Solution Scope
Meters need to continuously retain metering data, and the communication and execution modules work intermittently most of the time. The project design needs to also answer what tasks the device completes, how often it works, how exceptions are handled, and who receives the data.
Product and Interface Selection
Combined with the measurement interface, pulse frequency, freezing rules, valve specifications, and entire meter test requirements, choose to collect, control, or record the product form.
Power Supply and Operating Strategy
The metering link and the networking link are budgeted separately, and pulse retention, frozen storage and valve action are checked to avoid communication failures affecting metering records.
Device and Platform Integration
Clarify the data model, connection facilities, parameter configuration, task confirmation and offline business behavior.
Validation and Project Delivery
Write the function, energy consumption and environmental conditions into the test schedule, and deliver the design, procedures and records by product module.
Product Development Services

Explore the ScopeFrequently Asked Questions
Does communication module development include entire meter metering certification?+
The communication, control and metrology cores should be defined separately in the brief. The measurement performance and applicable certification of the entire meter need to be arranged separately with the complete product.
Does a scenario project have to develop all products simultaneously?+
Select the required products according to business processes. The development of low-power smart water meter electronic modules and the development of low-power gas meter communication and control modules can be established separately, and the shared data models or platform interfaces can be unified in the demand stage.
How do I arrange for advance verification?+
First select representative points and products, check the measurement interface, pulse frequency, freezing rules, valve specifications, and entire meter test requirements. After verifying key power supply, interfaces, and business links, then determine the development scope of the remaining points and equipment.
