Reliable remote water meter reading without replacing existing meters
ACRIOS converters modernise your infrastructure. Secure, efficient, and free of vendor lock-in.
Manual “walk-by” readings are costly and error-prone. Many meters are installed in hard-to-reach pits, while demand for transparent and accurate data is growing. With ACRIOS converters, you can keep your existing meters and gain reliable remote readings automatically and securely.
Challenges for water utilities
High cost of manual readings
Difficult access to pits and shafts
Errors and delays in manual data collection
Increasing demand for near real-time monitoring and leak detection
Adding remote reading capabilities even in locations where replacing existing meters with smart water meters is not justified.
Eliminating the need to install a LoRaWAN gateway for a small number of meters where a bus connection is sufficient.
Our solution
ACRIOS retrofit converters connect to existing water meters (M-Bus, wM-Bus, Modbus, pulse outputs) and transmit data via NB-IoT or LoRaWAN directly into your systems.
Converters support 20+ meter manufacturers, up to 240 meters per unit, and feature quick installation.
Units are IP67-rated, last up to 10 years on battery, and are developed and manufactured in the Czech Republic.

Testimonials
We implemented ACRIOS bridges in standard water utility operations, integrating them with eMR Fusion 2. The readings are reliable, NB-IoT transfer is stable, and the application clearly displays flow, temperature, and battery status. The solution is stable and we plan further rollouts.
