A Solution for Water Factories in Vietnam using Automatic Meter Reading Technology

Abstract

In this paper, I propose a solution for water factories in Vietnam using automatic meter reading technology. I design and prototype water meters and water quality meters for water factories in Vietnam. Water meters differ from conventional meters in that they record the water consumption and communicate that information back to the water suppliers for monitoring and billing without the need for manual readings. Water quality meters monitor multiple parameters relating to water quality such as pH, electro-conductivity, temperature, etc., and transmit these parameters to a server via GPRS network. Therefore, customers and water suppliers can monitor the water consumption, water quality parameters from anywhere via the Internet. I have deployed the solution at Thainguyen water factory in Vietnam. The experiments show that this solution can operate well in the real conditions.
