Product description
The smart retrofit solution for greater control, efficiency, and security in the water network
Water supply networks are facing growing challenges due to increasing water losses, inefficient pressure regulation, and aging infrastructure. The SmartEAR®+ ePFis the smart retrofit solution for greater control, efficiency, and safety in the water network. It offers the perfect solution for digitizing existing systems and ensures that utility companies maintain control over their networks.
Thanks to its simple installation and energy-efficient operation, the SmartEAR®+ ePF can connect existing water meters and pressure sensors with state-of-the-art IoT technology. The collected data is transmitted wirelessly and stored in the POSEYEDON® Cloud, enabling operators to make informed decisions based on accurate measurements.
- Pressure monitoring on pressure reducing valves (PRVs): Measurement of pressure levels at inlets and outlets to monitor the operation of PRVs and detect pressure fluctuations.
- Retrofitting mechanical water meters: Digitization of existing measurement systems by converting mechanical meters into smart, networked sensors.
- Long-term monitoring and network optimization: Continuous analysis of pressure and flow data to identify irregularities and potential leaks.
- Secure data transfer: Encrypted communication with the POSEYEDON® Cloud for loss-free and protected data analysis.
- Increased grid stability: By monitoring critical parameters, water suppliers can respond to changes at an early stage.
- Easy installation and flexible retrofitting: The SmartEAR®+ ePF can be easily adapted to existing systems and put into operation in just a few minutes.
- 2 pressure sensors and up to 2 water meters on one logger.
- Pressure sensors from different manufacturers can be connected to the standard interface with 0-10 V input.
- Robust design
- Long battery life
- Real-time data analysis
- Robust, waterproof design
Optimized network monitoring with the POSEYEDON® Cloud
The collected measurement data is securely stored in the POSEYEDON® Cloud, where it can be analyzed, visualized, and compared with historical values. This provides network operators with valuable insights for early leak detection and efficiency improvements. The cloud-based solution ensures maximum transparency and supports water suppliers in making data-driven decisions.
