The partners plan to achieve a target of 10 million smart water meters within the next five years. The aim is to enhance the accuracy and security of smart water meter measurements through technological innovation, and to accelerate the market promotion of their products both domestically and internationally, with the goal of increasing China's share of the global smart water meter market.
Technological Backing Ensures Good Application Prospects
Wecan Precision, established in 1992, is a key technology and intelligent innovation enterprise and a "Small Giant" company in Chongqing Liangjiang New Area. The company has long focused on the R&D of high-precision capacitive pressure, differential pressure, level, and ultrasonic flow sensor technologies. Its product portfolio includes high-precision pressure transmitters and flow meters, and it provides customers with automation system integration solutions, serving sectors such as industrial automation, smart heating, and smart water supply.
ZenMeasure, founded in 2014, is part of the Xiaomi ecosystem and Fosun ecosystem. Its focus is on the infrastructure of AIoT (Artificial Intelligence + Internet of Things), aiming to make sensors wireless. Its products and solutions have already been applied in multiple industries and by numerous Fortune 500 companies. Simultaneously, it holds a leading position in China in the fields of "smart temperature and humidity meters" and "skin-based body temperature monitoring."
This collaboration is based on the complementary strengths of both parties in sensor technology, smart hardware R&D, and supply chain management. It aims to achieve full-chain synergy from underlying architecture to application scenarios, jointly driving the development of next-generation smart water meter business.
Clear Goals: Expanding Domestic and International Markets
Addressing the current challenges in the smart water meter market, such as multi-protocol compatibility, stability in extreme environments, ease of meter reading, power consumption control, and secondary pollution, the jointly developed "multi-protocol, high-stability, low-power smart water meter remote transmission module" adopts a modular design. It is compatible with various communication protocols including Bluetooth, NB-IoT, LoRa, 4G, and 5G, to meet the diverse needs of water supply networks in different regions.

Furthermore, combined with ZenMeasure's low-power design, algorithms, and Wecan Precision's hardware optimization technology, the product's endurance is enhanced, allowing it to operate stably even in extreme environments.
The accompanying software management system provides functions such as water meter operational status monitoring, fault alerts, and big data-based water consumption forecasting and pipeline leakage diagnosis, offering comprehensive lifecycle management capabilities.
The plan is to complete the mass production of prototype units and software system testing in the first year. Leveraging their respective resources in overseas markets, they will focus on expanding into countries along the Belt and Road Initiative, as well as markets in Europe and the United States.
Anticipating the Grounding of Cooperation Results
ZenMeasure CEO Liang Yuyang stated at the signing ceremony that this cooperation with Wecan Precision is of great significance. It represents a partnership at the business level and also an exploration of innovation and mutual benefit.
ZenMeasure will uphold the principle of "Transparency breeds trust, trust breeds speed," maintaining open communication and efficient collaboration with its partner. They will strive to achieve a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts (1+1 > 2) in areas such as R&D, manufacturing, and market expansion, deeply integrating their strengths to create superior, smarter water meter products.
He expressed the hope that the results of this cooperation could be put into use as soon as possible, contributing to the optimization of social resource management and services. He also expressed the aspiration for the products to go global, showcasing the value of "Made in China."
