What Is The Relationship Between The Transformation Of Water Meters And The Construction Of Smart Cities

What is the relationship between the transformation of water meters and the construction of smart cities

A water meter is an instrument used to measure water flow and is an important tool for water measurement and water-saving management in modern society. It plays an important role in water measurement, trade settlement, water supply control, and other aspects. Most water meters measure the cumulative flow of water and are generally divided into two types: volumetric water meters and velocity water meters.

At present, the water meter industry in China has gradually transitioned from traditional mechanical water meters to a development stage where traditional mechanical water meters, intelligent mechanical water meters, and intelligent ultrasonic water meters coexist.

Development of water meters

Throughout the entire water meter industry, intelligent instruments have become a major "highlight" in the industry. The implementation of "one household, one meter", "tiered water pricing for residents", and "water-saving actions" has led to a high demand for intelligent water meters; It is necessary to strengthen water management for large customers, increase economic benefits, and provide auxiliary maintenance for intelligent water meters; The technical support for intelligent water meters is the informationization construction of intelligent water management systems.

With the continuous development of new generation information technologies such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, etc., the government has introduced a series of policies to promote the digitization and intelligence of urban infrastructure in digital China, smart cities, digital villages, etc.

A series of policies have clearly proposed to promote the construction of digital terminals and systems in municipal fields such as water, electricity, and heat, improve the digitalization and intelligence level of urban underground municipal infrastructure, and achieve grid and refined management of water supply networks. With the gradual implementation of policies, the application and promotion of products such as smart water meters, smart gas meters, smart heat meters, smart water services, and smart agricultural water-saving will be further accelerated.

With the gradual adjustment and transformation of the water meter industry towards intelligent water meters and application systems, higher requirements have been put forward for the accumulation of cross industry knowledge, interdisciplinary product research and development capabilities, and comprehensive procurement capabilities of water meter enterprises. Technical and service barriers have rapidly increased. On the other hand, compared to traditional standard manufacturing, intelligent water meters will also have stricter requirements for installation, debugging, and subsequent maintenance capabilities.

Small and medium-sized water meter enterprises without such comprehensive capabilities will accelerate their elimination from the market. With its long-term accumulation of measurement technology, strong research and development capabilities, and high-quality service capabilities, Shengda water meter is gradually developing and will further improve in the future.
