Global Hour Meter Market – Introduction
An hour meter is a mechanical device or instrument that records and tracks elapsed time or overtime flowing through a circuit, which is normally displayed in terms of hours. In addition to this, hour meters can record the running time of gauges to ensure accurate maintenance of costly systems and machines. The maintenance generally involves changing, replacing, and checking of parts, belts, filters, oil, lubrication in engines, fans, motors, and blowers. Hour meters are basically of two shapes i.e. round and rectangular. Basically, hour meters are employed for equipment service, equipment warranty, equipment resale, and equipment rental.
Equipment service includes tracking of running time between two scheduled services. Equipment warranty refers to monitoring of elapsed hours, whereas equipment resale involves recording of actual running hours. Equipment rental services track elapsed time. Hour meter applications include off-highway equipment with products or engines with electric motors.
Global Hour Meter Market – Competition Landscape
The global hour meter market is highly fragmented, with the proliferation of various start-ups, especially in developing economies. Leading market players are focusing on the development of innovative hour meters to overcome the existing limits and enhance the operational efficiency.
- In May 2019, Linortek or Linor Technology, Inc. launched ‘IoTMeter,’ a wireless equipment hour meter. It is a self-contained Wi-Fi-enabled device with relay outputs, analog inputs, digital inputs, and a specially designed software, which is customized as per solutions. It collects data about the usage of temperature, voltage, hours, etc. The device is employed to collect real-time data about offline-powered equipment and industrial vehicles.
