Smart Secondary Water Supply Pump Rooms
The IG902 edge computing gateway connects onsite PLCs to the cloud, collects and processes data locally, and uploads it to the cloud, ensuring clean, high-quality drinking water for urban residents.
Background
A local government office issued a plan to construct secondary water supply facilities to strengthen the safety of the “last mile” water supply, improve water quality, and enhance public security and well-being. To achieve unified construction and management of secondary water supply, ensure compliance with water pressure and quality standards, and guarantee safety, a local water group aims to improve water supply quality and user experience through innovative technologies and services.
Specifically, the group seeks to monitor equipment operation 24/7, track real-time water quality data, and detect equipment abnormalities and water quality issues promptly. This will ensure a safe and reliable water supply for residents.
Customer Requirements
Real-time Monitoring and Data Control
Achieve remote monitoring and management of multiple pump rooms distributed across communities, enable real-time observation of operational status and water quality, increasing management efficiency, thus ensuring high-quality water supply services for residents.
Prompt Alerts, Lasting Water Quality
Online warning services enable maintenance staff to promptly detect water quality anomalies, thereby preventing contamination or deterioration of water quality and effectively safeguarding water quality.
Intelligent Analysis for Better Sustainability
Achieve intelligent diagnosis of the water supply system’s operational status through in-depth data exploration and analysis. This helps improve decision-making, reducing resource waste, and facilitates optimization of the water supply system.
Solution
InHand’s solution consists of PLCs, inverters, HMIs, a video monitoring system, the InHand switch ISE1005D, the IG902 edge computing gateway, and a remote platform for secondary water supply.
PLCs, HMIs, and cameras in the pump room connect to the IG902 via ISE1005D. The IG902 collects thousands of equipment operation variables, including pH levels, turbidity, and pump operating time, at intervals of seconds.
Collected data is processed at the edge for calculations and water quality alarms. Processed data is sent to the cloud (AWS, Azure, or private clouds) via 4G or wired networks. The cloud platform allows remote monitoring of pump rooms and responds to control commands. Maintenance staff can use a mobile app for real-time status updates. Malfunction data is sent to the dispatch center, enabling remote issue resolution. The IG902 in different pump rooms can be remotely upgraded and configured using the Device Manager, and the InConnect VPN channel enables remote PLC debugging and updates.
