In a certain region characterized by hilly and mountainous terrain, water resources are abundant on the hilltops, and the reservoir storage is sufficient. However, due to steep slopes and rugged terrain with crisscrossing gullies, it is difficult for water to flow across mountains and valleys, resulting in inadequate irrigation for many farmlands and negatively impacting local farmers' income. Digging separate channels to bring water to each farmland would be costly and time-consuming. Therefore, local authorities have deployed multiple integrated pumping stations across the mountains to overcome topographical constraints and ensure a stable water supply for farmland irrigation.

These pumping stations are now required to be centrally connected to the local service provider’s operation and maintenance management platform to enable remote monitoring and precise maintenance. WideIOT provides an efficient and reliable IoT solution. By deploying industrial intelligent gateways to connect to the PLCs of the pumping stations, data such as pump operating parameters, flow rate, and water level can be collected in real time and transmitted to the operation and maintenance management platform via 4G networks. This enables remote monitoring, management, alerting, control, maintenance, work order handling, and other functions, thereby strengthening equipment management and further ensuring the safety and stability of farmland irrigation water supply.

Benefits

Intelligent Management: Operators can view real-time data, equipment status, and alarm information, and perform remote control operations. This improves management efficiency and decision-making accuracy while reducing fault response time.

Data Value Enhancement: The collected data provides a basis for optimizing pumping station operation and maintenance. Through data analysis and mining, patterns and issues can be identified, guiding pumping station design, retrofitting, and upgrades. It also helps predict equipment lifespan and develop predictive maintenance plans.

Emergency Response Improvement: In the event of emergencies, the system responds quickly. For example, during heavy rainfall, water levels and pumping station operations are monitored in real time. If water exceeds the warning level, drainage is automatically activated, and operators can adjust parameters remotely, ensuring the safe operation of pumping stations and meeting farmland irrigation needs.
