The Sonata is an innovative ultrasonic IoT water meter. Unlike traditional water meters, it measures the residential water volume using ultrasonic transducers, with no moving parts and with no need to have rotors in the water pipe itself.
It communicates directly with the municipality to send the data using an application, saving manual work and visits to the houses to measure the water. It is highly functional and durable and can work in a wet environment for more than 15 years with no need to be replaced or maintained. Taga had to give this revolutionary water meter a design that

Unlike traditional water meters, it measures the residential water volume using ultrasonic transducers, with no moving parts and with no need to have rotors in the water pipe itself. It communicates directly with the municipality to send the data using an application, saving manual work and visits to the houses to measure the water. It is highly functional and durable and can work in a wet environment for more than 15 years with no need to be replaced or maintained.
Taga had to give this revolutionary water meter a design that will create a breakthrough in its category. Since there are no round parts in the meter that dictates the shape – there was more creative freedom for us in designing, and so we re-invented water meters design. The meter is no longer round. And this is one of the first things you notice when looking at this product. The iconic design of the product emphasizes its innovation. Its colorfulness brands the new product line and differentiates it from competitors.
The high durability and reliability of the product was achieved by casting all the electronics in epoxy, complying with all-weather and all-terrain conditions. In fact almost anything can happen to it without it cracking. Taga designed and engineered it so it can be installed under the ground and in pits full of water.
Sonata other innovations include advanced realtime Automatic Meter Reading and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMR/AMI) and it communicates the data via cellular, so it is not necessary to open the meter it to register the usage data. The product replaced traditional meters in many municipalities worldwide and won 3 prestigious awards: The International iF design Award, the German Design Award and the Good Design Award (USA).
