With Data as a Service you don’t buy flow meters. You buy the answers. We choose the sites, install and maintain the equipment, and validate the data continuously. You pay for data you can rely on, with no capital outlay and nothing to own.

We’ve run sewer flow monitoring across Australia for more than three decades. With DaaS, we answer for the data, not just the equipment.

The meter behind it

EDS runs the Detectronic MSFM in its own monitoring fleet, so the advice you get comes from people who install it.

Detectronic MSFM area velocity flow meterThe MSFM S2.5T measures velocity from 0.03 to 4 m/s and depth to 3.5 m. It logs every 1 to 60 minutes, and lasts more than 15 weeks on one battery at 2-minute logging.
Certified for Zone 0Intrinsically safe under ATEX and IECEx, the most hazardous classification, for live sewers.
4G straight into FlowSenseReadings arrive as they’re taken, with email and SMS alarms when something changes, or by API into your own systems.

Common questions

Is there any capital outlay?

No. We supply, install and maintain the equipment, so there’s nothing to buy. You pay for validated data and the insight that comes with it.

What data availability can we expect?

99.95%, from a managed fleet with continuous oversight, continuous calibration and real-time alerts.

How do we see the data?

In EDS FlowSense, with alarms by email and SMS when something changes, or by API into your own systems.

How is DaaS different from buying a monitoring program?

Everything that makes the data trustworthy is included: site selection, continuous QA/QC, depth and velocity checks, and ongoing maintenance.
