Beyond Smart Meters - Engineering A 20-Year Total Water Loss Solution

In this webinar, we’ll dive into how Kamstrup’s ALD water meters are designed to work smarter, not harder, by leveraging embedded acoustic leak detection technology. Unlike traditional systems that can drain battery life when adding extra functionalities, our meters use this advanced technology without compromising battery performance, offering a 20-year battery life. This integration not only enhances water management by identifying leaks early but also provides utility teams with valuable intelligence to reduce water loss, operational costs, and service disruptions. We'll also explore real-world case studies, demonstrating how utilities of all sizes have leveraged this technology to save time, manpower, and water by identifying leaks early and allowing utilities to mitigate issues on their terms.

But the benefits don’t stop at the water department. Our meters’ built-in intelligence extends to broader city planning and development. By proactively detecting issues like leaks and pressure changes, utilities can prevent costly damage in emerging areas, such as new road construction, residential and economic development, and major event sites. This capability allows municipalities to address infrastructure needs and prevent catastrophic failures before they happen, ultimately supporting smarter, safer, and more resilient cities.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Learn the frequent consequences of today’s “Smart” technology on battery life and longevity in meters
• Discover how “Embedded” Acoustic Leak Detection differs from common acoustic sensors 
• Hear from Utility case studies how Embedded Acoustic Leak Detection at every meter can amplify and supercharge leak detection programs, saving water loss, operational costs, and catastrophic repairs
• Explore how the benefits of Embedded Acoustic Leak Detection extend beyond water management to benefit city departments such as roads, fire, development, events, and more
