Utility consumption monitoring for building management teams

Compatible water and electricity meters connect by wire to battery-powered loggers. NB-IoT carries their records to software for consumption reporting, while selected water-flow rules flag leakage or pipe breakage.

About Utility consumption monitoring for building management teams

Collecting readings from existing utility meters gives building staff a shared record of resource use between manual checks. Fuelics supplies battery-powered NB-IoT loggers for compatible water and electricity meters with pulse or M-Bus ECO outputs. The service combines these field inputs with consumption reporting in a cloud or on-premises deployment.

The logger connects by wire to the selected meters and records their outputs before transmitting over NB-IoT. The standard water logger arrangement supports two compatible inputs of the same type, with a four-meter arrangement available on request. Local storage retains measurements, and NFC supports commissioning, data retrieval and selected configuration tasks. Operating parameters and reporting frequency are set for the chosen deployment, with battery and network status included in device notifications.

Water-flow processing can flag leakage, reverse flow or pipe-breakage conditions for staff to investigate. Pulse arrangements also identify selected counter-reset or cable-cut events. Software brings the transmitted records into consumption reports, and API integration allows another platform to receive the data. Installation combines compatible meter outputs, the appropriate logger arrangement, an NB-IoT service and the chosen reporting system. Teams use the records and notifications to compare resource use and plan the next meter or pipe check.

How it works

Sense
Collect pulse or M-Bus ECO outputs from compatible meters.
Connect
Transmit stored meter records over the NB-IoT network.
Analyze
Compare consumption patterns and selected water-flow rules.
Act
Report utility use and notify staff of flagged flow events.

Questions and answers

What electrical interface must an existing meter provide?

The logger connects to compatible pulse or M-Bus ECO outputs. The selected input arrangement must match the meters and their wiring.

How many meter inputs does the water logger arrangement support?

The standard arrangement supports two compatible inputs of the same type. A four-meter arrangement is available on request, so the required input mix must be specified.

What does NFC do during commissioning?

NFC supports logger data retrieval, configuration of selected sensor parameters and triggering an NB-IoT connection for the device.

Which additional warnings apply to pulse-connected water meters?

The pulse arrangement can flag a counter reset or cable cut, alongside the selected water-flow conditions that staff investigate.
