A district urban heating system typically includes four main components: the heat source plant, heat exchange stations, the heat distribution network, and the end-users. As heating networks continue to expand, the key focus for energy conservation and emission reduction in heating operations has become how to centrally supervise equipment, improve heating efficiency, optimize asset utilization, rapidly respond to equipment failures, and enhance user experience.

Advanced IoT technology enables a comprehensive understanding of the heating system's operational status, providing heating departments with accurate and effective data to improve thermal energy efficiency and ensure the safe and stable operation of equipment.
