As a deepening and evolution of AMR technology, the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system has built a more complete intelligent metering and management framework. AMI water meters not only inherit the automatic meter reading function of AMR, but also have the following core features:
Two-way communication mechanism: The AMI system supports two-way information interaction with terminal water meters, which makes it possible to remotely control water meters, such as opening or closing remote valves, providing the possibility for refined management and control.
Leak detection: Relying on real-time monitoring functions, the system can keenly capture abnormal fluctuations in water consumption, thereby achieving rapid positioning and response to pipeline leaks.
Water management strategy optimization: The massive data resources gathered by the AMI system provide water companies with in-depth data analysis. Water companies can formulate and implement more scientific and efficient water management strategies based on accurate and comprehensive water use data, such as promoting time-sharing water supply, implementing tiered water prices, or formulating water use quotas.
Improved customer service quality: Providing billing services based on accurate metering data helps reduce customer complaints caused by inaccurate metering, thereby improving customer satisfaction and trust.
In summary, the application of AMR and AMI smart water meter technology is not only an innovation in traditional water resource metering methods, but also a key measure to promote the development of water resource management towards intelligence, refinement and efficiency.
