LAISON has recently launched a pilot project in Indonesia to upgrade existing mechanical water meters with its innovative MIU.
Indonesia currently has a large number of traditional mechanical water meters that rely on manual readings, leading to inefficiencies and delays in data reporting. As a leading provider of smart metering solutions, LAISON has recently launched a pilot project in Indonesia to upgrade existing mechanical water meters with its innovative Meter Interface Unit (MIU).
It aims to facilitate the transformation of the local water metering infrastructure to the IoT era through a highly compatible smart transformation solution.
LAISON Meter Interface Unit (MIU) is an innovative solution designed to retrofit traditional mechanical water meters with pulse outputs into smart meter. By integrating GPRS/NB-IoT/LoRaWAN communication modules, the MIU enables automatic meter data upload, thereby improving reading efficiency and offering utilities a comprehensive, cost-effective pathway to IoT-driven resource management.
Key Features of MIU:
- Compatible with different kinds of meters with PULSE OUTPUT
- Separation structure for easy retrofit and maintenance
- Touchable button on MIU Interface for convenient Data Query & Data Upload
- Automatic Upload Meter Data by GPRS/NB-IoT/LoRa/LoRaWAN Comm. for further data statistics and analysis.
- Electronic Module fully sealed for better IP protection
- LCD Display for easy info. checking by End-user
- SIM card easily insert & replace
- Remote Meter Parameter Checking
This combination of features makes the MIU an ideal solution for upgrading mechanical water meters, offering significant benefits in terms of efficiency, convenience, and performance for both utilities and consumers.
In the future, Laison plans to promote the MIU solution to more regions. This project not only helps Indonesian utilities reduce costs and increase efficiency, but also promotes the rational use of water resources through digital ways, injecting new impetus into local smart cities and sustainable development goals.
