Application of NB-IoT Smart Water Meter in Water Industry
The global population is growing at an exponential rate and due to the growth rate, the demand for water is definitely expected to grow. To provide the required amount of water, water utilities or utilities are updating their traditional water metering systems with new advanced technologies, including automatic meter readers or advanced metering infrastructure.
Currently, water consumption in public buildings or private apartments and houses is read by hand. Imagine if the recording of user data could be done through machine-to-machine communication, how much time would be saved? Wouldn't it be great if the water meter could send data on water consumption directly to the operating company?
Smart water metering systems can provide a solution, recording water consumption data and sending it to the operating company. So, no one needs to stay home and just wait for the operator to collect the data. In addition, the data readout of the water meter becomes easier. Data from smart water meters will provide real-time monitoring of water use at each inlet, reducing the need for excess water. If a water leak is detected, the connected water meter can immediately alarm.
What are the benefits of doing this for the Internet of Things (NB-IoT)?
Its main advantages are low equipment cost, ultra-low power consumption and wide coverage. This demand market is expanding rapidly and can solve the problem of water companies and property charges. Under the current technical requirements and market demands, NB is an IoT water meter at the forefront of the industry, and a smart water high-precision water meter with IoT attributes.
The low-power smart water meter NB-IoT is being actively deployed, and it is possible to realize smart water meter management through NB-IoT technology, which is mainly suitable for remote meter reading system terminal applications such as apartments, water companies, water affairs, and property management. The realization of each function is based on the standards formed in the industry for many years. In terms of water meter collection functions, photoelectric direct reading collection, wireless pulse collection, single reed switch collection, double reed switch collection and other collection methods can be set, and there is strong magnetic interference. Protection, man-made damage alarm, low voltage alarm, data storage and other functions. It can easily realize livelihood projects such as smart city and smart water.
Applied to smart water meters to achieve:
1. Unattended, reducing manpower. 2. Automatic meter reading. 3. Industrial-grade communication equipment ensures safe and reliable meter reading. 4. It can provide complete system log traceability. 5. Visualized graphics and data statistics. 6. Meter status alarm. When low power, low volume, magnetic attack, sampling failure, or leakage alarm (external leakage alarm) occurs, the alarm information is uploaded to the background application platform in real-time. 7. Control the valve switch of the water meter through the background application software (desktop, WEB, and mobile APP). 8. When the meter is removed or attacked by external forces, the information will be uploaded to the background application platform in real-time. 9. It can monitor the stability of equipment data transmission.
The above information is for your reference.
