Powering the next generation of smart water monitoring with ZH Technologies International

Challenges

ZHTI needed a reliable and scalable connectivity solution for smart water infrastructure deployments across multiple APAC markets.

Solution

Acceleronix delivered an end-to-end IoT connectivity platform with eSIM capabilities, remote management, and real-time monitoring.

Use case

Smart water metering and infrastructure monitoring for efficient utility operations and data visibility.

Key features

Global eSIM connectivity, remote SIM management, real-time monitoring, and scalable multi-region deployment support.

Challenge

ZH Technologies International (ZHTI) is a Singapore-based Smart Water Management Specialist, delivering smart water metering and non-invasive tank level monitoring solutions across APAC. Its solutions help utilities, facility managers, and commercial and industrial operators transform legacy infrastructure into intelligent, data-driven assets.

As ZHTI prepared to scale deployment of its Metrix Gen2/Gen2H LTE Meter Interface Units and Metrix M-Level 4G tank monitoring solution across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan, Korea, and wider Southeast Asia, reliable connectivity became a critical requirement.

The project needed a low-power cellular backbone that could perform consistently across multiple countries, including RF-challenged environments, without relying on complex local SIM procurement and management.

The main challenge was SIM logistics and regional fragmentation. Sourcing, provisioning, replacing, and managing local SIM cards country by country delayed rollout, increased operational costs, and added unnecessary complexity to deployments.

 

Solution

ZHTI adopted Acceleronix eSIM and global roaming services to provide reliable cellular connectivity for its smart water monitoring solutions across APAC.

Acceleronix’s global eSIM/eUICC-ready connectivity gave ZHTI a carrier-agnostic approach with multi-carrier fallback, helping reduce dependence on local SIM logistics while supporting deployments across different markets.

The connectivity is used in:

  • Metrix Gen2 LTE MIU and Metrix Gen2H LTE MIU – Cellular meter interface units for AMR-ready mechanical water meters. These devices transmit pulse data via LTE Cat-1 bis to cloud platforms using MQTT or HTTP.
  • Metrix M-Level 4G – A non-contact ultrasonic tank level monitor for water, diesel, and chemical storage. It transmits real-time level and temperature data via 4G/LTE, enabling anomaly alerts and remote monitoring.

With Acceleronix connectivity integrated into these endpoints, ZHTI can deliver a pre-certified, IP68-rated, eSIM-enabled solution that is quick to deploy, infrastructure-free, and designed for long-term autonomous operation.

Results

By collaborating with Acceleronix, ZHTI has been able to simplify and accelerate smart water deployments across APAC.

Key benefits include:

  • 99.8% data transmission success rate across deployed sites
  • Around 30% faster production and delivery by removing local SIM logistics
  • Around 40% faster project implementation compared with other LPWA solutions
  • Elimination of manual meter readings and tank inspections
  • Real-time leak detection and consumption anomaly alerts
  • More accurate billing and support for non-revenue water reduction
  • No requirement for on-site network infrastructure
  • Seamless integration with existing cloud platforms and applications through open APIs

The result is a plug-and-play smart water monitoring solution that can be deployed in hours, securely transmit data to any platform, and support long-term operation in the field.

 

“Partnering with Acceleronix has been instrumental in accelerating our go-to-market for the Metrix Gen2 and M-Level Non-Invasive water tank monitoring series. With Acceleronix, we’ve eliminated SIM logistics bottlenecks and achieved first-time-right connectivity deployments across APAC.”

— Sebastian Tan, Business Development Director, ZH Technologies International

 

“ZH Technologies International is a great example of how reliable, flexible connectivity can unlock faster IoT deployment at scale. By removing the complexity of local SIM logistics and providing a resilient global cellular backbone, we are helping ZHTI bring smart water monitoring to more customers across APAC with speed, confidence, and operational simplicity.”

A new standard for scalable smart water deployment

Before working with Acceleronix, ZHTI faced a familiar challenge for IoT deployments across multiple countries: every new market introduced connectivity complexity, from local SIM sourcing to provisioning, replacement, and network reliability.

With Acceleronix global eSIM and roaming services, that process became simpler, faster, and more scalable. ZHTI can now deploy smart water meters and tank monitoring devices across APAC without building local network infrastructure or managing fragmented SIM operations market by market.
