TRANSFORMING MECHANICAL WATER METERS INTO SMART AMI ASSETS WITH REAL-TIME HEADEND INTEGRATION

In an AMI system, the goal is to gather real-time data from water meters and send it to a central cloud-based Headend system for monitoring, analysis, and reporting. The system can help utility companies to optimize water usage, improve billing accuracy, and reduce manual labor.

Key Features

Mechanical Meter Retrofit

Non-intrusive pulse pickup retrofits mechanical meters without pipe cutting or service downtime.

Cloud Headend System (HES)

Real-time consumption telemetry streams to a central cloud Headend for monitoring, analysis, and reporting.

Water Usage Optimization

Identifies abnormal flows, network leaks, and bursts to dramatically reduce Non-Revenue Water (NRW).

Improved Billing Accuracy

Eliminates estimated billing with synchronized interval pulse counts, guaranteeing 100% invoicing integrity.

Zero Manual Reading Labor

Completely automates water meter data collection, eliminating manual field visits, transcribing errors, and operational overhead.

Modernize your water utility infrastructure without costly asset replacement. By upgrading mechanical water meters into real-time AMI endpoints connected to our central cloud Headend system, utilities achieve complete operational visibility, revenue protection, and sustainable water management.
Pulse Encoder for AMI Water Metering - Powering Real-Time Headend Intelligence

Mechanical Water Meter Digitization & AMI Pulse Technology

Non-intrusive pulse acquisition bridging mechanical water meters directly to cloud-based Headend systems

Water utilities face major capital obstacles when faced with replacing millions of installed mechanical water meters before their lifecycle ends.

The Mirach Pulse Encoder attaches directly to the rotating pointer dials, reflective sweep hands, or magnetic wheels of legacy mechanical water meters. By capturing bidirectional volume pulses with zero metrological slippage, it converts mechanical rotations into encrypted digital data streams that reliably transmit to the central cloud Headend system.

Equipped with magnetic shield triggers and IP68 polyurethane potting, our pulse encoders operate continuously inside flooded outdoor utility pits, guaranteeing accurate water consumption monitoring in any harsh environment.

Mechanical Meter to Cloud Headend: 3-Step AMI Workflow

Real-time pulse capture, edge validation, and secure transmission to the central cloud Headend system

STEP 01

Mechanical Pulse Capture

Precision non-intrusive optical or magnetic sensors read the rotating dial or sweep needle of the mechanical water meter with zero friction or water interruption.

STEP 02

Tamper & Direction Check

Intelligent micro-logic detects forward consumption, discards pipe backflow oscillations, and immediately triggers alerts upon any magnetic tampering attempt.

STEP 03

Cloud Headend Transmission

Accumulated water volume data is transmitted wirelessly via AMI gateways to the central cloud Headend system for real-time monitoring, reporting, and automated billing.
