The Development of My Country's Intelligent Water Meter Era
-----From The Perspective of Water Resources
With the acceleration of the intelligent process of Chinese cities, the importance of water management has become increasingly prominent. It is reported that from the perspective of water resources, the water resources in many parts of our country are over-exploited, but in fact water resources are not abundant. For example, the development and utilization of the Yellow River Basin has reached 76%, and the development and utilization of the Haihe River Basin has exceeded its carrying capacity. Excessive development will lead to aggravation of water pollution. The water quality compliance rate of my country's water function zones is only 46%. Rational management of water resources has become an important topic.
With the intelligent transformation of the water supply network and the construction of rural drinking water, my country's water meter industry has entered the era of smart water meters. Smart water meters are the most important collectors of pipeline network data. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, smart water meters will replace traditional mechanical water meters. During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, due to the maturity of NB-IoT narrowband wireless network technology and the promotion of policies such as my country's water resource protection plan, the proportion of smart water meters used has increased significantly. After entering the fourteenth five-year period, as the work of the "main customer in the water meter industry" of the water supply company has been transferred to the refined and digital management of the water supply pipe network, the intelligent remote water meter plays an important role as the most important data collector.
The smart remote water meter is embedded with a variety of data sensors, which can directly collect abnormal water consumption data (for example: long-term no water, long-term continuous use and typical time periods), and regularly upload it to the smart meter reading platform. When managers see the abnormal water consumption prompted by the system platform, they can contact users as soon as possible for timely investigation. In addition to realizing the user's abnormal water consumption prompt, the extended service of the intelligent remote water meter is to explore a new mode of creating a multi-functional, agile and personalized "digital convenience" public service. It not only shortens the distance between the water supply company and the residents of the community, but also finds and solves various water problems in time. From reactive service to proactive, proactive and advanced front-line service.
