Utility metering platform

Water, gas, and electric meters with proven hardware from NWM, Rongxian, Xingyuan, and Sierjia—cloud dashboards end to end.

Integrated operations dashboard listing hundreds of devices with live water level, quality, and battery readings.

Water, gas, and electricity meters rarely share one vendor or protocol. Operators do not need another dashboard—they need clear definitions of abnormal, who acts, and when recovery happened, on screens they can trust during a shift.

This portfolio example summarizes an integrated monitoring platform TokyoScale designed and built for regional irrigation, pumping infrastructure, and urban gas distribution. It is one operational model—not a product brochure—showing how we tie field hardware to client-facing dashboards.

What gets connected

  • Water — level, flow, remote pump/valve control, per-channel level meters and encoders
  • Electricity — three-phase metering at pump stations: voltage, current, power factor, active/reactive energy
  • Gas — gas regulation points (GRP): inlet/outlet pressure, remote setpoints, valve open/close state
  • Connectivity — MQTT device registry (7,000+ endpoints), online status, last-seen timestamps

Field PLCs and gateways, cloud time-series storage, and operator web UIs are delivered as one coherent product experience.

Metering hardware (partner manufacturers)

We select proven instruments per deployment. Below are representative products we integrate (from each manufacturer’s catalog).

Ningbo Water Meter UL-DW ultrasonic smart water meter with LoRa
Ningbo Water Meter UL-DW — residential ultrasonic smart meter (LoRa / NB-IoT / M-Bus)
Ningbo Water Meter UL-BW bulk ultrasonic meter
Ningbo Water Meter UL-BW — bulk / industrial ultrasonic meter (DN50+)
Shandong Rongxian electromagnetic flow meter
Shandong Rongxian Instrument Electromagnetic flow meter — plant and pump-station bulk flow (also NB-IoT water meters, prepaid 3-phase electricity)
Ningbo Xingyuan single-jet water meter
Ningbo Xingyuan Meter LXSC series — single-jet water meter (DN15, smart / M-Bus ready)
Yuhuan Sierjia ultrasonic smart water meter
Yuhuan Sierjia Valve Ultrasonic smart meter — M-Bus / RS485, ISO 4064
Yuhuan Sierjia motorized ball valve
Yuhuan Sierjia Valve Motorized ball valve — remote shutoff, prepaid flow control (DN15–DN40)

These meters and valves connect through MQTT gateways into the client dashboards and device registry below.

Client dashboards

One web application covers fleet operations, geolocation, gas regulation, meter readings, and pump-station HMIs. Below are real client-facing screens (region and language are localized per deployment).

Fleet overview — device registry and KPIs

Operations dashboard listing hundreds of devices with active counts, low-level and low-battery alerts, and per-well water level, quality, and battery voltage.
Operations home — total devices, active/inactive counts, alert summaries, and a live table of wells (level, TDS, battery). The screen operators open at the start of a shift.

Geolocation — field distribution

Satellite map with many green pins marking well meter locations across a regional deployment.
Device geolocation — installation points on satellite imagery. Used for patrol planning and spotting connectivity dead zones.

Gas — regulation points and valves

Gas regulation point with inlet/outlet pressure gauges, setpoint slider, 24-hour trend charts, and map panel.
Gas regulation point (GRP): inlet/outlet pressure, remote setpoints, 24-hour trends. Asset metadata (IMEI, address, last activity) alongside live readings.

Meter readings — daily and monthly energy

Data table of smart meter daily energy readings broken down by tariff period.
Smart meter readings — daily, monthly, and yearly active/reactive energy by tariff. Billing, loss analysis, and live monitoring from one registry.

Pumping — piping schematic and power metering

Pump-station piping schematic with flow, pressure, valve control, and three-phase electricity meter readings on one screen.
Pump-station HMI — flow, pressure, and pump control on the piping schematic with three-phase meter readings on the same view. Hydraulic and electrical load in one place.

Design choices we keep

  • Escalation before thresholds — define abnormal and notify paths before drawing charts
  • Same numbers in the field and at HQ — align report intervals (10-minute to hourly) with live views
  • Phased rollout — from one pump station to a regional device fleet, using templated screen design
