Velona™ Automatic Meter Reading (AMR)
Powering the Future of Smart Water Management
Velona™ Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) is transforming how water utilities monitor consumption, optimize operations, and engage with customers. By automating the collection of water meter data, AMR eliminates manual readings, minimizes human error, and delivers real-time visibility into water usage across the network.
For utilities facing rising non-revenue water (NRW), operational inefficiencies, and increasing regulatory pressure, AMR is no longer optional—it is a foundational step toward digital water management and smart city readiness.
What is Velona™ AMR?
Velona™ AMR is CIMCON’s intelligent Automatic Meter Reading system that automatically measures and transmits water consumption data from field-installed ultrasonic meters to a central software platform. Using secure wireless communication technologies such as LoRaWAN and NB-IoT, AMR ensures reliable, periodic data delivery without the need for manual intervention.
AMR enables utilities to:
• Capture accurate consumption data remotely
• Improve billing transparency and revenue assurance
• Monitor usage trends and detect anomalies
• Reduce manpower, time, and operational costs
Why Velona™ – CIMCON’s Flagship Smart Ultrasonic AMR Solution
Velona™ represents the next generation of Automatic Meter Reading—where precision engineering meets intelligent connectivity. Designed by CIMCON Software, Velona combines advanced ultrasonic sensing with IoT-enabled communication to deliver unmatched accuracy, durability, and long-term performance. Unlike conventional mechanical meters, Velona features a no-moving-parts ultrasonic design, eliminating wear, tear, and calibration drift. This ensures consistent accuracy throughout the meter’s lifecycle, even at very low flow rates, making it ideal for residential, commercial, and bulk water metering. With built-in LoRaWAN and NB-IoT connectivity, Velona seamlessly integrates into AMR or AMI ecosystems, securely transmitting consumption data, health diagnostics, and alerts to utility dashboards. Engineered for real-world field conditions, its IP68-rated enclosure, 16-bar pressure resistance, and long-life battery enable reliable operation in harsh, flooded, or remote environments. Velona empowers utilities to reduce non-revenue water, enhance operational efficiency, and build resilient, future-ready water infrastructure.
