Remote readout and monitoring system for water meters

Our stationary remote readout and monitoring system for water meters is an advanced tool for managing the city's water supply network.

Discover one of the most modern intelligent water management platforms on the market. Our solution provides remote, automatic and secure access to data from water meters, without the need to visit the property. It also offers new security standards.

A system that will seal your network

We provide convenient and safe access to data from every meter operating within the water supply network. Our solution allows for daily control of actual water consumption, fast leak detection and failure prediction. The system also alerts you to any unlawful interference with the meter.

Save time and optimize your operations

Remote, automatic meter readouts will save time spent on manual collection readouts on the property and avoid possible errors. It is a convenient and safe solution for both water supply companies and consumers.

Failure prevention

The AIUT system provides monitoring of the condition of water supply infrastructure practically in real time. This reduces network depreciation costs by adjusting the pressure in the pipeline. Moreover, it gives the possibility to predict failures and prevent them.

Automatic readouts

The system works as a stationary solution, where data from the meters is received automatically every day, at a certain frequency.

Free integration into external systems

The system consists of: APULSE-W radio overlay working independently in IoT (LPWAN) technology or in configuration with OKO 55x5 concentrator and IMR application for storing, analyzing and visualizing readout data. Thanks to the open architecture, the data collected in the application can be transferred to billing, SCADA, GIS and ERP systems.

The system allows for daily remote and automatic readouts of any water meter, with an accuracy to the day and hour, as well as unattended invoicing. It is a convenient and safe business solution, both for the company providing water and its customers.

Our solution is compatible with a wide range of water meters from leading suppliers and ready for installation on existing or new water meters. This means no additional costs associated with the unplanned replacement of existing infrastructure within a given water supply network.

Our solutions have been working for years for AIUT customers in Poland and worldwide. The devices manufactured by us are certified and meet the highest safety standards.

The advantages of the system:

  • current network monitoring
  • remote and automatic readouts
  • possible electronic customer service
  • network failure limitation
  • leaks detection
  • detection of attempts to interfere with the meter
  • cooperation with water meters of leading manufacturers
  • effective readout in water meter wells
  • possibility of stationary and/or walk-by/drive-by
  • simple integration with the billing system

Case study

The largest implementation of an intelligent IoT platform for remote readouts and monitoring of water meters in Poland, based on LoRa technology

The challenge

An implementation of a wireless-communication-based ecosystem that would bring some notable benefits. The expectations were: automatic, remote readouts of the current status of all water meters in Miejskie Przedsiębiorstwo Wodociągów i Kanalizacji in Piekary Śląskie network (daily, in hourly intervals), real-time monitoring of water infrastructure, automation of management processes, electronic service of individual and business clients, e-settlements.

Our solution: Implementation of the intelligent AIUT Smart City IoT platform with a system for remote readouts from water meters along with monitoring and management of the municipal water supply network.

AIUT Smart City IoT (Internet of Things) is the first intelligent platform in Poland implemented on a large, urban scale, providing (among others) remote, automatic readings of the current status of water meters based on wireless, low-cost LoRa transmission technology.

The implementation was carried out in a turn-key model. The implemented AIUT devices and systems are responsible for remote, wireless monitoring of nearly 6,500 water meters in the company's network, ensuring hourly readouts and monitoring of the infrastructure condition, virtually in real-time. Among others, our solution allows for quick detection of leaks and failure prediction. The system also alerts for unauthorized interference with the meter and the device themselves. As part of the implementation, we also provided comprehensive support in the construction of the municipal, energy-saving LoRa radio communication network.

Business benefits:

  • Remote, automatic data acquisition
  • Elimination of ineffective in-person readouts
  • Constant hourly consumption monitoring
  • Increased operational efficiency of the company
  • Reduction of operational losses and costs
  • Significant reduction in water loss
  • Fast leak detection
  • Effective water purchase planning
  • Network failure reduction
  • Alerts about illegal tampering with the meter
  • Network pressure management optimization
  • Data safety
  • Convenient electronic customer service (e-Service)
  • Automation of invoicing and payment processes
