How IoT Sensors in Smart Water Meters Work_ A Technical Breakdown
Water scarcity and inefficient distribution are major challenges in modern infrastructure. Aquacy Pvt. Ltd. addresses these issues with IoT-powered smart water meters, enabling real-time monitoring, leak detection, and optimized water management. In this blog, we’ll explore how Aquacy’s smart water meters solutions, their key technological features, and the benefits they bring to utilities, industries, and consumers.
1. IoT Connectivity: Real-Time Data Transmission
Smart meters integrate multiple IoT communication protocols for seamless data transfer:
- LoRaWAN -Long-range, low-power networks ideal for city-wide AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure).
- Automated Meter Reading (AMR): Wirelessly collect data from meters either in walk-by or drive-by mode
- NFC: Allows on-site readings via mobile devices for field technicians.
This multi-protocol support ensures compatibility with existing SCADA and billing systems while future-proofing investments.
