Urban water supply pipelines serve as vital lifelines for urban areas. However, it faces various challenges due to their extensive distribution, complex environment, and multiple nodes. In the end maintenance personnel encounters difficulty when locating fault points, leading to prolonged water outages.
This is why continuous monitoring of water pressure and flow using a water supply monitoring solution is essential. It enables water distribution companies to make real-time adjustments and optimize water distribution. Additionally, it helps identify potential issues before they become significant problems.
This is one of the main reason why Robustel comes up with urban water supply pipeline monitoring solution, a smart water management solution which is the key to address urban water supply distribution issues and challenges.
The Solution to Water Supply Pipeline Challenges
To ensure continuous water supply and to effectively manage the urban water supply pipelines, Robustel designed a comprehensive utility management solution to address the challenges faced by water distribution companies. The controller (RTU) of the pipeline monitoring end is connected to water pressure, flow sensor, and solenoid valve through the line.
Then, this RTU is connected to Robustel industrial IoT gateway through the RS-485 serial port. By connecting the RTU to the gateway, it can collect vital information such as water pressure, flow rate and solenoid valve status. Then, it transmits the data to the monitoring center through 4G LTE cellular network making it provide a timely and reliable data.
