为了向前看且为未来做准备，有时候我们需要改变视角，告别过去。这也适用于水计量领域。随着科技的飞速发展，现在正是告别机械计量、迎接智能计量的绝佳时刻。
多年来，机械仪表一直是大家公认的选择。但在当今的数字世界中，人们对通信和联系交流的需求与日俱增，曾经的最好变得不再足够好。而智能计量具有很多优势，成为未来的必然趋势。
超声波仪表与机械仪表相反，没有运动部件，因而没有磨损，在整个使用寿命内可保持其精密性，既保证计费准确无误，又提升了数据质量。
与机械仪表相比，超声波仪表还具有远程抄表功能，无需任何附加设备，不仅有助于显著减少数据采集时间，而且还可改进资源分配，因此您可以避免误读和跟踪，为更多增值活动节省时间和金钱，并获得更广泛的数据，从而更好地为客户提供服务。
最后，超声波仪表的智能报警有助于实现泄漏、爆裂、逆流等异常情况的高效检测，由此可降低配水管网的非收益水量，防止收益损失。
See why it’s time to say goodbye to the mechanical water meter and hello to the benefits of smart metering.
Precision
The ultrasonic meter has no moving parts and is, thus, not affected by wear and tear. This means that it maintains its accuracy throughout its entire lifetime, thereby enabling correct billing and better data quality.
Remote reading
Remote reading of the ultrasonic water meter can reduce data collection time from several weeks to a few hours. It enables accurate data, better resource distribution and improved customer service.
Water loss
Intelligent alerts in the ultrasonic water meter enable efficient leak detection and lower the amount of non-revenue water – because the faster a leak is detected and stopped, the less water is lost as a result of it.
