Smarter Technologies: Driving Compliance and Efficiency in Water Management

Date published:
February 4, 2026

As organisations manage increasingly complex water systems,accurate metering and robust monitoring have become essential, providing bothoperational insight and evidence to support regulatory compliance.

Smarter Technologies provides solutions for real-time watermetering and monitoring, giving teams the visibility and control they need tomanage systems efficiently.

Orion, our Real-Time Data Network™, provides the reliableIoT connectivity that powers Smarter Technologies’ smart water meter monitoringsolutions. Orion is our proprietary low‑frequency, low‑power (solar enabled) datanetwork ideal for hard‑to‑reach assets and complex environments. The Orion toWireless M-bus bridge enables us to talk to a multitude existing water metersand devices.

Paired with our cloud‑based platform, SmarterView, itenables continuous visibility of water usage data and system performance,replacing manual reads with reliable, automated data flows. SmarterViewprovides clear, centralised insight for monitoring, analysis, instant alerts,and compliance reporting.

What Real-Time Meter Monitoring Enables

●     Automated, accurate readings: Smart meteringtransmits consumption data wirelessly, reducing manual effort and human error.

●     Leak and anomaly detection: Continuous datastreams make unusual usage patterns visible early, enabling faster response.

●     Remote control: Flow control, automatedflushing, and temperature testing devices can be managed centrally, improvingefficiency and reducing risk.

●     Operational insight: Dashboards and alertsprovide teams with timely, actionable information to make informed decisionsand respond to issues quickly.

●     Compliance and safety: Continuous monitoring andautomated processes reduce human error, minimise risk, and help organisationsstay safe, avoid penalties, and meet their legal obligations.

Smarter Technologies also delivers a fully automatedsolution to Legionella control. Remote Auto-flush units and scheduledtemperature testing removes the need for manual testing, record keeping, andreporting, significantly reducing the costs and operational burden of waterrisk assessment. The system provides real-time insight into hygiene risks viaan online dashboard, accessible from any device at any time.

Smarter Technologies’ smart water solutions combine advancedmetering, real-time monitoring, and automated management to give organisationsactionable insight and full control over water systems. These capabilitiesimprove efficiency, enhance safety, support compliance, and ensure watersystems operate optimally and risks are proactively managed.
