Water management, however, is not such a simple and cheap affair. Production of high-quality drinking water is associated with high costs and it is therefore necessary that such a precious commodity is handled efficiently. A common problem of each tap is the fact that there is a relatively large difference between the quantity of water produced and the water consumed by the user. The reasons for losses are various and most frequently arise from pipe leakages or non-measured consumption. The magnitude of these losses may come to influence the price of water supplies because the tap water operators (= a village/ town) must somehow cover the difference.
The first step to reduce the losses is the introduction of on-line meter reading of water consumption!
By online meter reading of water consumption you get a clear picture of your consumption during the day, find out how much you consume at nights, on weekends and holidays. You can automatically evaluate losses every hour. You get an overview of the consumption of every consumer. You can check suspiciously low consumption. You can detect technology leaks in branches and zones of your water supply system.
CEM SMART  is a product that provides a solution for owners and operators of water supply networks. Applications and data collection technology ensures the on-line meter reading of water consumption in operator distribution networks.
CEM SMART  provides data collection from water meters using radio modules in the band 169 MHz Automatic remote meter readings are performed continuously at short intervals of 15-60 minutes. The collected data are subsequently sent to a Web application that is accessible to individual users of the system over the Internet through a user name and password. Data from the meters are immediately visualized in graphs and tables after each reading.
CEM SMART  allows in-time response to potential defects, leaks or supply failures.

Other advantages of the CEM SMART  application enable you to:
• determine whether the customer advanced payments cover the real consumption

detect losses resulting from technical insufficiency of the system
• find out how much water you need at various stages of the day
• instantly find out the impact of economy measures
• provide your customers with monthly water consumption billing
• uncover fraud, illegal consumption, etc.
Low cost of system implementation – allowed for by the used radio technology, which satisfies all norms and EU and CSN standards for radio telemetry system operation.

Easy and fast installation – battery-powered radio modules have minimum installation requirements.

Quick return on investment – based on accurate online meter reading, data output options in the form of documentation for billing and the opportunity to reduce operating costs of your water supply network, all without entering user property.
