Smart meters are digital tools that provide accurate tracking of utility energy consumption on an attached system. For instance, when you have a smart water meter connected to your facility's main, the device tracks water flow 24/7, which can help address issues and bill customers more accurately. It can also monitor leaks. Digital metering systems have smart meter technology that controls the flow of resources used in a specific facility, such as water, electricity, or natural gas. A significant benefit of these systems is that you can control the smart aspects remotely.
