Remote monitoring solution for urban secondary water supply equipment

1、 Project background

In recent years, with the rapid development of cities in China, the number of newly built shopping malls and high-rise residential areas has gradually increased, and the number of buildings that require secondary water supply is also gradually increasing. The secondary water supply mode has become a common water supply mode in cities. Currently, traditional water supply methods are commonly used, which have problems such as high water supply sources, high operating and maintenance costs of pressurized water supply equipment, large land occupation of pump rooms, and unstable water quality of secondary water supply. Therefore, its safety and water quality are directly related to the safe operation of residents and urban infrastructure, as well as the sustainable development of the city. Therefore, if not regulated and maintained in a timely manner, it will inevitably cause serious water quality pollution, and the remote monitoring system for secondary water supply can monitor water quality safety issues in real time.

2、 Problems Faced

1. The water quality and quantity of secondary water supply are directly related to the pressure and water pressure of secondary water supply. When the water supply pressure is unstable, it can cause serious water quality problems, which require timely regulation and maintenance.

2. The inspection of equipment is very difficult, and most residential properties do not have dedicated staff. They can only conduct basic inspections of the equipment and cannot determine whether there is any potential danger. Therefore, they need to rely on local professional teams to conduct regular inspections and maintenance work. This makes it difficult to find potential dangers in the shortest possible time and intervene before doing anything, Avoid malfunctions before they occur.

3. The after-sales work is very difficult. If there is a problem with the equipment, technical personnel need to rush to the site as soon as possible in order to handle it urgently. If an emergency occurs and cannot be rushed to the site as soon as possible, it will have a significant impact on the supply of domestic water.

4. The operation and maintenance intensity is high. In the traditional operation and maintenance mode, there are relatively strict requirements for the inspection, after-sales, emergency response, and duty system of the operation and maintenance team, and it is necessary to understand the operation of the equipment at the first time.

5. According to the regulatory requirements of the water management department, with the deepening of information technology reform, administrative departments in various regions have established water supervision platforms, requiring real-time uploading of operational data of relevant water supply equipment to the supervision platform.

3、 Solution

After the gateway is connected to the touch screen or PLC water supply equipment, the staff of the dispatching center can remotely monitor the working conditions of the secondary water supply equipment in the community through the cloud platform, find the faults in time, and improve the quality of water supply service. The remote online water quality monitoring system can use information technology to conduct real-time and automatic collection and analysis of water quality data and provide the display of water quality data.

4、 Applied functions

1. Cloud configuration visualization

The operating status of the equipment is displayed in the form of configuration screens, which can provide a more intuitive view of the real-time operating status of the equipment. Remote control of the equipment can also be carried out, achieving visual management of on-site equipment. Users can conduct remote inspections through computers or mobile phones, and can intuitively and vividly understand the working status of devices in real-time anytime, anywhere.

2. Work order operation and maintenance

Users can quickly submit repair orders on the app, and the operations team will assign employees to maintain and maintain them, and save them on the platform. The maintenance team can also develop inspection plans and arrange dedicated personnel to inspect and repair specific equipment, and keep them in archives, which can greatly improve the efficiency of maintenance.

3. Remote monitoring

Capable of real-time monitoring of equipment parameters and real-time grasp of equipment operation status, including temperature, pressure, water pressure, etc. By collecting camera data, the on-site situation of the secondary water supply pump station can be viewed in real-time to prevent losses caused by sudden accidents. Engineers can also remotely upload and download PLC programs, perform remote programming and debugging operations anytime and anywhere.

4. Fault alarm

Once a malfunction occurs during the monitoring process, it will automatically sound an alarm and notify the user in a timely manner; When abnormal situations occur, the system will remind users through SMS, WeChat, apps, and other means.

5、 Value of the plan

The secondary water supply monitoring system refers to the integration of the original water supply pump and pump room equipment through the network in the secondary water supply system, achieving the remote monitoring, remote control, monitoring system, and water quality monitoring of parameters such as secondary water supply pressure and water pressure. Implemented query and management of time, date, location, and device name. Through the industrial edge computing gateway, the secondary water supply booster pump station in the community is remotely monitored by PLC to monitor and collect water level, pressure, flow, pump start and stop and other data for the control center and relevant departments to analyze and make decisions, so as to improve work efficiency and ensure water supply quality. To achieve the integration of unmanned, remote monitoring, and management control, greatly improve the automation level of water supply equipment, improve work efficiency, and ensure safe and reliable water supply. The gateway can upload real-time on-site data to cloud platforms and mobile apps for configuration monitoring and data control, and can provide alarm reminders, reducing a lot of manpower and material waste.
