IOT News

Against the backdrop of increasing demand for intelligent buildings and green operations, buildings serve as core spaces for living, working, and commercial activities. Their equipment operation efficiency, energy control capability, and environmental comfort directly impact operating costs and user experience.

WideIOT deploys industrial IoT gateways with multi‑protocol compatibility and edge computing capabilities. These gateways can collect data from various electromechanical devices, sensors, and meters within a building and unify the data to the cloud. They also support integration with on‑site monitoring platforms or cloud‑based management platforms. This enables a "sensing – analyzing – decision – control" smart operation and maintenance system for buildings, helping achieve digital building operation goals such as energy savings, carbon reduction, extended equipment life, and high management efficiency.

The main types of equipment and data to be collected in a building are as follows:

1. HVAC System

Collects operating status, set temperature, return air temperature, fan frequency, fault alarms, and other parameters from chillers, air handling units (AHUs), and fan coil units (FCUs). Enables intelligent temperature and humidity regulation and energy‑saving control.

2. Water Supply and Drainage System

Collects operating status, start/stop records, flow rate, liquid level, water pressure, and other data from domestic water pumps, drainage pumps, and fire pumps. Helps prevent abnormal conditions such as flooding, dry running, and pipe bursts.

3. Lighting System

Collects switch status, current, power, and other data from floor lighting circuits, public area lighting, landscape lighting, etc. Supports scheduled control, light‑level responsive operation, and energy consumption analysis.

4. Power Distribution System

Collects voltage, current, power factor, power quality, and other parameters from low‑voltage distribution cabinets, lighting distribution panels, UPS units, etc. Ensures electrical safety and energy efficiency optimization.

5. Environmental Sensors

Deploys sensors for temperature, humidity, CO₂, PM2.5, noise, etc. Monitors indoor environmental quality in real time and integrates with fresh air and HVAC systems to improve comfort.

6. Energy Meters

Collects sub‑metered data for water, electricity, gas, heat, etc. Supports building energy sub‑metering, carbon emission calculation, and energy saving diagnostics.

Key Functions

Unified access and remote monitoring of core building equipment (HVAC, water supply/drainage, lighting, elevators, etc.), improving maintenance response speed and system coordination.

Real‑time equipment status monitoring, anomaly alerts, and fault prediction, reducing manual inspection frequency and extending equipment service life.

Real‑time recording, historical query, and trend analysis of multi‑dimensional data (energy consumption, environment, equipment operation), providing data support for energy‑saving retrofits and operational optimization.

Supports closed‑loop management of electronic work orders (create, assign, execute, verify, reject), builds a maintenance knowledge base, and logs operational records and spare parts information, enhancing the standardization of property management.
