Digital metering is implemented to achieve a wide range of benefits including identifying leaks, reducing demand on water supplies, automating meter reading, and improving water supply network efficiency. These common benefits may be the primary drivers but there are many other ways that digital metering can deliver additional value. There are many applications of digital metering that can achieve further benefits, many of which do not require any physical equipment or techno

Here we look at some of the biggest ‘digital metering killers’, what causes them, and how to avoid them.

Smart Water Metering and LoRaWAN. A detailed overview of the LoRaWAN wireless technology for digital water metering.

This article is my top 5 predictions for smart water metering in 2019. Much like my predictions article covering 2018, these 2019 prediction

Just like the smartphone revolution of the past decade, smart water meters are now incorporating more advanced sensors and technologies. These advancements bring about greater value and functionality from the new generation of meters and further support the business and uses cases for their deployments. Digital water metering hardware can be placed into two distinct categories: 1) Retro-fit Devices: an electronic device which is attached to an existing mechanical or digital m

New opportunities are being created for digital water metering with the emergence of NB-IoT technology. Read about its features and benefits

Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) is a category of wireless communication technologies. In the past few years new LPWAN technologies have

I’m often asked how smart water metering solutions can utilise existing mechanical meters. Many people assume that because an older meter is a completely mechanical instrument, it cannot be used as part of a modern digital smart water metering solution. These questions come from a variety of people, many of whom are new to the concepts of smart water metering. What these questions ultimately come down to is “How do you turn a mechanical water meter into a smart water meter?”
