Accurate, real-time readings from analogue utility meters.
Collecting accurate, real-time data from analogue meter displays is a well-recognised challenge for the water and energy industries and failure to do so has an adverse impact across the entire supply chain. Deer Technology is proud to offer the answer to this problem – an analogue to digital solution that turns an existing meter into a smart meter, cost-effectively and with no downtime. An image of the meter register and corresponding time- and date-stamped data value is immediately available via a secure online database.
Along with potential cost and environmental savings, the LimpetReader™ is uniquely classified as a manual read for regulatory purposes.
“The LimpetReader™ is a great solution and gives us accurate meter reads and, importantly, we are only paying for what we use.”
