SMART WATER, VIDI FLOW 2.0
VIDI Flow 2.0 is a battery-operated device that measures water flow and transmits data wirelessly.
VIDI Flow 2.0 is a smart flow reading device for water distribution networks. This IoT sensor measures water flow and transmits the data wirelessly via LPWA networks. VIDI Flow 2.0 is installed in combination with an ultrasonic or mechanical flow meter with a pulse output. VIDI Flow counts the pulses generated by the flow meter when a certain water volume has passed the flow meter. After installation and activation, the device transmits information about the water flow in the network to the VIDI Cloud platform or to a third-party software (e.g., SCADA GIS). With data from flow transmitters, water utilities can detect leakages faster and reduce non-revenue water.
