Water and energy are scarce resources. Intelligent water supply and the efficient metering of energy are therefore of upmost importance today. They can, however, only develop their full potential when they are tailored to the many different usage scenarios. There is therefore a need for countless product variants, especially as regards water, heat and cooling meters – water and energy supply is thus becoming a complex system technology. At the measurement technology specialist Diehl Metering, the variant management system HYKON ensures that a perfect choice of product variants can be securely processed in the sales and production process.
