DUTS MARKET STATUS

Current AMR systems are mostly designed for :

• One way communications (meter reading mainly)

• Proprietary systems with limited possibilities for external and standard interfaces

Current AMR systems have difficulties to deal with:

• More complete exchanges (commands / remote setup)

• Multiple on field devices with using different protocols

• Remote control on water wastages

DUTS MARKET TRENDS

Hydrelis has opened the way for more efficient devices with local intelligence based on flow / consumption or quality of water

These require bi-directionnal remote control communication systems for:

• Data collection (meter readings)

• Event-driven alarm (water leakage, quality)

• Remote commands (open/close)

• Remote configuration (Setup / options)

This concept can be extended to other devices
