Automatic Meter Reading
Overview
Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) enables water utilities to collect water consumption data automatically without manual meter reading. By digitizing and transmitting meter data remotely, AMR improves billing accuracy, reduces operational effort, and enhances visibility into water usage across the distribution network.
AMR
AMR is a system that measures water consumption and periodically transmits readings to a central platform using wireless communication such as LoRaWAN or NB-IoT. It eliminates manual data collection while ensuring consistent, reliable, and accurate meter readings for utility operations.
Why Velona™ – CIMCON’s AMR
Velona™ is where water meets intelligence. Built on CIMCON’s legacy of engineering excellence, Velona combines ultrasonic sensing and IoT connectivity to deliver precision without compromise. Its no-moving-parts design eliminates mechanical wear, drift, and maintenance while ensuring long-term accuracy even at very low flow rates. With integrated LoRaWAN and NB-IoT communication, Velona seamlessly connects to AMR or AMI networks, transmitting usage data, diagnostics, and alerts. Designed for real-world conditions, its IP68-rated, 16-bar pressure-resistant body and long-life battery enable reliable operation in harsh and remote environments, helping utilities reduce non-revenue water and build smarter, more resilient water systems.
