Reliable remote water meter reading without replacing existing meters
ACRIOS converters modernise your infrastructure. Secure, efficient, and free of vendor lock-in.
Manual “walk-by” readings are costly and error-prone. Many meters are installed in hard-to-reach pits, while demand for transparent and accurate data is growing. With ACRIOS converters, you can keep your existing meters and gain reliable remote readings automatically and securely.
Challenges for water utilities
Our solution
ACRIOS converters enable you to retain your current meters while adding secure, dependable remote data collection.
Retrofit converters connect to your existing water meters (M-Bus, wM-Bus, Modbus, pulse outputs) and transmit data via NB-IoT or LoRaWAN directly into your systems.
Converters support 20+ meter manufacturers, up to 240 meters per unit, and feature quick installation.
Units are IP67-rated, last up to 10 years on battery, and are developed and manufactured in the Czech Republic.
Bring your infrastructure up to date. Securely, efficiently, and without being tied to a single vendor.
