As the drive for more efficient, compliant, and sustainable water systems grows, Smarter Technologies Group is leading the way with end-to-end IoT solutions built for the most challenging environments. Our technologies give utilities, facilities managers, and estate teams the real-time visibility and control needed to manage water remotely, safely and efficiently.
At the core of this capability is Orion, The Real-Time Data Network™ – our proprietary, low-frequency, low-power network designed for hard-to-reach assets. Orion provides secure, resilient, wireless connectivity with deep in-building and underground penetration, ensuring continuous data flow from even the most challenging locations. Live data is captured and visualised in SmarterView, our cloud-based dashboard, which provides clear, centralised insight for monitoring, analysis, instant alerts, and compliance reporting. APIs are also available, allowing data from Orion to be integrated seamlessly with existing asset management software.
Our portfolio of smart water management products is designed to meet the growing need for accurate data, proactive control, and cost efficiency:
- Smart Meters (AMI): Get real-time accurate data automatically from your meters with two-way communications via the Orion network, removing the need for manual meter readings and reducing human error. SmarterView provides remote access to live usage data, enabling automated billing, faster detection of leaks, unusual consumption patterns alerting, and enhancing opportunities for efficiency improvements. By delivering accurate, continuous data, support cost savings, billing accuracy, simplified reporting, and can help organisations meet sustainability and compliance goals.
- Automated Meter Readers (AMRs): Monitor water consumption data in near real time with retro-fitted AMRs. An AMR device attaches to existing meters and automatically transmits readings via the Orion network, removing the need for manual meter readings and reducing human error. SmarterView provides remote access to live usage data, enabling faster detection of leaks, unusual consumption patterns, and opportunities for efficiency improvements. By delivering accurate, continuous data, AMRs support cost savings, billing accuracy, simplified reporting, and can help organisations meet sustainability and compliance goals.
- Pipe Temperature and Leak Detection: Maintain HSE-compliant water temperatures and detect issues before they escalate.
- Remote Flow Control: Instantly isolate or restore water supplies via our Orion remote stopcock.
- Automated Flushing Units: Schedule and control periodic flushing to prevent stagnation and reduce Legionella risk.
These solutions are already delivering results across large and complex facilities. At HMNB Portsmouth, temperature sensors and automated flushing units have enabled continuous compliance, improved safety, and significant savings in manual testing and maintenance effort.
Benefits at a Glance:
- Real-time data and visibility across all water system components
- Evidence compliance and Legionella control
- Reduced manual intervention and operational costs
- Simple, non-invasive installation and retrofit options
- Reliable connectivity, even in hard-to-reach areas
With Orion and SmarterView, Smarter Technologies is helping organisations move from manual monitoring to intelligent, data-led management, enhancing safety, sustainability, and operational efficiency.
