Water meter monitoring for municipal utility teams

Regular consumption readings give a municipal utility a common record for billing preparation and network checks. Emitel combines compatible meters or reading attachments with a LoRaWAN network and data-processing applications. Utility teams receive remotely collected readings and compare the monitored points when investigating a change in recorded consumption.

Electronic flow meters provide readings directly, while suitable mechanical meters use fitted remote-reading modules. The attachment and mounting arrangement match the meter model. Battery-powered wireless modules send measurements over the low-power radio network to base stations, which supply the collection servers. Software analyses and archives the returned data, then presents reports or charts and shares records with connected billing systems. The installation brings the physical meter identities together with their network and software records.

Comparing readings from several points helps staff identify anomalies that warrant investigation, including patterns associated with possible leakage or unusual abstraction. Operators can review the relevant consumption histories and organise a field check rather than visiting every meter for each reading cycle. The service includes network design, device installation, integration and maintenance. A municipal deployment in Wrocław uses fitted radio modules on existing meters, extending the remotely read measurement network across the city.
