About
Kamstrup delivers end-to-end smart metering solutions designed for utilities, municipalities, and building performance managers worldwide. With eight decades of innovation, Kamstrup combines advanced hardware meters with data analytics platforms to help organizations accurately measure and intelligently manage water, heat, electricity, cooling, and submetered resources. Their water solutions help detect and reduce water loss — as demonstrated by reversing a 51% water loss rate in a rural municipality. Heat solutions include tools like the Return Temperature Optimizer (RTO), which identifies faults in heating installations and boosts district heating network efficiency. Electricity solutions support advanced metering infrastructure including prepaid smart meters that curb theft and improve revenue recovery. Cooling solutions deliver precise, high-frequency measurement data suitable for critical environments like research accelerators. Kamstrup's submetering offerings enable granular resource tracking in multi-unit buildings and commercial facilities. Their analytics platform, Heat Intelligence, provides utilities with deep operational transparency to optimize distribution and reduce costs. The My Kamstrup portal gives customers centralized access to product data, support resources, and operational insights. Kamstrup serves a global customer base across Europe, North America, Africa, and Asia, and partners with local distributors to ensure regional support. The platform is designed for utilities, municipalities, energy managers, and facility operators who need reliable, long-term metering infrastructure paired with actionable data intelligence.
