Difficult to read the meter
Harsh installation environment, meter reading sites are usually in underground wells.
Difficult
to read meters, high labour costs and prone to human error in meter reading.
Difficult to charge
High historical arrears, creating a vicious cycle. Long cycle of meter reading and payment. Poor incentive to pay in rural areas.
High leakage loss
With utilities losing up to 30% of their water supply through leakages, non-revenue water continues to plague the industry
Zlink’s meter to cash solution helps water utilities to start their digital transformation and move into the era of smart metering. On the one hand, it helps water utilities to change their operation mode from manual to information and digital.
By analysing, processing and forecasting large volumes of data, the entire production, management and service of the water system is managed in a more granular and dynamic way. On the other hand, water resources can be conserved and digital technology can be used to improve the pipe network and to reduce leakage losses to less than 10% by means of leak detection and testing water pressure.
Save a lot of meter reading labor and time costs, avoid manual meter reading errors, and reduce disputes with users; Real-time monitoring of water consumption, active warnings when abnormal water consumption occurs, and timely detection of whether there is a pipe network rupture; Improve cash flow. For prepaid users, charge first before using water; for postpaid users, if water fees are in arrears, they can close the valve remotely and urge users to pay in time; High reliability, low operation and maintenance, can adapt to various complex on-site meter reading scenarios.
There is no need for the water company to come to read the meter, it is safe and not disturbed; You can learn about water usage online at any time, and deal with any abnormalities in time to avoid waste; Multiple payment channels, online payment and recharge, no need to go to on-site outlets; Caring for the elderly living alone, reminding you of abnormal water use for a long period of time.
We provide a one-stop solution from data sensing, data transmission to data collection, integrating flexible and diverse IoT sensing technologies to meet applications in different scenarios.
