SOFREL NEO A new 4G & NB-IoT data logger for water networks monitoring

February 2023

LACROIX, a leading company in telemetry and SCADA for water networks with more than 50 years’ experience, is expanding its range of data loggers dedicated to monitoring of water networks. SOFREL NEO is the result of LACROIX’s know-how in water networks telemetry, its constant listening to the needs of water operators and its integration of new technologies.

SOFREL NEO: a 4G NB-IoT Data Logger dedicated to water networks monitoring.

Build to last and communicating for a long time, SOFREL NEO helps water utilities and operators to meet everyday challenges. Waterproof IP68 (certified 200 days/2m), battery powered (up to 5 years autonomy), robust and very easy to install, this solution is designed for installation in underground water manholes subjected to immersion phenomena and aggressive environment.

Processing embedded data loggers functions, SOFREL NEO monitors water metering and flows in real time, registers data, calculate flow rates and transmit all these data periodically or on event with a great reliability.

Transmissions are scheduled or on event by comparing threshold in real time network monitoring. The efficient communication through 2G and 4G M2M modem, offer a transmission to 3 recipients including 2 separate telecom access points.

Locally or remotely, SOFREL NEO allows access to diagnosis information, critical for data qualification.

An inter-site function between SOFREL NEO and SOFREL RTUs guarantee an efficient and straight way to manage a water network.

SOFREL NEO: an innovative and smart Data Logger

With a graphic and assisted configuration tools, SOFREL NEO is a “plug and forget” solution, waterproof and energy autonomous device specifically designed to make water networks more intelligent and able to communicate even in deep indoor.

SOFREL NEO: a range of data loggers designed for water & wastewater use cases.

The SOFREL NEO range is divided in 2 mains applications: drinking water and wastewater. In these 2 parts, thanks to a dedicated software SOFREL NEO allows you to cover specific water use cases such as:

  • District Metering Area
  • Large consumer remote metering
  • Leak detection
  • Pressure measurement and monitoring
  • Water quality monitoring.
  • Sewage overflow detection
  • Permanent diagnostic in wastewater
