1. Background Analysis

Filter presses play a critical role in wastewater treatment, and their operational performance directly affects treatment effectiveness. However, traditional methods of monitoring filter presses come with significant drawbacks: high labor costs, low monitoring efficiency, and inaccurate data. These issues make it difficult for treatment facilities to achieve precise and efficient operations and maintenance (O&M) management.

2. Solution Overview

To address these challenges, WideIOT has developed a smart monitoring and maintenance system for filter presses that integrates data acquisition, intelligent monitoring, and O&M management. By connecting to the filter press PLC via industrial IoT gateways, the system collects real-time operational data—such as voltage, current, and flow rate—and combines it with fault warning, remote control, and remote maintenance capabilities. This effectively reduces O&M costs while improving wastewater treatment efficiency. In addition, the solution provides equipment manufacturers and water utility managers with visual data analytics tools to further enhance treatment processes and management performance.

3. System Advantages

Real-Time Data Acquisition – Connects to the filter press PLC via IoT gateways to collect real-time operating data—including voltage, current, and flow rate—enabling precise equipment monitoring.

Intelligent Data Analytics – Leverages big data analytics principles to visualize large volumes of data, delivering intuitive and actionable insights to users.

Automatic Fault Alerts – Based on configurable alarm rules and notification methods, the system automatically triggers fault alerts for the filter press, sending notifications via WeChat, SMS, or email.

Mobile Accessibility – Through smartphones or PCs, users can view equipment operating status, fault logs, and maintenance records from anywhere—enabling remote monitoring and management control.

Remote Control and Maintenance – Supports remote start/stop control of off-site equipment, as well as remote PLC programming, debugging, and program upload/download from anywhere.
