Analysis of advantages of IC card prepaid water meters and Internet of things water meters

We can often see smart water meters in our daily life. There is an IC card prepaid water meter. Conceptually, it is a kind of measurement of water consumption using modern microelectronic technology, modern sensing technology, and smart IC card technology. A new water meter for data transmission and settlement transactions. To put it simply, we need to use an IC card and swipe the card on the water meter to use the water meter. The appearance of the IC card water meter is basically similar to the appearance of a general water meter, and the installation process is basically the same. However, compared with the traditional water meter that only has the functions of flow collection and mechanical pointer display of water consumption, it is a great improvement.
How does the IC card prepaid water meter work?
It is very simple, there is an IC card reader in the water meter. When using it, insert the IC card with the stored value. After the reader recognizes the valve, the valve opens, and the user can use the water normally. At the same time, the water quantity in the water meter is collected. The device starts to collect the water consumption and converts it into the required electronic signal for measurement. The water consumption can also be displayed on the LCD display module on the water meter. When the user's water consumption amount drops to a certain value, the user will be prompted with a sound alarm to pay for the purchase of water. If the amount of water is exceeded, the microcomputer module will automatically close the electrically controlled valve to cut off the water supply. Until the user inserts the IC card that has been paid, the valve is restarted to supply water. The IC card prepaid water meter can automatically complete the calculation of the water price of the stepped water price, and at the same time, it can store the water data. The biggest advantage is that the income from water bills has been changed from the charge for meter reading by the staff to the fee paid by the user to the business office.
Understand the IC card prepaid water meter, it is easy to understand the intelligent Internet of Things water meter. Unlike IC card readers with IC card prepaid water meters, the IoT water meter is an intelligent water meter formed by adding an NB-loT remote transmission module on the basis of an ordinary water meter. This module can realize remote data transmission, that is, users do not even need an IC card, and can log in to their control platform through a mobile phone or computer to perform remote management. This function is much more advanced than the IC card prepaid water meter. For example, our smart IoT water meter, users can log in directly to the platform to recharge, no time, no place, no need to go to the business hall to recharge the IC card, saving A lot of time and energy. For water management units, it is also very convenient. There is no need to arrange a recharge window. The input, statistics, and billing processes are all saved. You can log in to the software platform at any time to query various data and reports. This liberates the administrator! If you are not in the office, you can also inquire directly through your mobile phone. If there is a water failure, the platform will automatically notify the administrator that the price of the smart IoT water meter is slightly higher than that of the IC card prepaid water meter, but the efficiency is much higher. And the installation is equally simple, without the need to modify the existing pipe network, and no additional materials and processes.
Relatively speaking, the intelligent IoT water meter has obvious advantages, after all, it is the product of the latest IoT application technology. I believe that future products can provide users with more and more convenient practical functions.
