Water Smart Meters

Powering the future of smart grids with accurate and secure water metering

Andrea Informatique supports utilities and technology providers in the digital transformation of water management, providing reliable and secure smart metering solutions designed for sustainable cities and smarter networks. For over 10 years, Andrea has played an active role in large-scale pilot projects and national deployments across Europe, Middle East and Africa, working with utilities and meter manufacturers to ensure full interoperability and field-tested performance.

Our approach covers the complete lifecycle of water metering — from specification and prototype design to integration, testing, and long-term support. With strong expertise in DLMS/COSEM, NB-IoT, and LoRaWAN, Andrea delivers intelligent solutions that combine accuracy, efficiency, and innovation.

DLMS & Communication

The future of water metering relies on standardization, interoperability, and connectivity. Andrea is among the first companies to extend the DLMS/COSEM protocol to water meters, guaranteeing compatibility across different manufacturers and systems.

DLMS/COSEM over NB-IoT, LoRaWAN and wireless M-BUS enabling secure and scalable communication.
Integration with HES and MDM systems for centralized data collection and analysis.
Advanced configuration tools through our Colibri mobile application for field technicians.
Phenix validation for DLMS conformance and interoperability testing.
