Brasília — Brazil

Remote Water Management at Scale:
High-Frequency Monitoring 725 km from Headquarters

Water submetering may appear straightforward, but managing it efficiently in large residential buildings presents complexities that few outside the sector truly understand — and even fewer can deliver from over 700 km away.

01 / CHALLENGE

Manage the unmanageable — remotely.

Deliver a submetering solution capable of operating one of the most demanding setups in residential metering: hundreds of meters, fully remote, with no local team available to intervene.

  • Effectively manage a complex building with hundreds of meters and units remotely, with no local team.
  • Maintain high service standards across long distances — over 700 km from the company's headquarters.
  • Ensure real-time detection of anomalies to prevent customer complaints and reduce costs.
02 / SOLUTION

Two LegitFix units. Hundreds of meters. Distance solved.

The project involves a residential building in Brasília, Brazil, featuring 72 apartments and a total of 656 water meters — approximately 9 meters per unit. Despite the logistical challenge, WiserMeter enabled full remote management from its partner's headquarters in Belo Horizonte, 725 km away.

Using only two LegitFix data concentrators, the system performs one reading per minute for each of the 656 meters — resulting in over 900,000 readings per day with high reliability and data redundancy.

A key factor in this performance is LegitFix, the only data concentrator in the Brazilian market with remote firmware update capability (FOTA). This allows for performance optimization and feature upgrades without needing on-site technical visits.

03 / KEY RESULTS

Distance becomes irrelevant when the data is right.

This case demonstrates that with robust infrastructure, unmatched data granularity, and a commitment to excellence, it's possible to deliver top-tier remote utility management — regardless of distance.

Ultra-Granular Monitoring

One reading per minute per meter enables real-time leak detection and precise consumption insights.

Remote Operation at Scale

Full management of a complex building structure over 700 km away, with no local technicians required.

High System Reliability

Redundant data capture using dual concentrators ensures robust operation and high availability.

Reduced Support Demand

Detailed data empowers residents to identify and address issues independently — fewer service tickets, fewer on-site visits.

Trust Built on Technology

Data accuracy is non-negotiable.
And distance is no excuse.

All technologies used by WiserMeter undergo rigorous testing to ensure that every measurement is reliable and defensible. This case proves that with robust infrastructure, unmatched data granularity, and a commitment to excellence, top-tier remote utility management is possible — regardless of distance.

Sustainable living &
utility bill savings are just a click away.

Whether you operate one building or hundreds, our team will help you find the right path.
