Industry Background
With the continuous development of China's real estate industry and the steady increase in urbanization rates, the number of high-rise buildings and residential areas requiring secondary water supply has been on the rise, driving growth in the secondary water supply industry.

 Additionally, the steady progress in renovating old residential areas will also generate significant demand for replacing secondary water supply systems.

Furthermore, the secondary water supply (二供, abbreviated as "2nd WS") market in China has long been open to social enterprises, fostering a highly competitive environment.

 Various factors have influenced the market landscape, necessitating continuous refinement of products and services by enterprises. Only by establishing low-cost, high-efficiency operation and maintenance management systems can they meet the escalating demands for secondary water supply and gain a competitive edge.

Industry Pain Points

1. Some residential areas have aging and obsolete secondary water supply facilities with low levels of intelligence, incapable of remote monitoring and abnormal alarms. Operation, management, and maintenance of these facilities primarily rely on manual on-site inspections, often leading to inadequate implementation.
2. The numerous and widely distributed pump rooms, along with the diverse brands and models of equipment involved, make it difficult to establish unified standards. This results in challenges in data collection, preventing a comprehensive understanding of pump room operational status and hindering analysis, decision-making, and operational scheduling.
3. Multiple existing information systems, such as those for equipment management, security monitoring, inspections, and work orders, are fragmented and unable to effectively share and integrate information. This leads to isolated "islands" of systems with low collaboration efficiency.

Solution
In response, WideIOT offers a solution for an intelligent operation and maintenance management system of secondary water supply pump rooms based on edge computing gateways.

 By deploying edge computing gateways in each secondary water supply pump room and connecting them to the control cabinet PLCs for data collection, the data is then uploaded to the operation and maintenance management platform via 4G networks. This enables real-time online monitoring, fault warning, operation and maintenance management, and remote maintenance of multiple sites and various devices, ensuring the safe and stable operation of secondary water supply pump rooms, guaranteeing normal water supply for residents, and reducing complaints.

System Functions

1. Real-time Monitoring of Multiple Secondary Water Supply Pump Rooms: View information such as location distribution, operational status, process parameters, and monitoring screens. Monitor key data including water quality, pipe network water pressure, power consumption, and water levels to achieve unmanned remote monitoring.
2. Real-time Display on System Platform: The system platform displays information such as the operational status of secondary water supply pump room equipment, process configurations, alarm events, and maintenance work orders in real-time, facilitating quick queries and localization. It supports custom configurations.
3. Automatic Notification and Maintenance Work Order Generation: Upon detecting equipment faults, the system automatically notifies relevant personnel via WeChat, SMS, or email. Simultaneously, it generates maintenance work orders, enabling quick queries of responsible personnel, processing times, and operation logs, establishing a standardized fault maintenance process.
4. Remote Equipment Maintenance: Through remote equipment maintenance, engineers can remotely diagnose, program, debug, and upload/download programs for PLCs at remote locations, shortening maintenance cycles and reducing maintenance costs.
5. Data Analysis for Decision Support: By analyzing real-time and historical equipment data, the system provides data support for managerial decision-making, enabling goals such as enhancing operation and maintenance efficiency or process improvements, thereby helping to improve water utility work efficiency and management levels.
