Challenges faced by flow meters

A flow meter challenges

Traditional mechanical flowmeter, such as differential pressure flowmeter, volumetric flowmeter and variable area flowmeter, has been in the stage of popularization, with fierce price competition, decreasing profit space, less technological innovation and relatively mature market. The realization of product differentiation and customized production is an important breakthrough point for manufacturers in the fierce competition in mature markets. According to frost Sullivan's analysis of the needs of industry users, the user group hopes that manufacturers can provide automation equipment that can bring practical benefits to the production process. Users will have specific needs in the process of product application. 

For example, in the special environment of petrochemical industry, solid and durable design and explosion-proof certification are required; Users' requirements for Coriolis flowmeter with straight pipe design, etc. How to effectively obtain the actual needs of users and improve traditional products is a big challenge for manufacturers to differentiate and customize the production process.

Guiding users to accept and use new technology flowmeters, such as SBL target flowmeter, ultrasonic flowmeter, electromagnetic flowmeter, mass flowmeter and V-cone Flowmeter (orifice flowmeter), is another challenge for manufacturers to expand and strengthen the market.

In addition, while new technology flow meters are constantly introduced into various industries, fast and effective after-sales service is also very important for manufacturers. In particular, the flowmeter based on Foundation Fieldbus and profibuspa bus has certain requirements for software technology. Effective service can provide users with more suitable solutions and close to users.
