Application Scenarios

Rental housing
Generally, farmers’ houses or commercial houses are rented out to tenants, and they need to realize separate measurement of water consumption in independent rooms and public spaces, so as to realize reasonable cost sharing. Pain point 1: inconvenient to check water consumption Water meters are generally installed in a centralized area, and are independent in the water meter cabinet or cellar well area of the building, so it is not easy for tenants to check the water consumption. This solution supports viewing on the App. Pain point 2: No alarm for tampering behavior In order to prevent tenants from tampering with the water meter, the program supports the detection and alarming of abnormalities such as anti-tampering, magnetic influence, and abnormal water usage, and timely reporting. Pain point 3: prepayment function Support prepayment function, the tenant will take the initiative to care about the remaining water to recharge themselves, so that the landlord less worry.
Apartments
Smart electricity and water meters are deployed independently based on the room dimension, and the apartment management can realize individual electricity and water consumption metering and charging management with periodic data update and remote monitoring. Tenants can view the energy consumption data through the APP panel and top up the fees through Alipay/WeChat channels. Pain point 1: High workload of manual meter reading. Manual meter reading is a big workload and the data is not timely. The smart meter has remote communication function, and the energy consumption data can be reported, counted and stored periodically for easy access. Pain point 2: Tenants default on utility bills. Tenants do not pay their bills in time for various reasons, thus affecting the operation of the property owner. The prepayment function of electricity and water meters allows tenants to recharge first before using them. Pain point 3: No alarm when abnormal events occur. When the valve can not be closed, long-term leakage of pipes and other abnormal events, the traditional water meter can not report the alarm in a timely manner. Smart water meter can report alarm information in a timely manner and push to the relevant parties in real time.

Industry and commerce
With a high water consumption base and large water consumption in industry and commerce, the installation of intelligent water meters can quickly realize the collection and comparison of water consumption data in the pipeline network, monitor the flow and pressure of pipeline operation, realize the optimal allocation of resources, save water and reduce emissions, and gradually optimize the water consumption per unit of GDP. Pain point 1: Large pipeline leakage and inconsistent data upstream and downstream of the pipeline. Through intelligent construction, high-frequency cycle data comparison can be realized, and leakage areas can be investigated online to quickly locate and solve problems and greatly reduce the leakage rate of pipeline networks. Pain point 2: meter reading and billing difficulties. Traditional water meter manual meter reading cycle is long and billing is difficult. Through the rapid combination of smart water meter and APP, the collection – billing information flow solves the question of user data accuracy and improves the water billing recovery rate Pain point 3: High water consumption per unit of GDP. Realize background data presentation and analysis, combined with water consumption scenarios can be customized water saving and emission reduction optimization program.
