Talking about the application of hand-held meter reading machine in meter reading management
Basic situation analysis
Before the use of meter reading machine, the water supply company used manual and card meter reading methods, which had obvious disadvantages: for example, it was difficult to recognize the handwriting when manually copying water, and it was easy to make mistakes when copying data into PC; The meter reading personnel can only estimate the meter reading when they are not at the site, and cannot read the meter in place; Meter reading personnel will copy less or not familiar with the user's water, which is prone to "human exchanges"; The efficiency of manual meter reading is low. In the links of query, record and transmission, manual operation greatly reduces the work efficiency. Therefore, the company began to look for more effective meter reading solutions. The application of meter reading machine based on water supply marketing management information system has played an important role in water meter location query, water volume data collection, transmission and processing, which is more cost-effective than centralized meter reading and remote transmission. Among many meter reading schemes, this scheme is more in line with the actual needs of water supply companies. Therefore, the company chose the meter reading scheme based on the handheld meter reading machine provided by Tongchuang Technology.
Application of meter reading machine in meter reading management
The application case of meter reading machine in water affairs management of the water company fully reflects the application value of meter reading machine in data acquisition, transmission and other application links; The application of Tongchuang's meter reading system in the company actually represents the mainstream application mode of meter reading machines in the domestic market. The application of meter reading machine in the company is introduced in detail.
Query Location
When past meter readers arrive at the meter reading site, they first query and locate the current user's water meter to determine the user's ownership of the meter. The meter reader constantly searches for the corresponding meter number, user number, meter code and other information in the thick meter reading card, which wastes a lot of time and energy; Before proceeding to the next step, please ensure that the user of "1001" table belongs to "Zhang San".
The application of meter reading machine greatly shortens this tedious and tedious link. Tongchuang Technology provides three positioning methods:
Input inquiry method: open the program menu of meter reading machine, and input the meter number or user number "1001" through the keyboard. It reflects all the information of the current water meter, including user name address, meter diameter, water volume of last month, current water volume, reading and non reading results, etc.
Barcode query method: consider the light and shade contrast of meter reading environment, distance, inconvenience of meter reading personnel to read water meter numbers and other factors., The system supports the query mode of laser barcode reading; This method requires pasting a certain length of barcode on the water meter. Barcode information mainly includes characters and numbers, such as instrument number and user number. Before the water meter, the meter reader only needs to simply scan the barcode, and then can call out the information contained in the barcode (such as "1001") from the database of the meter reader, corresponding to the customer information (such as "Zhang San"), to complete the preliminary water meter positioning operation.
Through keyboard, bar code and preset meter reading sequence, the process of meter reader searching and confirming card information is reduced, the work intensity of meter reader is greatly reduced, and the query speed is increased dozens of times.
