Innovative solutions to common industry challenges faced by water companies in Northeast China, such as complicated meter-reading environments, difficulties in data verification, and high costs of meter replacement—Hangzhou Water Meter Co., Ltd. showcased its brand-new AI camera water meter at the Third Membership Congress of the Jilin Urban Water Supply and Drainage Association and the Technical Exchange Conference on High-Quality Urban Water Development, sparking widespread industry discussion. This product adopts MeterMind, the industry's first large-scale model technology dedicated to water meters, offering advantages of high-precision recognition and low-cost upgrades, providing a more effective and economical solution for intelligent transformation of water meters across Northeast China and other regions nationwide.
Our Vice President, Xu Lun, was invited to deliver a presentation titled "Measurement Innovation in the AI Era: Application of MeterMind Camera Recognition Technology in the Water Industry," thoroughly analyzing the current industry situation and regional characteristics, while elaborating on the technical and cost advantages of Hangzhou Water Meter's AI camera water meter.
Even in complex environments, reading meters accurately is no longer a challenge for Hangzhou Water Meter's AI camera water meter. In cold regions, water meters are often installed in complicated indoor or deep well locations. Traditional mechanical encoding or ordinary camera-based meters are easily affected by environmental factors such as moisture and dirt, leading to difficulties in reading and verifying data, as well as increased costs. Hangzhou Water Meter’s AI camera water meter adopts the industry's first vertical large-scale model technology, achieving over 99.99% recognition accuracy even under complex working conditions. This technology was developed by a team of experts with doctorates jointly trained by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and significantly outperforms traditional solutions in practical applications through adaptive learning algorithms and multi-dimensional dynamic verification mechanisms.
Modular design and split replacement further reduce replacement costs. As current regulatory requirements for water meters become increasingly strict, periodic meter replacement has become a key regulatory focus, placing significant financial pressure on water companies. Hangzhou Water Meter’s AI camera water meter features a modular design, allowing only the mechanical components to be replaced during periodic upgrades, while the more valuable electronic recognition module can be detached and reused, significantly lowering replacement costs.
Triple support and dual-driven approach effectively alleviate financial pressure on water companies. To address current financial constraints faced by some water companies, Hangzhou Water Meter, together with strategic partners, has innovatively established a "technology + finance" dual-driven model. While providing high-end, reliable water measurement equipment, we can also offer flexible financial solutions to accelerate our clients' smart water development with reduced burden.
Hangzhou Water Meter’s AI camera water meter has generated enthusiastic responses, with representatives and clients from multiple water companies flocking to our booth to learn more about the AI camera meter-reading technology.
During the exhibition, to recognize our technological innovation and contribution to the industry, leaders from the Jilin Water Association presented Vice President Xu Lun with an appointment certificate for the "Jilin Urban Water Supply and Drainage Industry Expert Database."
Hangzhou Water Meter remains committed to solving practical problems in water management through technological innovation. Looking ahead, the company will continue to focus on the field of intelligent measurement, providing more comprehensive and reliable solutions for the digital transformation of the water industry through continuous technological upgrades and product optimization, thus promoting high-quality industry development.
