In the context of rapid urban population growth and the increasing need for sustainable resource management, cities around the world are moving towards the concept of the “smart city,” where digital technologies are integrated into every sphere of life. One of the key elements of this transformation is the efficient and accurate management of water resources. The ADDRA ultrasonic water meter from ADD GRUP offers an advanced solution for the digitalization of water accounting and optimization of urban infrastructure.
ADDRA is an intelligent device designed to ensure maximum measurement accuracy and uninterrupted data transmission to smart city management systems. Thanks to its low starting flow of just 1 liter per hour, it can detect even minor water flows, including micro-leaks that, in the long term, may lead to significant losses. The device is resistant to contaminated water, has no moving parts, and maintains its accuracy throughout its entire service life.
The meter is easily integrated into modern IoT networks and supports data transmission via NB-IoT, LoRaWAN, and WM-Bus protocols. This enables utility providers, municipal structures, and smart system operators to receive accurate consumption information in real time, quickly respond to leaks, tampering, backflows, or water outages. Alerts for events such as TAMPER, LEAK, BURST, DRY, LOWBAT, and others make ADDRA not just a meter, but an active participant in the city’s digital ecosystem.
A particular advantage of ADDRA lies in its prepaid and remote management systems. The built-in valve allows limiting or completely suspending the water supply if the consumption limit is reached or the user has not made a payment. This makes the device especially valuable in social housing projects, the hotel industry, as well as in areas with limited resources, where consumption control is critically important.
ADDRA has already proven its effectiveness in a number of international projects, becoming part of the digital infrastructure in countries across Europe, Asia, and Latin America. It is not just a meter, but a tool for sustainable development, enabling cities to increase transparency, reduce water losses, encourage responsible consumption, and move step by step towards a greener and more digital future.
The intelligent technologies of ADDRA support the mission of smart cities — to make infrastructure more efficient, sustainable, and citizen-oriented.
