A smart building is a modern building format that comprehensively upgrades operations, management, and services through the support of digital and intelligent technologies. At its core is the building automation system—an integrated building management and control system that connects numerous distributed equipment systems within a building, such as HVAC, water supply and drainage, power supply and distribution, elevators, and heating, into a single platform. It provides centralized monitoring, management, and decentralized control over equipment operation, safety conditions, energy usage, and energy-saving management.

To address this, WideIOT offers an IoT solution that connects to the PLCs of smart building control systems. By connecting industrial smart gateways to PLCs, the system enables data acquisition, remote monitoring, remote management, maintenance management, and data analytics—providing reliable support for enhancing smart building management standards and digitalization levels.

1. Water Supply and Drainage Systems
Water supply and drainage systems are indispensable components of any building, encompassing water supply, drainage, and fire water systems. By connecting to WideIOT industrial smart gateways, the system enables real-time monitoring of water tank and reservoir levels, pump operating status, and supply/drainage flow and pressure. When abnormalities occur, alerts are automatically triggered—enabling timely management and control measures to ensure safe and stable water usage for building occupants.

2. Lighting Systems
PLC-controlled lighting systems can automatically switch lights on and off at scheduled times to meet lighting requirements throughout the day. By connecting to industrial smart gateways, the system collects data on switch states, switching times, and energy consumption, and aggregates it into the smart building platform—enabling real-time monitoring of lighting systems on each floor, rapid identification of faulty equipment, and implementation of scientific, rational energy-saving strategies for smart lighting.

3. Air Conditioning Systems
Equipment such as air handling units, fresh air units, and variable air volume units are major energy consumers in buildings. By collecting and monitoring air conditioning operating conditions in real time—including return air temperature, return air humidity, and compressor and dehumidifier operating status—the system enables rational adjustment of air conditioning operating strategies and well-planned maintenance schedules. This not only ensures safe and efficient equipment operation but also achieves energy savings, improved efficiency, and reduced operating costs.
