Remote reading and smart metering for water networks
From manual to digital reading: automate data collection for the control of your water meters
Convert your current water meters into smart meters with remote reading, without replacing them or interrupting the supply. Real data from day one: detect leaks before they escalate, bill accurately and reduce operational costs. Integration with your ERP or platform. Compatible with Wireless M-BUS (OMS), UNE 82326 and RS-485.
Why choose SmartUtility Water?
Our TSherpa gateways are installed over your existing meters, without any construction work or replacements, and they work where other technologies can't reach: basements, chambers, and areas with no signal. Actual readings, not estimates.
A single gateway connects dozens of meters under one SIM: fewer connections to maintain and lower recurring costs.
And the data is yours. It connects to a ready-to-use platform or integrates into your current system via our API, with open standards and no manufacturer or platform dependency.
Large industrial consumers

FAQs about TSherpa and SmartUtility Water
No. The TSherpa gateways are installed over the meter park you already have, without construction or supply cuts. They convert your meters into data points with remote reading, whether wired (UNE 82326, RS-485) or radio (Wireless M-BUS 868/169 MHz).
No. A single gateway groups dozens of meters under one connection, so you reduce the recurring connectivity cost compared to the model of one SIM per point.
Yes. It is one of our differentiators: the gateways are designed to communicate where other technologies cannot reach, with over 12 years of autonomy and a 99.9% reliability proven in the field. They are installed in the location with the best coverage and read the meters that are in difficult points.
Here we tell you how we achieved that 99.9% reliability in the remote reading of water meters.
Yes. The data arrives at our ready-to-use platform or is integrated into your current system via an API with open standards. No dependency on manufacturer or platform: you decide where the data lives.
