Products Description
For IC card water meters, users must visit the water supply management department or designated water vending points to pay for their water usage. The purchased water volume is then written onto a dedicated IC card. Upon returning home, the user inserts the card into or places it near the card reading area of the water meter. The meter will then import the prepaid water volume and initiate the normal water supply. When the remaining water volume is depleted, the meter automatically shuts the valve off until the user recharges the card
Products Application
The development course of IC card water meters is a microcosm of the advancement of China's water utility management towards intelligentization, and its evolution clearly reflects the interaction and changes among technology, market, and demand.
The development of IC card water meters dates back to the 1990s. To address the core pain points of low efficiency in traditional manual meter reading and difficulties in fee collection, the first-generation products emerged as the times required, driven by the development of IC card technology and microelectronics technology. These products realized the revolutionary model of "prepayment before water usage". However, their technology was relatively primitive, mainly adopting contact IC cards, which had the drawbacks of being susceptible to moisture and damage.
Entering the first decade of the 21st century, the industry entered a period of technological maturation and promotion. Non-contact radio frequency identification (RFID) cards gradually replaced contact cards, solving the problems of convenience and reliability; advancements in battery technology, sensors, and non-magnetic metering technology significantly improved the service life and anti-interference capability of the products; the issuance of relevant national standards standardized the market. By this point, the technology of IC card water meters had become mature.
However, as we entered the 2020s, IC card water meters faced new challenges and a transition. The user experience of "recharging with a physical card" could no longer meet the higher demand for convenience in the mobile payment era, and the drawback of being unable to realize real-time remote management became increasingly prominent. With the maturation of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, remote-transmission smart water meters based on technologies such as NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) have developed rapidly. Capable of realizing remote meter reading, online payment, and big data analysis, these meters are gradually becoming a new favorite in the construction of smart cities.
Currently, the development of IC card water meters has entered a period of integration and differentiation. Instead of withdrawing from the historical stage quickly, they still have a place in the renovation of old residential communities where cost sensitivity is a key factor. Meanwhile, in terms of technology, dual-mode water meters that utilize "IC card + remote transmission" have also emerged as a transitional solution. Looking back on its development, IC card water meters have perfectly gone through a typical technological life cycle: from addressing core pain points, to technological optimization and popularization, and finally entering a transition phase due to the emergence of better solutions
