The digital economy is rising strongly and has become the main driving force for future economic development. How to obtain the maximum benefits through digital transformation has become the most concerned issue in various industries. The water industry, as a traditional industry in my country, is also ushering in a period of rapid development in digital transformation. How to use new technologies to realize digital transformation centered on innovation is an important way for the future development of water affairs.
What is smart water?
Smart water is actually the informatization and digital transformation of the water industry. To understand smart water, you must first understand the water industry. Generally speaking, the water industry refers to the industrial chain formed by raw water, water supply, water conservation, drainage, sewage treatment and water resource recovery. Smart water services refer to the network-based, platform-based, security-based, next-generation technologies such as big data, AI, 5G, and top-level planning to realize the digital construction of the water industry chain.
For example, access to raw water. Raw water generally refers to river water, reservoir water and lake water. Raw water must undergo a series of purification treatments before it can become finished water that meets national drinking water standards, that is, tap water. One of the ways to obtain raw water is to pump water from water sources that are lower than the water plant.
Under normal circumstances, the water plant will set up a water pump room to control water intake by controlling the opening, stopping and selection of pump valves. However, the opening and closing and selection of pump valves often have a great impact on energy consumption. In order to reduce energy consumption, the water plant can introduce technology to monitor the energy consumption of a single pump, import the energy consumption data into the background for analysis, and design an appropriate energy-saving model based on the data analysis results, and integrate it into the control program. In this way, the purpose of reducing energy consumption can be achieved.
The challenge of smart water affairs?
In recent years, although our country has achieved a lot of achievements in the construction of smart water affairs, there is still a long way to go before the requirements of "making up for shortcomings and strengthening supervision". The problems existing in the construction of smart water affairs in my country are as follows:
1. The underlying perception is weak
my country's smart water informatization construction is still unable to comprehensively perceive and monitor all aspects of water resources. In the monitoring of small and medium rivers and reservoirs and other scenarios, there is a lack of relevant monitoring measures. The current business work mainly relies on manual patrol and visual inspection for identification.
2. There are many "information islands"
my country's current smart water information system still adopts a decentralized construction model. There are many "information islands" and internal and external information are not fully connected. Moreover, the coverage of business applications is not wide, and the level of intelligence is not high enough. Many businesses still need to be handled offline, and there are certain limitations in information flow.
Challenge Responses?
Regarding the problems existing in the construction of smart water services in my country, on the one hand, new technologies represented by big data, 5G, and AI can be used to make up for shortcomings in informatization, accelerate data integration in the water sector, and breed more water applications. On the other hand, low-code and other rapid development tools, such as Magma, can be used to reduce application development costs, accelerate innovation, and quickly respond to actual needs.
Jiema is a rapid development platform under Yuanshui Technology. Developers can complete the construction of front-end pages through "drag and drop" and other visual editing interactive methods, and complete data access by configuring java services, databases, and third parties. The product has rich built-in components (big screen, Web, 3D, map), etc., and is specialized in 3D digital twin and geographic information display, which is highly suitable for the display needs of smart large screens in various industries. At the same time, the product supports expansion capabilities such as component customization and service customization, with good scalability, meeting the display needs of industry-specific scenarios, and supporting application development with different coding levels of no-code/low-code/multi-code.
Since the establishment of Jiema, it has successfully supported the delivery of several smart water industry projects, creating value for customers in reducing costs and increasing efficiency. During the development process, Jiema has accumulated development experience and industry templates, enabling tens of thousands of customers to develop quickly. This article extracts some of the applications/templates of Magma Smart Water and shares them with you.
Magma Application Sharing—Smart Water Big Data Label Management System
During the operation of the water plant, there have always been the following problems: First, the data of water customers is independent and scattered, which requires multiple systems to grasp the information of all customers. Due to the poor flow of customer information and data, related Q&A services are slow to respond and of low quality. Secondly, in the grid management, the grid staff lacks the grasp of the user's situation, and cannot adjust the service strategy according to the customer's situation in time.
The smart water big data label management system can label and process water service data into various label data through functional modules such as image query and water supply and drainage user label. And according to the business needs in different scenarios, configure visual portraits and display labels by yourself to provide customers with efficient, accurate and high-quality services.
