Intelligence for utilities

US: Sensus is now shipping its iPERL product, what it calls an intelligent residential water management system.

The iPERL system enables utilities to capture additional revenue and support conservation efforts by delivering unprecedented efficiency through low flow accuracy, high flow durability and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) connectivity. The iPERL system measures up to 12 per cent lower flow rates than any other available product, driving immediate revenue for utilities. This breakthrough is achieved through the application of patented, innovative technologies that take the iPERL beyond the measurement and battery-life limitations of conventional magnetic meters. Through its solid-state design, iPERL has no moving parts, which ensures perpetual accuracy over the full 20-year life of the product.

“Sensus is committed to delivering solutions that enable water utilities to embrace new opportunities for demand management, measure water flow with exceptional accuracy and improve operational efficiencies, resulting in a rapid return on capital investment while supporting aggressive water conservation goals,” said Mike Tracy, vice president of North American Water for Sensus. “As the first intelligent water management system, iPERL is the smart solution for water utilities and we are excited to deliver this technology to our customers.”
