The intelligent water meter technology and series of products developed by the European WIMBEX team can meet various practical needs of water production and consumption enterprises, water suppliers and water distribution networks, and household consumption users. Intelligent water meters, water production and consumption are counted in liters per ton to increase consumer awareness of water conservation. The smart water meter realizes digitized readings and data transmission, greatly reducing its own energy consumption (almost no power consumption). Therefore, the power distribution network supplies power to independent rechargeable batteries. Real-time monitoring of the control center of the water network's intelligent water meter can automatically generate bills based on agreements reached between water suppliers and consumer users. Consumers at home can use the Internet, tablet, or mobile phone to learn about the accurate water use at home.
As a basic facility for addressing future energy security, smart grid and sustainable development of the Internet of Things, the European Commission and EU member states have taken various actions, including policies and regulations, to actively stimulate the commercialization and promotion of smart meter technology within the EU. . With the continuous increase in the penetration rate of smart meters in the EU, the average penetration rate of smart meters in each member country exceeds 60%. The EU smart meter universal action plan has entered the final stage of sprint. The European Union's Seventh R&D Framework Program (FP7) provides partial funding. The European WIMBEX R&D team, which is formed by the industrial and scientific communities of several member states of the European Union, has successfully developed the “smart water meter†technology and modularity using mature smart meter technology. The production process and series of products have recently passed the evaluation and appraisal by the European Commission expert group.

Consumers at home can use the Internet, tablet, or mobile phone to learn about the accurate water use at home.
At present, the R&D team is actively cooperating with the European Commission, member states, water suppliers, manufacturers, distributors and stakeholders to assist in drafting and formulating new uniform water standards and legislation in the EU based on the advice and practical needs of all parties. Suggest. At the same time, the further development of smart metering and application services for innovative technologies in natural gas and heat supply has been included in the R&D team's future strategic research agenda (SRA).
At the same time, the European Commission recently issued a communique saying that the three projects funded by the European Commission have developed a series of new technologies that will help release flood warning information more quickly and accurately.
Among them, the "Imprints" project has developed an early warning platform that can reduce response time to sudden floods to two hours or less so that people have more escape time. The other two projects, “WeSenseIt†and “Urban Flood,†respectively used the observation capabilities of the surveyors in the early warning, and used underground sensors to monitor the status of flood protection embankments and water level changes.
The Commission’s Commissioner for Scientific Research and Innovation, Mel Guegken-Quin, said that the EU is continuing to invest in research and innovation to prevent floods in order to help member states coordinate their cooperation and reduce the loss of human and property caused by flooding.
ã€Focus on China Instrument Network Industry】 Recently, the European WIMBEX R&D team, which is formed by the industrial and scientific communities of several EU member states, has successfully developed smart meter-related new technologies and modular production using the mature smart meter technology of the European Union. Technology and series of products, and passed the European Commission expert group appraisal and appraisal.
