Flowmet / Engineering validation programme
Continuous intelligence on water, without fitting an invasive meter
Flowmet is the connected clamp-on ultrasonic platform we are developing to monitor flow on existing pipework. It combines non-invasive measurement, edge processing, telemetry and a path towards multi-node gateways.
- Status: engineering validation
- Non-invasive concept
- Connected architecture
The problem
Most existing pipework was never built to produce useful data
Adding visibility to a network already in service can mean invasive work, plant shutdowns, or devices that are hard to connect and to maintain over time.
Flowmet is being developed on a retrofit principle: apply the measurement system externally, characterise the installation profile, and make the data available through a connected architecture.
Transparent maturity
Flowmet is not presented as a certified billing meter, nor as a finished catalogue product. Commercial performance limits will only be published after the relevant validation and compliance stages.
System architecture
From the acoustic signal to the operational decision
The value is not in the sensor alone. Flowmet is built as a complete chain in which acquisition, connectivity, data integrity and maintainability are designed together.
-
Pipe
Clamp-on measurement
External ultrasonic transducers with controlled mechanical coupling.
-
Edge
Acquisition
Transit times, local processing, temperature and diagnostics.
-
Link
Connectivity
Direct Wi-Fi or transport via gateway, depending on site conditions.
-
Data
Cloud and APIs
Telemetry, device identity, event history and integrations.
-
Use
Information
Dashboards, consumption profiles, alarms and operational workflows.
Scope
What it offers and where it makes sense to evaluate it
What the platform is designed to offer
- Flow measurement without cutting the pipe or shutting the plant down.
- Local signal processing, with diagnostics and temperature captured alongside the process value.
- Data transmission to cloud and APIs, with device identity and event history.
- Dashboards, consumption profiles and alarms usable by the people running the plant.
Where it can be evaluated
- Water networks and process circuits already installed, where an in-line meter would be too disruptive.
- Plants where real consumption has to be understood before committing to structural work.
- Monitoring and diagnostics contexts — not fiscal metering or billing.
Would you like to evaluate Flowmet on your plant?
The programme is under engineering validation: we are looking for real installations to characterise the system on. Tell us the diameter, the fluid and the operating conditions.
