Pulse water meters are common in water utility networks, but their data often remains on the mechanical register. Learn how existing pulse water meters can be connected to remote reading systems using a pulse converter with display, without replacing the meters.

ACRIOS Systems and Quectel Wireless Solutions have formed a strategic partnership to support SME manufacturers in adopting modern Linux/Android smart modules. The joint communication outlines the scope and technical goals of the cooperation.

External development helps organisations accelerate project delivery and reduce fixed costs. This article explores when outsourcing truly makes sense, what to consider when selecting a partner, and how to structure collaboration that delivers lasting internal peace.

Digitalisation of metering is becoming a strategic priority for utilities. Experience from a project with 10,000 wM-Bus concentrators and 850,000 meters shows that success depends less on technology itself and more on change management, coordination, and structured planning.

Digitalisation brings many ways to read water meters remotely, from bus networks to direct LoRaWAN and NB-IoT communication. Learn how to choose the right approach for your utility based on existing meters, coverage conditions, and investment strategy.

An open data interface means freedom and independence when working with data. Beyond storing and visualising, it enables export, reporting, automation and smooth integration with other systems. The result is greater flexibility, lower vendor lock-in and sustainable data management.

How often should you measure energy and water consumption? Fifteen-minute meter reading frequency supports detailed analysis and real-time optimisation, while daily data extend battery life and simplify reporting. Learn about the benefits, trade-offs, and use cases from practice.

Many IoT deployments fail when each new customer request requires a firmware change. Scripting solves that by separating customer logic from core functions, it enables faster updates, long-term maintenance, and secure control over unique features.

Get your gas meter data online in minutes with the ACR-EX datalogger and its direct Datacake integration. This reliable NB-IoT solution provides live readings, alerts, and a ready-to-use dashboard. All without the need to develop or maintain your own backend infrastructure.
