SensoMet - Smart Water Metering System

With Hydrologic MGP Systems’ water metering (SensoMet), end users have been successful in measuring, monitoring, and managing water consumption through a system of smart water meters that are remotely connected over a wireless network to a platform.

SensoMet water meters, at the core of the operations, are devices that can accurately and automatically measure and transmit real-time statistics of water usage, water leakages, and tamper alerts over a network. The key operative difference between SensoMet from Hydrologic MGP water meters and traditional water meters is that SensoMet meters are equipped with electronic computing units, which facilitates relaying of collected data to the platform.

The platform, a key component of SensoMet water metering, refers to a cloud-based infrastructure composed of servers and software, which are web-based and mobile-based. The platform is connected to the smart water meters over a cellular network serving to collect and process data. The processing of data includes visualization of parameters collected by smart water meters such as water consumption and processed billing data as well as monitoring of the water distribution network, remote control of smart water meters.

Benefits of SensoMet water metering

Since smart water meters are remotely connected to the platform and can provide water consumption data in real-time, they reduce mileage and transport expenses that would have been incurred by sending out meter readers to manually perform meter readings. This has significant cost implications on water utility companies.

Hydrologic MGP Systems’ smart water metering enables Water Utility Companies to effectively account for every drop of water produced versus what has been consumed and what has been lost. This is pivotal to bringing non-revenue water to a minimum.

Our smart water metering avails real-time billing data which fosters transparency and accuracy in billing. Our Solution also enables features such as customer portals and mobile applications which foster transparency and enable consumers to track their water consumption.

The ability of our smart water meters to communicate means information about leakages or meters going offline can be picked up and resolved quicker. Our platform also allows leveraging on technologies such as data science and artificial intelligence thus unlocking preventive maintenance.

The SensoMet platform is able to leverage on data science and artificial intelligence to get insights into data collected by smart water meters.

Our smart water meters have anti-tampering features which trigger alarms and actions like locking the meter if there is an attempt to tamper with the meter.

Most Countries where our solution has been used require borehole owners to remit data as regards their abstraction to water regulatory bodies. Our smart water metering allows compliance to this requirement with ease.

How SensoMet works

The SensoMet smart Water Metering solution involves installation and configuration of a smart water meter at the client’s premises. The smart water meter is embedded with a local SIM card to enable communication to the platform via the network’s extensive countrywide GSM (2g/3g/4g and NBIOT- narrow band IOT) coverage.

Our smart water installation is pretty much similar to the installation of a regular water meter which is usually done in the meter box or manhole depending on the client’s setup. Once installed and powered, the smart water meter will be able to relay the water parameters it is measuring to the platform. The client will have an account created on the platform and the necessary credentials will be shared with him/her to see the data emanating from the smart water meters.
