From April 18 to 20, 2024, the "China Urban Water Supply and Drainage Association 2024 Annual Conference & Urban Water Technology and Product Exhibition" was grandly held at the Qingdao World Expo City Exhibition Center. The event attracted over a hundred experts and scholars, more than two hundred water-related enterprises, and over 50,000 visitors for exchanges. As a leading high-end metering equipment manufacturer and comprehensive smart water management service provider, Hangzhou Water Meter made a remarkable appearance at the exhibition alongside Aichi. Guided by the principle of "Originating from the Water Industry, Understanding It Better," the company focused on addressing the practical pain points and challenges faced by water enterprises, introducing groundbreaking new products and solutions. By aligning closely with the needs of water enterprises and building unique core competitive advantages, Hangzhou Water Meter resonated deeply with attendees, earning strong recognition .
Star Products Expand with "New Additions"
In the star product demonstration area, the majority of the latest smart terminals attracted enthusiastic attention. Addressing the challenge that traditional tonnage photoelectric water meters are not conducive to big data analysis, the metric-to-liter photoelectric direct remote transmission water meter combines theinherent advantages of photoelectric direct reading with those of non-magnetic sensor remote transmission water meters. This integration allows remote transmission data to be precise down to the liter, achieving a "perfect fusion of two strengths." To tackle the cost issues associated with periodic replacement of remote transmission water meters, the product design incorporates a unique counter vacuum-sealing process, enabling electronic components to remain reusable during routine inspections. This significantly reduces water utility replacement costs, alleviates financial pressure, and has earned high praise from water sector clients.
To address practical water usage and billing scenarios, the company has dedicated extensive research to the issue of "valve control," a common concern for water enterprises, and has introduced two exclusive valve control solutions. In addition to the previously available split-type Bluetooth valve control, the new NB-IoT independent control valve enables real-time remote response to valve opening and closing operations. It is compatible with water meters from all manufacturers and types, helping water enterprises manage remote water usage with ease and confidence. The exhibition booth featured intuitive and vivid demonstrations alongside detailed and professional explanations, earning high praise from clients. The cooperation negotiation area was consistently packed, reflecting strong interest and engagement.
In addition, the company's non-magnetic sensor series and photoelectric direct reading series products have achieved groundbreaking innovations in meter appearance, performance accuracy, and modular design.
Multi-Parameter Sensing Large-Diameter Remote Water Meters Fully Upgraded
Water enterprises often struggle with the issue of incomplete remote data transmission from traditional mechanical large meters. Addressing this challenge head-on, the company has launched the multi-parameter sensing horizontal (vertical) helical vane water meter. This product integrates modules for parameters such as pressure, flow, and temperature with the base meter in a unified design, utilizing NB-IoT/Cat.1 for remote data transmission. Its user-friendly operation and bundled transmission of multiple parameters make it easier for water utilities to conduct dynamic analysis and optimize operational decision-making. Furthermore, compared to the pressure-integrated electromagnetic or ultrasonic water meters commonly used by water enterprises, this solution significantly reduces costs. Since its release, it has resonated strongly with water enterprises, attracting numerous clients for consultations and discussions, many of whom have expressed strong interest in collaboration.
Nationally Recognized Precision Leak Detection Solution
Addressing the critical issue of pipeline leakage in the water industry, the SU electromagnetic water meter, jointly developed by the company and Aichi, features unique residual excitation technology. This innovation fundamentally transforms traditional methods of leakage control and loss reduction. With an ultra-high excitation frequency of 0.3 seconds, operation without the need for high-power electrical connections, and the ability to actively transmit instantaneous flow data every 1.8 seconds, it precisely captures the minimum nighttime instantaneous flow to achieve accurate leak detection. This solution not only identifies whether leakage exists behind the meter but also quantifies the exact volume of leakage, making pipeline leakage control significantly simpler. Recognized as a national energy resource metering service demonstration project, this functionality has already helped water enterprises achieve remarkable results in DMA district metering, greatly enhancing their refined management capabilities and earning widespread acclaim in the industry.
This exhibition provided a valuable platform for high-level exchange and learning among the industry's technical, market, and client sectors. While the event has concluded, innovation and progress continue unabated. Hangzhou Water Meter remains committed to cultivating and applying new quality productive forces, staying abreast of market demands, and refining the differentiation and personalization of its products, services, and solutions. Together with industry peers, we will continue to drive the high-quality development of the urban water supply sector, creating a brighter future for all.
