Advantages of IoT gas meters over traditional IC card gas meters

Compared with traditional IC card gas meters, IoT gas meters have significant advantages in many aspects:

In terms of recharge and payment, traditional IC card gas meters rely on physical card prepayment, and need to go to offline outlets. The process is cumbersome, and there are problems such as easy loss and damage of cards and insufficient recharge points; while IoT gas meters support online recharge, real-time payment, free from geographical restrictions, and can pay through mobile terminals at any time to avoid gas outage due to arrears.

In terms of data management, traditional IC card gas meters only record cumulative usage, which requires manual viewing or card insertion for inquiry. Gas companies rely on manual meter reading, which is inefficient and prone to errors; IoT gas meters upload data to the cloud in real time through wireless communication. Users can view gas usage records through APP, and gas companies can also read meters remotely, saving manpower.

In terms of functions, traditional IC card gas meters only support prepayment and basic metering; IoT gas meters have richer functions, support tiered pricing, remote valve switching, online settlement, and can actively report operating data and fault status.
