Comarch Smart Metering

The Comarch solution enables remote reading of water, gas, heat and electricity meters, as well as early detection of anomalies such as leaks, violations, and security alerts. It allows a reduction in network operational costs and automation of service and network maintenance. Comarch Smart Metering can be retrofitted to existing metering infrastructure. Its deployment requires the installation of small devices (Comarch M-BUS - NB IoT Gateway). They collect data from meters periodically, and then use standardized protocols to send this information to the IoT cloud platform (Comarch IoT Platform or the external systems), where it is collected, processed and analyzed. The solution is based on one of two types of LPWAN technology: Narrowband-IoT and LTE/4G.

Benefits of using Comarch Smart Metering system

Remote reading of water, gas, heat and electricity meters

Travel to a utilities meter location to get a reading is no longer needed, as every piece of data can be sent directly to the cloud.

Leakage detection

Analysis of ongoing consumption data detects leakages and other problems with the infrastructure.

Automatic billing/invoicing

The system can be integrated with your billing or invoicing system to secure effort-free flow of data.

Predictive maintenance

Based on historical data, you can prevent failures in the future.

Default and custom alarms

Reading default alarms provided by meters manufacturers as well as creating custom alarms based on gathered data.

Retrofitting to already existing devices

System can be installed on any existing infrastructure without stopping day-to-day operations.

Comprehensive solution thanks to Manhole Monitoring

Comarch Manhole Monitoring is an IoT solution for fully automatic monitoring of the opening and closing states of all hatches, including sewage wells, electrical boxes, tips and doors. The system can be used in several business models, as an independent solution and as part of Comarch Smart Metering.

We develop our solutions END TO END

Comarch Smart Metering is end to end solution. It was entirely designed and prepared in Poland, from the R&D process, through prototyping and producing equipment in our Comarch IoT Plant in Kraków, to software development after integration with the customer's system. This model allows us to maintain the highest standards of quality and reliability.
