SECURUS/Use Cases/Utility meters

Remote meter reading for water, gas and electricity

Wireless pulse counters read water, gas and electricity meters automatically. SECURUS shows consumption per site and reports unusual continuous consumption at night.

The problem

Why utility meters matter

Meter readings are often taken only once a year. A running cistern or a hidden pipe leak is then only noticed with the bill.

The solution

How it works with SECURUS

  • Record meters automatically via pulse outputs
  • Analyse consumption by hour, day and site
  • Report continuous night-time consumption as a sign of leaks
  • Save on-site meter reading rounds
