Zhejiang Mobile Smart Toilet Architecture
The architecture of Zhejiang Mobile's smart toilets follows a closed-loop logic of 'Sensing - Transmission - Platform - Service', divided into four levels: the sensing layer, transmission layer, platform layer, and service layer, as detailed below:
The sensing layer serves as the data acquisition foundation for smart toilets, using various sensors and monitoring devices to obtain real-time operational status of public toilets. For example, toilet stall occupancy sensors accurately identify available stalls; air quality sensors (such as those for ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, temperature, humidity, and PM2.5) monitor environmental indicators; pedestrian traffic counters record usage frequency; and water, electricity, energy consumption, and consumable level monitoring devices track resource usage. These data transform public toilets from a 'black box' state to a 'transparent' management model, providing raw support for subsequent analysis.
The transmission layer is responsible for data interaction and sharing, relying on internal local area networks or operator networks (such as 5G) for efficient communication. Its core functions include remotely monitoring public toilet usage, equipment status, and cleanliness; and supporting users in querying nearby public toilet locations and real-time occupancy information through mobile applications. The interconnection of the transmission layer ensures the timeliness and accuracy of data flow, providing communication support for management decisions.
The platform layer, based on cloud computing technology, integrates public toilet data across regions and industries, providing intelligent support through real-time processing and in-depth mining. For example, by analyzing historical usage data to predict peak times, optimizing cleaning staff scheduling; enabling remote equipment monitoring and fault warnings to reduce maintenance costs; and generating visual reports and analysis models to assist managers in making scientific decisions. The platform layer is the 'brain' of smart toilets, driving management from experience-driven to data-driven.
The service layer provides intelligent solutions for operation, usage, and management through cloud management models. For managers, it offers functions such as revenue statistics, fault reporting, and dynamic triggering of cleaning work orders (on-demand dispatching); for users, it provides interactive functions such as smart guidance screens, mini-program toilet navigation, SOS emergency calls, and feedback systems. The service layer achieves the core value of smart public toilets by enhancing user experience and management efficiency.
Additional Industry Characteristics: The penetration rate of prefabricated steel structure equipment rooms in 5G toilets exceeds 62%. These rooms use hot-dip galvanized steel components with a design life of no less than 15 years, supporting 5G module access and real-time data return from ≥6 types of sensors. The core features of smart public toilets include real-time sensing, data-driven management, precise cleaning, high-quality environments, and humanized services, reflecting the development trend of 'more thorough sensing, more comprehensive interconnection, deeper intelligence, and wiser decision-making'.
