A universal valve that converts existing water and gas meters of any brand and diameter into smart, prepaid, or remotely controlled systems.

  • Compatible with all water/gas meter brands and diameters
  • NFC credit loading, tariff management, and invoice tracking
  • Leak, reverse-flow, maximum-flow, and continuous-flow detection
  • 2G + NB-IoT communications in a rugged build for harsh environments
MMJ multi-jet mechanical water meter with tilted display, cover open showing the pulse module port
06

MMJ — Multi-Jet Mechanical Water Meter

R160-class accuracy, ready to join the network.

A dry-type multi-jet mechanical meter engineered to enter AMR infrastructures out of the box.

  • DN15/DN20 diameters in R160 accuracy class — high precision at very low flows
  • 45° tilted display and 359° rotatable register for easy field reading
  • Plug-and-play inductive pulse module support (aircom-compatible)

MAN1000 / MAN3000 — Next-Generation Smart Electricity Meters

Bidirectional metering built for the renewable era.

Single-phase (MAN1000) and three-phase (MAN3000) modular smart meters that measure energy exported to the grid as well as consumed — ideal for renewable-energy producers, compliant with EU standards.

  • Bidirectional import/export metering
  • Multi-tariff with 8 time zones and day/week/season profiles
  • 24-month data memory with optical/RS485 reading even when de-energized
  • Optical (IEC 62056-21), RS485, contactless card, RF868, and NB-IoT interfaces, prepaid versions available

Manas — IoT Distribution Management Platform

The meters read themselves; the platform runs the operation.

Behind the hardware sits Manas, an end-to-end distribution management platform proven in natural gas and built for multi-utility operations — the same infrastructure also supports water and electricity meters. Meters and volume correctors are read remotely on schedule with automatic retries; IoT smart meters stream data within minutes; consumption is corrected for pressure and temperature to standard volume (Sm³) automatically; monthly invoices generate themselves; and regulatory reporting — such as daily consumption and invoice submission to the national gas authority (BOTAŞ) in Türkiye — runs hands-off with confirmation tracking. Field intervention shrinks too: valve open/close commands go out remotely, so no crew is dispatched for overdue accounts or safety cuts.

  • Scheduled remote reading with automatic retry; correctors report 17 standard measurements
  • Remote valve open/close over cellular smart-meter modules
  • Subscriber lifecycle, tariff, and map view in one record
  • Automatic pressure/temperature-corrected consumption (Sm³) and billing, with revised-invoice support
  • White-label, multi-company operation on a single installation
