Secondary water supply systems play a critical role in ensuring reliable water access for residential communities, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities.

However, as pump stations become more distributed, traditional operation methods based on manual inspections are becoming inefficient and difficult to scale. Water utilities need a smarter approach to remotely monitor equipment status, improve maintenance efficiency, and ensure stable water supply operations.

Hongdian provides an intelligent pump station remote monitoring solution powered by the H6131 Industrial IoT Gateway, enabling real-time data acquisition, remote connectivity, and centralized device management for distributed water infrastructure.

Background

Traditional pump station management faces several challenges:

• Distributed pump stations require frequent on-site inspections, increasing labor and operational costs
  
• Equipment abnormalities are difficult to detect quickly without real-time monitoring
  
• Lack of centralized visibility makes it challenging to manage multiple pump stations efficiently
  
• Different industrial devices and PLC systems require flexible communication solutions
  
• Manual maintenance processes reduce response speed and operational efficiency

These challenges impact water supply reliability, maintenance efficiency, and long-term operational costs.

Solution

Hongdian delivers a smart water pump station remote monitoring solution powered by the H6131 Industrial IoT Gateway.

The H6131 connects with existing PLC controllers and industrial equipment at pump stations, collecting real-time operating data and transmitting information to the customer’s monitoring platform through reliable 4G connectivity.

The solution enables centralized visibility and remote management of distributed pump stations while reducing dependence on manual inspections.

• The H6131 supports multiple industrial communication protocols and connects with PLC systems from major manufacturers, including Siemens, Mitsubishi, and Schneider Electric
  
• RS232/RS485 serial ports and Ethernet interfaces enable reliable data acquisition from water pumps and control systems
  
• Real-time equipment data such as pump status, operating hours, current, voltage, and energy consumption can be collected and transmitted remotely
  
• Operators can remotely monitor equipment status and perform device configuration through the customer platform or internal network
  
• Sandora enables centralized management of deployed Hongdian gateways, including remote monitoring, configuration, and firmware maintenance

This solution helps water utilities improve operational efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance water supply reliability.
