Monitor, Manage and Deliver Smarter Water Solutions
Managing water efficiently is a challenge for organisations of all sizes. Traditional analogue meters are costly to read, prone to errors, slow to detect leaks, and often lead to billing disputes. These limitations increase operational costs, reduce water efficiency, and can undermine trust with residents, tenants, or stakeholders.
Water utilities and councils are under growing pressure to manage water more efficiently and cost-effectively. Traditional water meters, which require manual readings and provide limited visibility, create several challenges for residents, like rising operational costs, limited visibility, water scarcity, including integration gaps – legacy systems making it hard to gain real-time insights and automation.
Protecting your space, ensuring your peace. Clean, safe, secure.
Our Smart Water Metering Solution, powered by the 365mesh IoT platform, transforms how water is monitored, managed, and delivered. By combining certified smart meters, secure low-power networks, and advanced data analytics, it provides automated, real-time readings, rapid leak detection, accurate billing, and detailed usage insights.
Whether you are a council, water utility or property developer, this solution enables proactive, data-driven management, helping reduce water loss, improve operational efficiency, lower costs, and strengthen trust.
Our Approach
Multi-vendor support:
Connects with a wide range of certified smart meters.
Open standards:
LoRaWAN & NB-IoT communications with published data formats.
No lock in:
Freedom to integrate with open platforms & choose devices as needs evolve.
Certified accuracy:
NMI-approved meters ensure compliance and reliability.
Smart Meters
Accurately record water consumption and transmit data automatically. 365mesh works with a wide range of certified smart meters, using open-standard connectivity (LoRaWAN or NB-IoT) to give councils freedom of choice and avoid vendor lock-in.
Connectivity Options
Flexible communications using either LoRaWAN (long-range, low-power for wide-area coverage) or NB-IoT (carrier-grade cellular IoT for high reliability and deep indoor penetration).
SmartCityDeck
Securely collects, stores, and analyses data from thousands of meters at scale.
Dashboards & Alerts
Deliver clear, actionable insights for operators and customers on usage, leaks, and anomalies
Analogue Meters VS Smart Meters
Traditional analogue meters rely on manual processes and provide limited visibility, leading to higher costs, delayed issue detection, and potential inaccuracies. Smart metering replaces this with automated readings and real-time monitoring, enabling earlier detection of leaks and improved operational efficiency.
Key challenges with analogue meters and the benefits of smart metering:
Analogue Meters
| Challenge | Impact |
|---|---|
| Manual Reading | Time-consuming, error-prone, costly. |
| Manual Reading | Leaks go unnoticed, causing loss and complaints |
| Aging Meters | Wear causes inaccurate readings. |
| Consumer Disputes | Infrequent/estimated bills cause mistrust |
| Delayed issue ID | Tampering or abnormal usage found too late |
Smart Meters
| Smart Meter Solution | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Automated remote readings. | Lower costs, safer operations, faster billing. |
| Real-time alerts | Reduced water loss, fewer complaints |
| Digital meters with self-diagnostics. | Accurate billing, revenue assurance |
| Data access via portal/apps | Higher satisfaction, fewer disputes |
| Continuous monitoring detects anomalies early | Proactive management, reduced risks. |
