Nationwide Smart Water Meter Rollout with Multi Utility Integration

Country: Belgium | Industry: Water Utilities | 

Project description: Missing Link supported a large‑scale smart water meter rollout within a complex multi‑utility AMI environment. The programme required integration of smart water meters into an existing electricity AMI infrastructure, including HES and MDM interoperability across water, electricity, and gas domains. Missing Link delivered AMI programme support covering technical specifications, smart metering procurement, system integration, and rollout governance. The engagement ensured scalable smart metering deployment, interoperability, and structured control across multiple utility stakeholders.

Smart Meter Technology Validation and Bulk Meter Pilot

Country: Belgium | Industry: Water Utilities

Project description

Missing Link designed and executed a smart water meter pilot to validate bulk meter technology during the tendering phase of a large AMI programme. The pilot assessed communication performance, measurement accuracy, and compliance with technical specifications under real operational conditions. Findings from the pilot directly informed procurement decisions, preventing deployment of non‑compliant smart metering technology. This risk‑based approach strengthened decision‑making and protected long‑term AMI investments.
