Wireless M-Bus (wM-Bus) IoT converter

With the imminent enforcement of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED), the demand for frequent remote energy readings, possibly on a monthly basis, presents a significant challenge for service and utility companies. Managing meters from diverse manufacturers, each with its unique communication protocols, can be a complex task.

To address this, two primary solutions emerge: replacing existing meters with integrated LoRaWAN communication technology or installing stationary units capable of Automated Meter Reading (AMR) to collect and transmit data seamlessly. 

We specialize in designing and producing fixed installation units that excel at the efficient transfer of meter log data over the NB-IoT network to your server. These units support a range of protocols, including:

  • wM-Bus OMS – often used for walk-by readings
  • Apator Metra E-ITN 30 & E-RM 30
  • Sontex Radian protocol
  • Sensus iPERL 433MHz

The device has been designed for swift installation, without the necessity for additional communication infrastructure such as local internet connection. Moreover, its battery power supply operates autonomously, without requiring any local intervention in the premises' electrical network. 

The battery life of up to 10 years positions it as the optimal solution for remote energy readings in residential buildings, guaranteeing adherence to the EED directive.

We support both open and proprietary protocols for maximum installation flexibility - be it wM-Bus OMS, Apator Metra, Sontex Radian or Sensus iPERL

NB-IoT communication in the licensed band ensures the best possible data security and seamless network connectivity wherever you are. .

Battery-powered units allow for quick installation in less than 15 minutes without the need to find the nearest power outlet. We can send the units to you ready for installation

The device can transmit for up to 10 years on a single battery with a reading period of once a week. The battery is user replaceable and included in the package.

Optionally, you can use the REST configuration API to remotely configure units, collect data, parse it and forward it to your server. The tool can be integrated with any NB-IoT provider.

Alternative to the CRS 40 central reading system

The CRS 40 central reading system is used for remote online reading of data transmitted by E-ITN 30 heating cost allocators and E-RM 30 radio modules for water meters from Apator Metra.

Our solution can be used as an alternative to the CRS 40 system with the difference in battery power and NB-IoT communication. There is no need to find a suitable installation location with regard to power supply availability or ethernet connection.

Easy installation without any configuration on-site

According to the 2021 population count, there are about 4 480 139 appartments. It's important to have a solution that is installed as quickly as possible - no on-site configuration, no power connections, no Ethernet cables, etc. Every minute saved is equivalent to almost 5 000 hours*!

We work with our installation partners to find and test ways to achieve the greatest savings in time, energy, and money - from installation by the landlord in a mailing model, to 100% remote configuration over NB-IoT and to models requiring absolutely no configuration using HW-level filtering.

Sontex Supercom remote meter readings

As part of the 433 MHz product version, we also support remote readings of Sontex Supercom meters using two-way communication Sontex Radian protocol. The solution is a viable alternative to the Superlink C unit, that can be used where IP67 protection is required for outdoor installation.

REST API Backend - Device management software

The backend serves as a communication bridge between ACRIOS devices and the NB-IoT network provider. The tool allows you to manage endpoint devices and their configuration, import installations, parse received data, and forward it to your server.

The backend is a great solution for a quick proof of concept installation to test the entire solution before deciding what to integrate within your internal system or what configuration is needed.

As part of the proof of concept installation, we will take care of connectivity, configuration, data parsing and data forwarding to your server.
