Business/Technical Challenges
PASTPAST
Conventional Water Meters
Accuracy -- LowIt 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

Micro Sync Meters
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

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

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

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

Our Milestones
Completed Field trials with Tamil Nadu Water and Drainage Board in Sivagangai District.
Presently executing project at Devakottai in Tamil Nadu of converting bulk water meters into AMR Meters.
In the process of putting field trial with Hubli Jal Board.
Presentation and demonstration of the system with various Water Authorities outside India
