LoRaWAN Multi-Channel Pulse Counter

Unlocking Accurate, Scalable Metering Across Industries

The ioX-Connect Multi-Channel Pulse Counter is engineered to simplify and modernize utility metering across commercial, enterprise, and industrial environments. With support for up to three independent pulse channels, ultra-long-range LoRaWAN communication, and seamless integration into the ioX-Connect platform, this device empowers organizations to move from manual, error-prone readings to automated, real-time consumption insights. Its rugged design, built-in datalogging, and autonomous operation make it the perfect choice for remote deployments where reliability is non-negotiable.

Water & Utility Management

Accurate consumption measurement is essential for cost allocation, compliance, and operational efficiency. Our pulse counter enables full visibility with flexible multi-channel support.

• Water Consumption Monitoring: Track water usage in real time across multiple lines, tenants, or departments from a single device.
• Gas & Energy Metering: Connect to pulse-output gas or energy meters to automate consumption reporting.
• Leak Detection Analytics: Identify abnormal flow patterns using high-frequency pulse reporting for early leak detection.

Commercial Buildings & Smart Facilities

Facility managers gain reliable insight into building utility usage without expensive infrastructure upgrades.

• Tenant Submetering: Assign channel-level data to individual tenants for accurate billing.
• Equipment Runtime Tracking: Use pulse events to monitor pump cycles, valve actuations, or mechanical equipment runtimes.
• Sustainability & Benchmarking: Measure utility baselines and track improvements driven by efficiency initiatives.

Industrial & Manufacturing

In industrial settings, visibility drives uptime, safety, and operational control.

• Process Monitoring: Count actuator strokes, machine cycles, or production line events.
• Multi-Point Meter Auditing: Monitor several meters or sub-systems using one compact device to reduce deployment costs.
• Data Continuity in Harsh Environments: Built-in datalogging and rugged construction ensure uninterrupted reporting even when network coverage fluctuates.
