As urbanization accelerates and water resource management becomes increasingly refined, pump stations serve as the core hubs for water supply, drainage, and water dispatch. Their operational efficiency and stability are directly linked to the safety of a city's critical infrastructure.

WideIOT deploys IoT gateways with multiprotocol compatibility to collect data from pump PLCs, instruments, sensors, and other equipment. The gateway connects this data to a cloud platform or local HMI (HumanMachine Interface), building a closedloop management system of "sensing – analysis – decision – control" for pump stations. This enables datadriven optimization strategies that significantly improve water supply efficiency and reduce operating costs.

The main equipment and data typically collected in a pump station include:

1. Pump Unit PLC

As the core power equipment of the pump station, the system collects realtime parameters such as operating status (start/stop, fault), rotation speed, power, current, and voltage to monitor equipment health and energy consumption.

2. Flow Meters and Level Meters

Flow meters measure instantaneous and cumulative flow in pipelines, while level meters monitor water levels in tanks. Combining these two data sets helps optimize pump start/stop sequences and prevents overflow or dry running.

3. Motorized Valves

The system collects valve opening position, on/off status, and fault signals, enabling remote precision control and coordinated adjustment.

4. Water Quality Monitoring Instruments

These instruments monitor parameters such as pH, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen in raw and treated water to ensure water quality meets standards.

5. Power Parameter Monitoring Devices

These devices collect voltage, current, power factor, and other data from high and low voltage distribution cabinets, supporting electrical safety and energy efficiency management.

6. Environmental Sensors

Including temperature, humidity, and vibration sensors, these monitor the pump room environment and equipment vibration to prevent overheating or mechanical failures.

Functions Achieved

Enables data collection and remote monitoring across the entire pressurization pump station process (intake from clean water tank, pump set pressurization, pipeline transmission), ensuring stable outlet pressure in the water supply network.

Provides realtime monitoring, fault alerts, and online inspections for the operating status of core equipment such as pump sets, valves, and instruments, reducing manual inspection frequency and lowering equipment failure rates.

Supports realtime recording, querying, and analysis of water pressure, flow rate, energy consumption, equipment operation, and other data, providing accurate data support for water dispatch, process optimization, and management decisions.

Allows for the creation, editing, review, rejection, and acceptance of electronic work orders, building a maintenance knowledge base that includes operation logs, spare parts information, and more.
