SCADAmetrics

What SCADAmetrics does

SCADAmetrics is a privately held US industrial instrumentation manufacturer founded in 1995 and headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. The company designs, patents, and produces proprietary hardware that translates flow meter encoder signals into industrial automation protocols, with a primary focus on the water utility, building automation, and industrial metering verticals. Its flagship product, the patented EtherMeter flow meter gateway, converts encoder-type water meters into MODBUS, Allen-Bradley DF1, and EtherNet/IP devices on SCADA, telemetry, and BAS networks, providing revenue-grade totalization and rate-of-flow data. Supporting products include TheMeterDisplay (remote wall display), Signalizer (4-20mA converter), Universal Duplexer and SCADA Duplexer (signal splitters), the Encodalizer family (AMR/AMI signal generation for pulse and Modbus meters), and the Smart Bell-202 Modem, a drop-in replacement for discontinued Schneider Electric telemetry modems. The portfolio carries four US patents and MET (US/Canada) and NTEP certifications, with a documented compatibility matrix spanning meters from Sensus, Neptune, Master Meter, Badger, Kamstrup, Zenner, Mueller/Hersey, Honeywell/Elster, ABB, Siemens, Rosemount, and many other manufacturers.

The company's go-to-market is sales-led and direct: products are listed and purchased through the SCADAmetrics eStore at scadametrics.com, supplemented by direct technical sales for utility and enterprise customers requiring configuration support. Revenue is generated almost entirely from hardware unit sales at undisclosed prices, with volume discounts available on the eStore. The firm employs 1-10 people, operates without disclosed external funding or institutional investors, and is led by President Jim Mimlitz. Marketing relies on an educational metering-technology blog, an email newsletter, industry-conference participation (e.g., AWWA T-CON, Neptune Connect), and a comprehensive online documentation center, all of which target engineering specifiers at water utilities, BAS integrators, and industrial process operators. SCADAmetrics is also a member of the Modbus-IDA Consortium, embedding it in the governance of its primary integration protocol.

Revenue model

1. Industrial Instrumentation Hardware Sales: SCADAmetrics generates revenue primarily through the sale of proprietary industrial instrumentation hardware. Products include the EtherMeter gateway, TheMeterDisplay, Signalizer, Encodalizer, Universal Duplexer, SCADA Duplexer, Analog/Pulse Kit, Milliamp converters, Smart Bell-202 Modem, and related accessories. Products are sold through an eStore and likely through direct sales for larger deployments.

Broad incumbents

• Neptune Technology Group (Xylem): Major US water AMI provider whose encoder protocols (and discontinued SmartTrol/Tricon/E3 systems) SCADAmetrics integrates with and replaces. Sibling entity to Sensus within Xylem; represents both partner and disintermediation risk.
• Itron: AMI/AMR market leader whose endpoints SCADAmetrics integrates via the Encodalizer family. Much larger scope (electric, gas, water AMI platforms) but represents both a partner and a potential competitive disintermediator.
• Kamstrup: Smart water and heat meter manufacturer with growing AMI footprint; SCADAmetrics actively supports Kamstrup encoder protocols. Comparable customer base with much broader product scope.
• Badger Meter: Major water-meter manufacturer whose encoder output SCADAmetrics explicitly integrates with. Overlapping customer base (US municipal water utilities) and complementary rather than head-to-head, but Badger could in principle bundle native SCADA signaling.
• Endress+Hauser: Global process instrumentation leader whose flow meters (Promag, etc.) SCADAmetrics explicitly supports via the Encodalizer. Comparable process-industry customer base; could disintermediate by integrating native SCADA outputs.

Direct peers

• ProSoft Technology: Industrial protocol gateway specialist (now part of Belden) whose Modbus, DF1, and EtherNet/IP gateways serve the same SCADA/integration use case as SCADAmetrics' EtherMeter. Highly comparable product category and customer base.
• Red Lion Controls: Industrial connectivity and protocol-conversion specialist offering Modbus/ethernet gateways, panel meters, and SCADA interface products serving overlapping automation customers in water/wastewater and process industries.
• HMS Industrial Networks (Anybus): Industrial protocol-conversion and connectivity gateway vendor (Anybus, Ewon, Ixxat brands) addressing the same fundamental problem of translating between field-device protocols and SCADA/automation networks.

Emerging players

• Moxa: Industrial networking and protocol-conversion vendor with Modbus gateways and edge-connectivity products. Broader portfolio but overlapping SCADA integration use cases, particularly in water/wastewater.
• Phoenix Contact: Industrial connectivity and automation vendor with protocol gateways and signal-conditioning products serving similar SCADA integration use cases, particularly in water/wastewater and energy.
