Remote water metering, from meter to decision

Metbox moves water utilities from manual reading to automated, reliable, data-driven management.

How it works

From field meter to billing-ready data

One secure path from your water meters to the systems your teams already use.

01

Meters

Many brands and communication technologies - homes, apartments or commercial sites.

02

Gateway

Gateways collect readings and send them securely over 4G/LTE, buffering if the connection drops.

03

Platform

Readings arrive validated and structured - ready for dashboards, reports and analytics.

04

Your systems

Export CSV/XLSX or connect via REST API to existing billing and management systems.

Why Metbox for water

Built for the way water utilities work

Interoperability

Many meter brands, one platform

Water infrastructure rarely has just one meter type or one manufacturer. Metbox is built to work with existing, mixed infrastructure.

  • 100+ supported meter and device models
  • Wireless M-Bus, LoRaWAN, NB-IoT & wired protocols
  • No lock-in to a single hardware vendor

Automated reading

Automated water meter reading

Gateways collect readings from supported meters and send them securely to the platform over 4G/LTE. If communication drops, data is buffered locally and sent once restored - so readings aren't missed.

  • Turn walk-by & drive-by routes into fully remote reading
  • Local buffering protects against gaps in data
  • Frequent readings and fast alerts for leaks or anomalies

One data layer

One secure layer for billing & integrations

A structured data layer between field meters and business systems - viewed in dashboards, exported as CSV/XLSX, or connected by API to billing, accounting and analytics.

  • Secure transmission from device to platform
  • Role-based access, traceability & GDPR-ready management
  • REST API and CSV/XLSX for existing business systems
