An environmental technology company specializing in water pollution monitoring, water quality sampling and analysis, and emergency inspection services—covering applications such as urban riverways, industrial discharge outlets, drinking water sources, and lakes and reservoirs—has integrated multiple water quality analysis instruments into dedicated vehicles to create mobile water quality testing stations. To meet the growing complexity of monitoring tasks and management needs, the company urgently requires a remote monitoring and visualized management platform to enable unified dispatching and intelligent maintenance of vehicles, equipment, and tasks.

Needs Analysis

1. Water quality testing vehicles are widely distributed across different water bodies and monitoring sites. The headquarters lacks real-time visibility into vehicle location, operational status, water quality sampling progress, and equipment performance. There is an urgent need for vehicle networking and visualized management.

2. There is no systematic maintenance mechanism for onboard testing equipment and the vehicles themselves. Information such as equipment failures, maintenance records, and task completion status is scattered and difficult to track or analyze. A standardized, information-based maintenance management system is required.

Solution

To address the above needs, WideIOT offers an integrated solution consisting of a "data acquisition gateway + vehicle management platform." Each water quality testing vehicle is equipped with a WideIOT industrial-grade data acquisition gateway, which connects to the vehicle’s generator set, control terminal, and multi-parameter water quality analyzers (measuring pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, conductivity, etc.). The gateway collects real-time data on vehicle location, engine status, water quality readings, and equipment fault signals, and transmits the data to a cloud server via 4G/5G networks. The cloud-based vehicle management platform parses and stores the data, providing functions such as remote monitoring, intelligent alerts, task dispatching, maintenance management, and data analysis—fully supporting the operation and upkeep of the water quality testing vehicles.

Key Features

1. Real-Time Monitoring and Visualized Dashboard

Real-time monitoring of vehicle voltage, fuel consumption, GPS location, and generator status, integrated with water quality data (pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, conductivity, temperature, etc.), generates a dual-dimensional visual report covering both vehicle and water quality metrics.

2. Vehicle and Equipment Record Management

A centralized filing system for water quality testing vehicles supports quick searches by vehicle ID, equipment model, project area, recent alerts, maintenance work order history, and task completion status. It also allows online editing and batch management.

3. Intelligent Alerts and Notifications

Supports multi-level alert thresholds (e.g., abnormal water quality parameters, generator voltage issues). The system automatically detects anomalies and triggers alerts, which can be sent via WeChat, SMS, or email to responsible personnel, ensuring timely responses.

4. Vehicle Tracking and Route Management

A GIS dashboard displays the real-time locations of water quality testing vehicles nationwide. Users can view live tracking and historical routes, facilitating dispatching and task traceability while improving emergency response capabilities.

5. Work Order Management and Task Assignment

Supports QR code-based fault reporting and automatic generation of maintenance work orders. Each work order includes type (inspection, repair, calibration, etc.), processing time, assigned personnel, and resolution status. This closed-loop management system enables efficient task allocation and improved maintenance efficiency.

6. Data Analysis and Decision Support

The system performs multi-dimensional statistical analysis on vehicle fault frequency, water quality task completion rates, and maintenance response times, helping the company identify weak points in equipment and optimize maintenance workflows—supporting digital transformation and refined management.
