Conventional Water Meters

Accuracy -- LowIt uses Mechanical counter.

Cannot measure low starting flow-- friction

Flow of air measured

Reverse flow can damage the counter

Control -- NIL

Communications -- Not available

Theft Detection -- Poor & Ineffective

Data Collection -- Fully Manual

Customer satisfaction -- Very Low

Micro Sync Meters

Ability to talk directly to Server

A collection of hardware and software for meter

management and control kept at the providers location

Exposes Meter core data to external system via API

Introducing Micro Sync– Water Meter

Electronic water meter with built in intelligence.

No More Manual Intervention for data collection- Complete Automation

Capable of sending/receiving Data- Built in communication facility

Detects flow of air but not measured- Improved Accuracy

User friendly interface - LCD Display

Electronic parts totally isolated from water flow -- magnetic coupled

Easy installation-Plug and Play

Features

Built in intelligence records consumption with date & time. Case Tampering recorded with date & time

and flagged at the server. History of last 72 readings with date & time Maintain real time clock thereby ensuring no data loss. Direct one to one communication between meter and

server. Low Operational cost No more Manual intervention Air flow not measured thereby increasing customer

satisfaction Faster installation – Does not require infrastructure

Additional Feature

Integration of AMR solution on existing Bulk Meters

• Existing Bulk Water meters which are magnetic coupled are converted into AMR meters.•The system is charged either directly by power or in areas where there are power cuts the system is provided with Solar panels for charging batteries.• The provider need not invest in the meter cost. This will help the provider reduce the overall cost of implementation. • These Bulk Meters will also provide flow rate data ( in LPM ) for better efficiency. • Any undue pressure variation or any breakage in the pipeline is reported to the maintenance department by the server by detecting any variation in the flow rate. •Power on / off status reported by the meters on the server. This helps the provider regulate the pumping based on power availability

Our Milestones

Completed Field trials with Tamil Nadu Water and Drainage Board in Sivagangai District.

Presently executing project at Devakottai in Tamil Nadu of converting bulk water meters into AMR Meters.

In the process of putting field trial with Hubli Jal Board.
