For water fee recovery, the traditional method of monthly door-to-door meter reading by meter readers and manual fee collection is increasingly becoming an obstacle to water utility companies seeking to improve efficiency and management. Meter reading involves high labor intensity and low efficiency, while salary, welfare and facility management costs keep rising. This collection method also causes enterprises to fall out of step in water purchase and sales settlement, tying up substantial funds, and disputes between the water company and users easily arise. For water users, they must wait at home at the appointed time and are disturbed by meter readers entering their homes; in addition, favor-based meter reading and fee collection, manual water theft and water leakage due to meter failures further increase the water company's losses.
At present, remote meter reading systems for residential water, electricity, gas and heat meters come in various forms, but the market is relatively chaotic and the technology is not yet mature; there is no complete system implementation and management solution accepted by the market. Traditional wired meter reading systems have complex wiring, poor reliability and difficult maintenance, making management upgrades hard to achieve and unable to meet the market demand for upgrading systems in old buildings.
Although wireless remote-reading water meters solve the problem of entering homes, their wireless networks require supporting intermediate hardware and software. Due to the low-power requirements of wireless transmission, water meters can hardly achieve real-time online monitoring; moreover, because the equipment operating environments vary greatly, network stability is difficult to guarantee.
