During mining operations, enterprises must carry out reasonable production and business activities throughout the extraction cycle—not only deploying various intelligent mechanical devices for safe and efficient mining, but also ensuring the safety and stability of water and electricity supply for on-site personnel.

As indispensable infrastructure for mineral extraction, processing, and personnel daily activities, the safe and stable operation of mining pump stations directly affects the production efficiency and personnel safety of the entire mine. However, because these stations are often located in mountainous areas, the distance between water sources and points of use is considerable. Complex terrain and elevation differences frequently make water supply inconvenient. Combined with harsh mountainous environments, pump stations face higher fault risks and high manual staffing costs. Mining pump stations therefore require more intelligent, networked management systems to cope with complex and variable operating conditions, reduce equipment failures, prevent safety incidents, and better guarantee normal water supply for on-site personnel.

To address this, WideIOT offers an industrial IoT solution based on PLC data acquisition gateways. By deploying PLC data acquisition gateways at pump station sites, the gateways can connect to PLCs for data acquisition and provide wireless connectivity—linking to the pump station operation and maintenance management platform via 5G/4G wireless networks. This enables real-time monitoring, SCADA visualization, remote control, fault alerting, remote maintenance, and maintenance management of pump station equipment via PC and mobile devices. Data analytics are then applied for continuous optimization—helping improve pump station management standards and response capabilities while ensuring a safe and stable water supply.

Functions

Enables round-the-clock, comprehensive monitoring of pump station equipment. Through electronic maps and data dashboards, users can quickly grasp information such as equipment location distribution, operating status, process parameters, alarm frequency, and maintenance records.

Through intelligent alarm rules, the system identifies early signs of equipment faults in advance and automatically issues warning signals for abnormal data. Notifications are sent via WeChat, SMS, or email, with fault diagnosis support provided.

Enables remote start/stop control of pumps and valves, allowing rapid intervention in emergency situations—ensuring safe and stable pump station operation and preventing larger incidents and losses.

Enables online management of electronic maintenance work orders, ensuring that scheduled inspections, emergency maintenance, and other tasks are carried out efficiently and in an orderly manner—avoiding idle or occupied resources.
