DATABIRD
Automatic meter reading system
DATABIRD is an automatic meter reading system that physically interfaces with the utility meters on the site and feeds consumption data usually via wireless communication to a central logger.
Why do we need automatic meter reading (AMR)?
The benefits are significant. Manual reading is expensive, time consuming and as a consequence irregular. As a proven AMR system, DATABIRD is simple to install, inexpensive to run and reliably collects, collates and transmits energy and water readings.
Databird Features
- Multi-utility meter reading: electricity, gas, water and other energy sources.
- Flexible comms infrastructure.
- Uses ‘license free radio’
- Multi powering options including solar.
- Compact and vandal resistant.
- Simple temperature sensings.
- Remote maintenance contracts.

A recent consultant’s report following the installation of Databird in a Scottish local authority (source on application).
“The equipment has proved to be reliable and providing the required data. Where other companies systems are new and unproven in the field Data Bird is a proven technology and in use by other Councils on a large scale and proving to be extremely successful.”
