During his visit to Andijan region, Shavkat Mirziyoyev toured a technopark in the Khojaabad district and reviewed the production of “smart” water meters, the presidential press service reported.
The plant was built in a new industrial zone with a $25 million investment from Chinese company Sanchuan. Together with Huawei, the company has launched production of smart water meters using 5G connectivity.
The devices allow users to monitor water consumption, water quality, equipment condition and the remaining balance online. The meters are designed to prevent water accumulation and feature a frost-resistant casing.
The plant will produce up to 1 million smart water meters of 15 types annually. Around 80% of production processes are automated.
A dual education system has also been introduced at the enterprise. By 2030, companies producing components and spare parts for the meters are planned to be established, raising the localization rate to 70%.
The Andijan Technopark, covering 100 hectares, has a total construction cost of around $300 million. Once fully operational, the complex is expected to host 51 industrial enterprises and create up to 3,000 jobs.
The industrial zone is expected to produce more than 50 types of products worth over $200 million annually, while its export potential will increase by $50 million. Budget revenues are projected at 160 billion soums.
