Deployer sought: AI optical meter readers that trigger leak, flood and tamper responses

We are a UK AI SME with battery-powered optical meter readers that turn existing water, gas, electricity and heat meters into connected meters without replacing them. The reader mounts on the meter face and uses AI at the edge to read the register, combined with a pulse sensor. It flags a digit it cannot read instead of guessing, and sends its readings to a UK-hosted cloud over mobile data using high-security communication, with the register image available on request. Each reader has its own secure identity, and no gateway or site network is needed.

We are looking for a medium or large UK deployer in an Industrial Strategy sector, such as a large manufacturing site, energy business or multi-site estate, with many legacy meters. The use case is operational: readings and alarms (leak, flood, tamper, temperature) that trigger a maintenance or control response and support sub-metering and cost allocation across a site.

We offer: the readers, cloud platform, set-up and support. We would like: a real site, operational input, a letter of support and a place in a BridgeAI consortium.
