As the "dual carbon" goals take shape and energy management becomes increasingly, one of the industry's core challenges remains how to achieve continuous, stable monitoring of energy sites that are widely distributed and operate in complex environments. Traditional energy monitoring approaches—constrained by low manual inspection efficiency, incompatible protocols among diverse energy-consuming equipment, and fragmented, lagging data—fall short of meeting the demands for round‑the‑clock, real‑time, and granular energy data monitoring and dispatch management. There is a clear and pressing need for more efficient and reliable data acquisition and communication solutions.

The WideIOT industrial data acquisition gateway integrates a wide range of capabilities, including wide-voltage input, multi-channel I/O acquisition, multi‑protocol parsing and conversion, RS485/RS232/Ethernet communication, 5G/4G/Wi‑Fi wireless transmission, edge computing, and an embedded management platform. It provides a stable and reliable wireless data communication solution for applications such as energy equipment data collection, remote monitoring, abnormal energy consumption alerts, remote operation and maintenance, and unified management of distributed energy sites.

Designed with low power consumption, wide‑temperature tolerance, wide‑voltage input, strong anti‑static protection, and both hardware and software watchdog mechanisms, the gateway supports integration with major IoT platforms—including Baidu, Huawei, and Alibaba—as well as encrypted data transmission. It is widely applicable in high‑reliability, unattended energy scenarios such as smart factory energy monitoring, building energy management, photovoltaic/energy storage site supervision, EV charging pile cluster O&M, and distributed substation monitoring.

Application Scenarios

Dynamic energy monitoring and management in industrial enterprises
The gateway enables centralized collection and upload of full‑category energy data—water, electricity, gas, heat, and more—from manufacturing facilities. It connects to various on‑site metering instruments, including electricity meters, water meters, gas meters, and flowmeters, and aggregates energy consumption data from different production workshops and lines in real time. Automated energy reports are generated to precisely identify high‑consumption processes, helping enterprises optimize production scheduling and energy dispatch, effectively reducing energy consumption per unit of output value, and achieving cost savings through greater efficiency.

Smart energy management in public buildings
Applied in commercial and industrial parks, office buildings, hospitals, schools, and other public facilities, the gateway collects real‑time energy data from air conditioning, lighting, elevators, power equipment, and other systems. It dynamically analyzes building energy profiles, promptly detects inefficient usage such as no‑load waste and abnormal leaks, and provides data‑driven insights for property operation and maintenance teams—significantly improving overall energy efficiency in public buildings.

Remote O&M for distributed new‑energy sites
In unattended scenarios such as distributed PV, energy storage stations, and wind power sites, the gateway captures core data including power generation, battery charge/discharge status, and inverter operating parameters in real time. It enables early warning of anomalies such as generation efficiency drops or equipment faults, replacing manual inspections with remote status monitoring and parameter configuration. This substantially reduces O&M costs for new‑energy sites while ensuring stable power output.

Cluster supervision of urban charging infrastructure
For public EV charging piles and battery swap stations, the gateway collects real‑time data on electrical load, charging duration, energy consumption, and operational status. It interfaces with the charging station management platform, assisting operators in equipment maintenance and providing end‑users with accurate energy usage traceability. This ensures both electrical safety and transparent energy consumption throughout the charging process.
