Wireless data collection and online visualization – efficient maintenance, reliable operation
The WaterScope IoT sewage pumping station monitoring system is a modern, wireless data collection solution that enables real-time monitoring of the operation, pressure values, and water levels of pumping stations. The system transmits data to the user using LoRaWAN or NB-IoT technology, supporting operation with online visualization and automatic reporting. Zalavíz Zrt. an innovative wireless metering system was introduced in the municipality of Zalaapáti to provide accurate, real-time data to help the utility improve operational efficiency. The system provides instant visibility of consumption data and allows a rapid response to changes in the network, reducing water losses.
Object:
To increase the operational reliability of sewage lift stations, optimize maintenance costs, and predict failures with a smart, cloud-based system.
The challenge
- Difficulties in detecting failures and flooding in a timely manner
- High energy consumption
- Limited possibilities for predicting maintenance needs
- Monitoring of different locations that are difficult to access
- No adequate data visualization and alarm logic for operational deviations
- Risk of downtime and high maintenance costs
Our solution
- Continuous monitoring based on pump operating time, power consumption, pressure values and levels
- Flood detection with sensor – warning when water level rises
- Data transmission to cloud system via LoRaWAN or NB-IoT connection
- Real-time, customizable data display, even on mobile devices
- Trend analysis-based and threshold-based alarm logic
- Preventive maintenance support – prediction of possible failures
- Integration of other transfer pumps and external (e.g. meteorological) data for operational analysis
- Reports and exportable data to support decision-making
System features:
- Real-time data transmission via LoRaWAN/NB-IoT connection
- Customizable online visualization
- Trend analysis-based alarms in case of threshold values or malfunctions
- Maintenance prediction
- Integration of other transfer pumps or meteorological data
- Accessible on mobile devices, protected by authorization
The results
- Failures can be predicted with high accuracy
- The data can be used to achieve more optimal operation
- Improved energy efficiency
- Longer downtimes and flooding can be avoided
- Automated reporting (xls, csv) in daily, weekly, and monthly breakdowns
