VIDI Pressure is a battery-operated device that measures water pressure and transmits data wirelessly.

VIDI Pressure is a smart pressure reading device for water distribution networks. This IoT sensor measures water pressure and transmits data wirelessly.

VIDI Pressure is typically installed in combination with an AVK tapping saddle mounted on the pipe. After installation and activation, the device transmits information about the pressure in the network to the VIDI Cloud platform or to a third-party software (e.g., SCADA and GIS).

With detailed knowledge about the general network pressure, water utilities can optimise the pressure to operate the waterdistribution network more efficiently, reduce operational costs, secure customer satisfaction, and limit the number of leaks or bursts.
