In an era where global sustainability goals, rising energy costs, and environmental concerns are driving industry transformation, clean heating has become a priority for governments, enterprises, and institutions worldwide. Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) — as high-efficiency energy conversion devices — efficiently meet heating demands for production and daily life by converting low-grade heat into high-grade heat with minimal electricity consumption. They have emerged as a key enabler for achieving carbon neutrality and advancing the transition to green heating.
Aligned with international initiatives to promote energy-efficient and low-carbon technologies, ASHPs are increasingly adopted in public buildings such as schools, hospitals, hotels, and office buildings, replacing traditional gas-fired boilers and direct electric heating systems. However, many organizations still face significant challenges in managing their ASHP systems effectively:
Key Challenges in ASHP System Management
- Inefficient Equipment Oversight: Most ASHPs operate as standalone devices without network connectivity, relying on manual inspections. This leads to heavy workloads, lack of data retention, delayed fault detection, and difficulty in optimizing maintenance — resulting in low management efficiency.
- Inadequate Energy Management: Traditional energy management models lack refined monitoring and management tools, making it impossible to track real-time energy consumption across zones and equipment. This hinders targeted energy-saving optimizations, leading to severe waste and low equipment energy efficiency.
- Disconnected Data Ecosystem: Operational data, energy consumption data, and maintenance records are scattered across disparate systems, failing to form a unified analytical framework. Decision-makers struggle to gain a holistic view of system performance and energy usage patterns, limiting data-driven strategies for long-term optimization.

The data is securely transmitted to the cloud platform via high-speed, stable 5G/4G/WiFi networks, supported by industry-standard protocols such as Modbus and MQTT.
WideIOT’s solution empowers organizations to build an energy-efficient, unattended "Smart Heating System" with comprehensive capabilities for remote monitoring, proactive alerts, efficient management, flexible control, and in-depth data analysis.
Core Functions of WideIOT's Solution
1. Real-Time Remote Monitoring
Managers can monitor key operational parameters of ASHPs, water pumps, valves, and other equipment in real time via desktop or mobile devices. Parameters such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, power consumption, heat output, and electricity usage are displayed through intuitive dashboards and data reports — enabling instant access to system status anytime, anywhere.
2. Precision Energy Management
The solution provides real-time monitoring, statistical analysis, and visualization of energy consumption — including total system energy use, individual equipment consumption, and total heating output. It generates detailed energy reports and trend curves, helping identify wasteful links and formulate targeted energy-saving measures to optimize efficiency.
3. Proactive Fault Alerts
By setting up intelligent fault detection rules based on real-time operational data, the system triggers instant alerts via WeChat, SMS, or email when abnormal parameters are detected. This enables managers to quickly respond to potential issues, prevent fault escalation, reduce energy waste, and minimize downtime.
4. Secure Remote Control
Authorized users can remotely control ASHPs, water pumps, and valves through the cloud platform — including starting/stopping equipment and adjusting valve positions. This allows for flexible remote regulation of the heating system, significantly improving management efficiency and reducing on-site operational costs.
5. Customizable SCADA Dashboards
The platform offers a flexible configuration tool that allows administrators to customize monitoring interfaces and display content. This enables the creation of personalized SCADA dashboards to visualize real-time equipment status, process parameters, and alert lists — providing a clear, holistic view of system operations.
6. Data-Driven Analytics & Reporting
The solution supports the generation of comprehensive reports, including equipment operation logs, energy consumption summaries, and fault statistics. These data insights enable managers to identify operational patterns, refine maintenance strategies, and make science-based decisions for long-term system optimization.
