Internet of things creates the core competitiveness of the water industry

Abstract: The Internet of Things is an important part of a new generation of information technology. As the name implies, the Internet of Things is the Internet connected by objects. It computerizes the production and operation information of the objects and reorganizes them into an online network to serve the people who need the information. It has two meanings: First, the core and foundation of the Internet of Things is still the Internet, which is an extended network based on the Internet; Second, its user end extends to any item and item for information exchange and communication. The Internet of Things is seen as an extension of the Internet.

At the 6th China (International) Water Affairs Summit Forum in 2011, Dr. Hu Qing, Director of International Cooperation of China Environmental Protection Water Investment Co., Ltd. brought a new concept of “Internet of Things” to everyone, and proposed to use the Internet of Things in the water treatment industry. The proposal, through analysis of the industry situation and reasonable prospects, opened a new perspective for the audience in the field of water treatment.

Dr. Hu Qing introduced that in the United States, in 2009, Obama identified IBM’s “Smart Earth” (sensor network Internet) as a national strategy, which mainly includes electricity, medical care, cities, transportation, supply chain, and banking. Japan also formulated a national informatization strategy in 2004 to vigorously develop e-government and electronic local governments to promote the electronicization of medical, health, and education. The Internet of Things seems to have become another major information revolution after the Internet. In China, the National Beacon Standards Commission established a sensor network standardization working group and industry alliance in September 2009. The development of the Internet of Things has also been included in the 2010 development plan. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has promoted the formulation and industrialization of the Internet of Things standard. process.

In recent years, the demand for information management in sewage treatment plants and stations has been increasing. The current functions of automatic control systems have limitations, production management needs to be further strengthened, and experience management needs to be improved scientifically. How to save long-term production data, how to effectively manage decentralized plant stations, and how to make full use of production and operation data also forced the industry to seek new breakthroughs. It can be said that having an advanced water operation system has become a symbol of the core competitiveness of a water company.

Dr. Hu Qing analyzed that establishing the Internet of Things has three major purposes. First, in order to build the core competitiveness of the water industry, improve the management and operation level of its main business, and strive to create technologies and standards with its own intellectual property rights; secondly, from the overall perspective of the operation of wastewater treatment plants, design and establish wastewater treatment plant operations. The management system improves the remote analysis and diagnosis capabilities of the data center of operations. Finally, it can manage risks in a timely manner through a group management model. At the same time, it can significantly improve the stability and intelligence of wastewater treatment plants, and reduce the operating energy consumption of wastewater treatment plants. Corporate benefits.
