December 16, 2025 — This year, the Hualien Branch of the Taiwan Port Corporation completed the expansion of the functions of the smart energy management system, adding a “smart water pressure monitoring system” to integrate the water pressure monitoring data of the port area into the existing platform, and establish real-time monitoring and automatic early warning mechanisms to improve the visibility and response efficiency of the port water supply management.
The water use in the Hualien port area covers ship berthing, storage sites and various port facilities, with a wide range of pipelines and large load fluctuations. Since 114, Hualien Port Branch has installed digital water pressure gauges at 6 major water supply nodes and completed integration with the smart energy management system, so that water pressure information can be displayed centrally, improving the situation of water leakage that could not be known in real time in the past.
The intelligent water pressure monitoring system integrates data from 6 monitoring endpoints to provide real-time water pressure status, trend analysis, and anomaly identification, helping management units improve daily monitoring efficiency. Features include:
- Real-time numerical display of water pressure: The water pressure at each monitoring point is updated every 5 minutes, including the main line and terminal terminals, so that the management can quickly grasp the current situation.
- Single-day water pressure change trend: Graphically presents water pressure fluctuations throughout the day to interpret load changes and identify possible sources of anomalies.
- Abnormal identification and alarm notification: When the system detects that the water pressure is abnormally low, that is, the current water pressure gauge reading is lower than the original reading of 0.5 and lasts for 60 minutes, an alarm will be issued on the platform interface and LINE push to assist personnel in early inspection and repair and shorten the processing time.
This introduction allows water pressure monitoring, meter data, and energy management to be integrated into a single platform, reducing the burden of cross-system operations and improving infrastructure management efficiency. In the future, monitoring points will be expanded and warning mechanisms will be adjusted according to usage demand to improve water supply resilience and ensure that the water supply in the Hualien Port area remains stable.
