Process Presentation

2. Business/Technical Challenges
Conventional Water Meters
Accuracy -- Low
It uses Mechanical counter.
Cannot measure low starting flow-- friction
Flow of air measured
Reverse flow can damage the counter
Control NIL
Communications -- Not available
Theft Detection -- Poor & Ineffective
Data Collection -- Fully Manual
Customer satisfaction -- Very Low
PAST

4. Introducing “Micro Sync® ” -- Overview
Micro Sync Meters
Micro Sync Server
Meter
Management
System
Comms
Customer System
Billing System
Ability to talk directly to Server
A collection of hardware and software for meter management and control kept at the providers location
Exposes Meter core data to external system via API

5. Introducing Micro Sync– Water Meter
Electronic water meter with built in
intelligence.
No More Manual Intervention for data
collection- Complete Automation
Capable of sending/receiving Data-
Built in communication facility
Detects flow of air but not measured-
Improved Accuracy
User friendly interface - LCD Display
Electronic parts totally isolated from water
flow -- magnetic coupled
Easy installation-Plug and Play

7. Features Built in intelligence records consumption with date & time.
Case Tampering recorded with date & time
and flagged at the server.
History of last 72 readings with date & time
Maintain real time clock thereby ensuring no data loss.
Direct one to one communication between meter and server.
Low Operational cost
No more Manual intervention
Air flow not measured thereby increasing customer satisfaction
Faster installation – Does not require infrastructure changes
Web enabled Services – Online Data availability

Consumption Based

9. Integration of AMR solution on existing Bulk Meters
Additional Feature
Integration of AMR solution on existing Bulk Meters
Existing Bulk Water meters which are magnetic coupled are converted into AMR meters.
The system is charged either directly by power or in areas where there are power cuts the system is provided with Solar panels for charging batteries.
The provider need not invest in the meter cost. This will help the provider reduce the overall cost of implementation.
These Bulk Meters will also provide flow rate data ( in LPM ) for better efficiency.
Any undue pressure variation or any breakage in the pipeline is reported to the maintenance department by the server by detecting any variation in the flow rate.
Power on / off status reported by the meters on the server. This helps the provider regulate the pumping based on power availability
