Itron, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITRI) announced the launch of IEE Cloud AI, a cloud-based, AI-enabled evolution of its Itron Enterprise Edition (IEE) Meter Data Management system, according to a company press release.

The product is built on a cloud architecture and integrated with Itron's Intelligent Edge Operating System (IEOS), which the company says provides a common data foundation across electricity, gas and water operations. The solution is designed to give utilities access to meter data management, AI-enabled workflows and near real-time data processing from a single platform.

IEE Cloud AI is intended to support utility use cases including outage insights, grid visibility, anomaly detection, revenue assurance, load management and forecasting. Itron says the platform reduces the need for multiple software integrations by consolidating meter, grid edge, analytics and application data through IEOS.

The solution will be available through Itron's preferred cloud service providers, and utilities can also opt for Itron Managed Services, under which Itron handles platform maintenance, security updates and ongoing enhancements on the utility's behalf.

"Utilities are facing rapid data growth, rising regulatory expectations and increasing operational complexity, yet the need for trusted meter data remains nonnegotiable," said Don Reeves, senior vice president of Outcomes at Itron. "IEE Cloud AI brings together Itron's proven meter data management capabilities, cloud-native scalability and AI-enabled workflows to help utilities move faster, reduce complexity and turn trusted operational data into actionable intelligence."

IEE Cloud AI is scheduled for global availability in January 2027, supporting cloud-hosted, customer-hosted and other deployment configurations.
