A certain logistics park, primarily engaged in the trade of agricultural and sideline products as well as cold chain transportation, has been facing issues such as inefficient energy management and rising energy costs. The traditional method of manual meter reading has become increasingly problematic. Therefore, the company has requested a digital transformation of the park’s electricity usage to enable centralized monitoring and management, thereby improving energy management efficiency and saving energy.

According to the assessment, electricity consumption in the park mainly comes from the following areas: work zones, permanent shops, mobile stalls, and charging stations (for both e-bikes and electric vehicles). Existing issues include the heavy workload of manual meter reading and slow data aggregation. To address this, WideIOT deploys energy data acquisition gateways that connect to various smart meters. These gateways collect real-time electricity consumption data and transmit it via 4G networks to the park’s electricity metering and management platform, enabling remote monitoring, alerting, management, control, statistics, and analysis.

Key Features

Real-Time Monitoring

Accurately collect real-time electricity usage data from each area (work zones, shops, stalls, and charging stations) and present it through intuitive charts and numbers. Managers can view real-time power usage, energy consumption, and other information at any time, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the park’s electricity usage.

Smart Alerts

Based on preset rules, the platform issues timely warnings for abnormal electricity usage (e.g., exceeding thresholds, power fluctuations, equipment malfunctions, or unusual consumption patterns). Notifications are sent to managers via SMS, email, or instant messaging apps like WeChat.

Efficient Management

Provide managers with remote control tools to turn lights on/off, adjust parameters of refrigeration equipment, and more. Role-based access control ensures that only authorized personnel can operate equipment in specific areas, enhancing the security and standardization of electricity usage management.

Statistical Analysis

Generate daily electricity consumption reports, monthly usage trend charts, and equipment-level energy consumption breakdowns. Managers can use these insights to understand electricity usage patterns and energy distribution, providing a solid basis for energy management decision-making.
