Utilities worldwide are embracing digital transformation—but most installed meters remain mechanical. Replacing all of them is expensive and disruptive . Pulse readers provide a practical solution .
How pulse readers work:
Mechanical meters often feature a pulse output emitting an electrical signal for each measured unit. Pulse readers capture these signals, store the counts , and transmit the data via long-range, low-power wireless networks .
Key advantages:
-
Non-intrusive upgrade: Attach the reader without replacing the meter body
-
Long-distance communication: Compatible with NB-IoT and LoRaWAN networks
-
Extended battery life: Typically 8–10 years of autonomous operation
-
Data-driven insights: Track usage trends, detect leaks, and optimize network efficiency
The bigger picture:
Pulse readers do more than automate readings—they unlock smarter water and energy management . By making legacy systems measurable, utilities can leverage analytics, conserve resources , and plan sustainable infrastructure.
