Revolutionizing Meter Testing Performance Analytics with M3-based Artificial Intelligence

OCALA, Fla., Feb. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MARS Company, a leading innovator in flow measurement and water meter testing solutions, is thrilled to announce the immediate commercial availability of Version 6 of the MARS Meter Management (M3) Enterprise Software Suite, which is integrated with M3-based artificial intelligence. This revolutionary upgrade integrates local machine learning artificial intelligence to set a new standard in utility operations, offering unparalleled advancements through real-time insights and actionable recommendations.

Version 6 enhances tracking and customization with a superior data dashboard, seamless MARS Mobile DataSync^TM, advanced data visualization, and powerful search capabilities with MARS PowerQuery^TM. It includes a unique savings model to estimate revenue recovery and operational efficiency savings, while MARS MeterTrack^TM features simplify compliance tracking and auditing. Improved reporting tools like MARS PowerQuery^TM ensure easy data extraction.

Four groundbreaking features are at the forefront of M3 Version 6:

• •  MARS Revenue Recovery & Operational Savings Model & Calculator (MARS Savings Model^TM)- a unique savings model and calculator designed to estimate the revenue recovery and operational efficiency savings in dollars as a direct result of meter testing. It is essential to determine estimates that identify the quantifiable savings associated with testing to demonstrate the significant financial benefits of the testing process. 
• •  MARS PowerQuery^TM - empowers users with a superior data dashboard that significantly improves tracking capabilities. Offering advanced data visualization and powerful search query insights, MARS PowerQuery^TM delivers unprecedented search features to easily access meter test results.
• •  MARS MeterTrack^TM - simplifies compliance tracking and auditing with enhanced data analysis. Custom meter testing plans, comparative analysis, and optimization tools make auditing more accessible and ensure users can effortlessly maintain compliance with AWWA standards. This feature ensures utility providers can adhere to regulatory requirements while optimizing their operations. Now, as a utility provider, tracking a meter from out of the box through its life in the field has never been easier. The utility can tag each meter over the life of testing for quicker, fact-based data.
• •  MARS Mobile DataSync^TM - a feature that allows seamless data synchronization with VF-10 field testing equipment and test benches, ensuring consistent updates across different platforms.

Building on the foundation of Version 5, M3 Version 6 provides robust reporting and improved compatibility. Tools like MARS PowerQuery™ allow users to easily extract essential information, ensuring smooth data integration and enhancing overall operational efficiency. Additionally, advanced data visualization options enable operators to effectively present results and trends, making it simpler to share insights.

Version 6 includes comprehensive industry compliance and training enhancements that enable users to maintain AWWA standards and earn M6 manual compliance, including C715-22. MARS continues to set the industry standard by offering the only AWWA fully-compliant C715-22 testing solution. These process optimizations provide easy-to-use tools that deliver insights quickly and accurately.
