Product Introduction: TOYOKEIKI’s smart water meter

November 2, 2020

TOYOKEIKI Smart Water Meter (Currently available only in Japan)

The mechanism is that connecting an IoT-R to the 8-bit electronic water meter and using LTE network, allows to acquire water meter data such as meter readings remotely.

Hourly data transmission and two-way communication with the data center are possible.

Features

• Gateway is not required. Once IoT-R is installed, it can communicate directly with the base station.
• Two-way communication is possible without depending on user's communication lines.
• Since IoT-R is battery-powered, there is no restrictions on where it can be installed.
• Flat rate for communication fee.

Benefits on Utilization

Labor saving and efficiency improvement by automatic meter reading(AMR)

AMR can solve the difficulties of meter reading, such as office buildings, tenants, security apartments, snowy areas, and places where it is difficult to open the meter box.

Identify Underground Infiltration and Inflow(I&I)

AMR will reduce the workload for investigation of I&I and its measures, when meter reading is not possible during winter in snowy mountainous areas etc.

Early Leak Detection

It allows for early detection of water leakages in residences, vacant buildings, and during cold weather.

For leak detection during disasters

It allows for early detection of water leakages in residences, vacant buildings, and during cold weather.

Effective Use of Water Resources

Water distribution operations having recognized actual water use on specific days and at specific times will lead to more efficient use of water resources.

Optimize pipelines by utilizing the data

By analyzing and utilizing the data, advanced operations such as to improve piping efficiency is possible.

Utilize Load Survey Function

Remote set of the data acquisition interval of the load-survey function is possible.
(Daily/Hourly/Minutely)

Individual Meter Reading

By checking water consumption in water purification and distribution reservoirs at any time, it is useful for adjusting water volume in response to changes in water demand.
It also leads to early detection of problems in water purification and distribution facilities.
