In 1959, Hersey Meters merged with Sparling Meter Company and began operating as Hersey-Sparling Meter Company. The company operated under this name until 1988, when it was placed under the Mueller Water Products subsidiary, Mueller Co. and re-assumed the name Hersey Meters. Following the Mueller Water Products' acquisition of Arkion Systems in 2009, Hersey was combined with Arkion and began operating as Mueller Systems in 2010, to reflect the broader range of utility management products offered by the combined entity. However, Hersey Meters remains Mueller Systems' brand for water meters.
mobileRDM™ is Mueller Systems’ simple handheld application that enables water utilities to remotely connect or disconnect water services from the safety of their vehicles using 2-way radio communication. A field-friendly Android handheld device that is waterproof, dust-proof, snow-proof, drop-proof, and has a long-lasting battery life. It does not require using advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) or automated meter reading (AMR) but can be used on any existing system. Using the mobileRDM application, workers can push a button to receive status information, read the meter, connect or disconnect service and run diagnostics.
Mi.Net—Mueller Infrastructure Network for Utilities— is an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) that automates meter reading and utility billing. It also creates a single data network of meters, distribution sites and control devices using two-way communication. Mi.Net's master data management software, Mi.Host, collects usage data from local data collection modules called Mi.Hubs, which receive usage data via radio frequency transmissions from the Mi.Node transceivers that are attached to each metering unit. Mi.Host then relays the usage data to the local utility department via GPRS or another backhaul method.
