With the continuous advancement of information technology and the deepening of human-centered service concepts, traditional libraries can no longer meet people's demands for convenience and intelligence. A smart IoT library is an application scenario that uses a series of intelligent library systems and supporting technologies to improve service efficiency and user experience—providing readers with a digital, intelligent, and comfortable reading space.

The lighting, air conditioning, self-service book return machines, e-readers, and book query terminals required for daily library operations consume substantial amounts of energy—making up a major portion of library operating costs. To build a greener, more efficient, and more sustainable library operating system, WideIOT offers a smart library energy consumption monitoring and optimization management system solution. It aims to achieve comprehensive monitoring, precise analysis, and efficient management of library energy consumption through intelligent means—effectively reducing energy costs and improving energy utilization efficiency.

By deploying WideIOT industrial smart gateways in the power distribution rooms of various library zones, the system collects real-time data from smart electricity meters—such as power consumption, voltage, current, and wattage—and integrates it into cloud platforms or host systems. This enables energy consumption monitoring, visualized management, abnormal alerting, and energy-saving analysis for lighting, air conditioning, ventilation, elevators, and reading areas—providing comprehensive, convenient, and reliable application support for energy-saving management.

Functions

The gateway collects smart meter data and connects to cloud platforms or host systems via 5G/4G/Wi-Fi/Ethernet—ensuring the security and stability of data acquisition and transmission.

The platform intuitively displays energy consumption across different library zones in the form of reports and trend charts—making it easy for management personnel to understand energy distribution and changing trends.

Configurable alarm rules enable automatic alerts for abnormal energy consumption—such as lighting left on after closing hours or air conditioning faults—with notifications sent via WeChat, SMS, or email.

Management personnel can better identify peak energy consumption periods and high-consumption locations, allowing them to take measures to capture greater energy-saving opportunities and support continuous optimization of library energy management.
