The fully automated water meter performance testing production line is listed in Hangzhou's "Five Small" innovative achievements.
The fully automated production line for comprehensive performance testing of water meters was listed among Hangzhou's "Five Small" Innovative Achievements.
Recently, the Hangzhou Federation of Trade Unions, the Hangzhou Municipal Science and Technology Bureau, and the Hangzhou Association for Science and Technology jointly issued a document titled "Decision on Cultivating 200 Examples of Workers' 'Five Small' Innovative Achievements in Hangzhou in 2024."
Among these, one achievement declared by our company, titled "Fully Automated Production Line for Comprehensive Performance Testing of Water Meters," was recognized as a 2024 Workers' 'Five Small' Innovative Achievement in Hangzhou. This achievement originates from the keen insights and proactive innovations of frontline workers in their daily work, fully embodying "small inventions, minor modifications, and great wisdom." With this automated system independently designed and improved by workers, the previously complicated testing process has been efficiently integrated, significantly enhancing testing accuracy and production efficiency. It is a typical example of how The achievement of "Fully Automated Production Line for Comprehensive Performance Testing of Water Meters" mainly includes two core units: pressure resistance testing and flow rate testing. It is also equipped with auxiliary modules such as transition lines, automatic water draining, and automatic rejection of defective products, achieving full automation of the entire water meter testing process. It has previously received the honorary title of the first (set) of its kind in Hangzhou City."small inventions" can drive "major efficiency."

In practical applications, frontline workers, based on the environmental conditions and actual difficulties at the production site, have independently implemented a series of adjustments and improvements targeting the bottlenecks in system operation. These worker-driven optimization measures have effectively addressed practical operational issues, further enhancing equipment stability and inspection efficiency, demonstrating the innovative concept that "small modifications can stimulate significant performance improvements."
The company is comprehensively advancing its transformation and upgrading towards intelligent manufacturing, with the strategic goal of building "lights-out factories." By introducing automated production lines, IoT technology, industrial robots, and intelligent management systems, it aims to achieve fully unmanned operations and real-time data-driven production processes.
In the future, the company will continue to deepen the "Five Small" mass innovation activities, encouraging frontline employees to boldly innovate by focusing on technical bottlenecks and transforming practical operational experience into tangible productivity gains. It will comprehensively strengthen the innovation-driven development strategy, promote breakthroughs in core technologies and key challenges, and support the enterprise in achieving continuous technological iteration and upgradive development.
