The functionality of modern water meters allows you to significantly expand the volume of measured data and provide users with something more than just accounting for water consumption.

Accounting for water consumption, at first glance, an elementary task whose solution is to install meters and monthly readings from them. The market for metering devices is represented by a huge number of domestic and imported meters, the bulk of which are tachometric meters with a drum counter. The readings of such devices are usually carried out manually, at the end of the reporting period.

The functionality of modern water meters allows you to significantly expand the volume of measured data and provide users with something more than just accounting for water consumption. The intelligent alarm system from the meter allows you to quickly and efficiently detect:

Water leaks through faulty or unclosed water fittings;

Rupture of pipelines or other malfunctions, such as attempted outside interference or reverse;

Monitor ambient and water temperatures, which reduces the risk of damage to pipelines due to defrosting.

These data limit the loss of water, as well as any collateral damage. In addition, select the target volume value, maximum and minimum flow rates. Integrated communication systems for safe and easy remote reading using protocols:

M-Bus;

LoRa;

Sigfox.

You can forget about taking the meter readings manually and approximate calculations. Continuous consumption control can significantly reduce costs through proactive operational action. A unique feature of meters with Sigfox or NB-IoT is that the infrastructure used to remotely read data is already deployed, operated and maintained by a network provider.

Modern meters should be an interesting solution for utilities seeking to make intelligent accounting the basis of their strategy, based on the needs of society and the global goal of creating smart cities.
