Remonde Case | Lightweight Deployment Solves O&M Challenges for Rural Sewage Treatment

Challenges and Requirements

A sewage treatment enterprise operating rural sewage treatment projects faced the following pain points in daily operations, as most sites are located in remote and scattered areas:

• Slow response: Equipment faults were detected only through manual inspections, with an average resolution time of over 24 hours.
• Disorganized management: O&M records relied entirely on paper ledgers, resulting in data loss and difficult traceability.
• Technical shortage: Frontline teams lacked professional O&M personnel, requiring on-site vendor visits for equipment parameter adjustment and program upgrades.
• High costs: Annual per-capita O&M travel distance exceeded 3,000 kilometers, with hidden costs such as transportation and accommodation accounting for 35% of total expenses.

To address issues of inadequate management and difficult maintenance, the enterprise urgently needed to establish a digital remote O&M system.

Solutions

The solution is built on Reacher gateway with data collection and edge computing capabilities. Without disrupting the operation of existing sewage treatment sites, the gateways automatically collect equipment operating data and key production metrics and upload them to Remonde Maintenance Cloud, enabling centralized monitoring, data visualization, fault alarm, report analysis and maintenance work order management across scattered rural sewage sites.

Applications

Centralized Equipment Map Monitoring

All scattered sewage treatment sites are displayed on a map on the platform, with real-time status indicators (online, offline, fault) for each site, facilitating centralized monitoring and O&M personnel dispatching.

Large-screen Visualization

Reacher gateways collect key data including treatment volume, water quality, liquid level and power consumption, as well as operating current and status of each device, and upload data to the platform in real time. The configuration large screen displays overall operation performance including project energy consumption, treated water volume, fault statistics, O&M statistics and detailed device data.

Equipment Fault Alarm

With configurable alarm rules on the platform, alarms for equipment faults, data exceedances and unauthorized access are pushed to O&M personnel or managers in real time via SMS, WeChat, email and DingTalk, with alarm records displayed and logged on the platform simultaneously.

Remote Debugging & Program Upload/Download

Supports remote debugging, program upload/download and online monitoring for PLCs, touch panels and other devices from most major industrial control brands, solving issues of insufficient technical personnel and high costs from frequent on-site business trips.

Multi-terminal Synchronous Access

The platform is available via WeChat Mini Program and mobile APP, allowing users to view and control production equipment anytime and anywhere on mobile phones or tablets, enabling data statistical analysis, remote monitoring and remote operation.

Benefits

With Remonde's remote O&M solution for rural sewage treatment, the enterprise has transformed its projects from "extensive management" to "precision intelligent control", significantly improving O&M efficiency and reducing operation and maintenance costs.

• Improved O&M efficiency: Annual inspection frequency per site reduced by 50%; fault resolution time improved by 80%, shifting from passive response to proactive warning.
• Cost optimization: O&M costs reduced by 40%; energy consumption cut by 15% through real-time monitoring of operating parameters and optimized start-stop logic for fans and pumps.
• Management upgrade: Established a professional operation management system through transparent supervision and standardized process operations.
