Outsourcing meter shop services has become a trend nationwide. The Carolinas are no different and the largest meter shop in the area is Austin International’s York, South Carolina facility. Austin’s Meter Shop employs more than 150 people and utilizes 36 test boards.

Austin’s shop is outfitting meters with AMR (Automated Meter Reading) modules manufactured by Itron, TWACS, and DCSI among other brands. The modules are responsible for reducing the time it takes to read customers’ meters, reducing costs for the utility. The AMR modules transmit signals to a remote device. The transmissions give account information and energy consumption data.

Just as utilities are looking to streamline business by outsourcing, Austin’s meter shop has streamlined its production by increasing efficiency. The level of production in the York Meter Shop now is three times what it was a year ago. The addition of new testing equipment and the addition of a third shift have helped Austin to handle the influx of meter shop business.

Beyond ERT installations, the Austin Meter Shop also provides as-found testing, meter refurbishment, meter testing and meter retirement. Call for information or visit our website at www.electricalconnector.com to see all of the great opportunities Austin International, Inc. can offer your company.
