Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent washing equipment technology, and in particular to an integrated management method for intelligent washing equipment based on the Internet of Things. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of IoT technology, smart washing equipment has been widely used in hotels, hospitals, textile factories, laundry plants and other scenarios. In order to achieve unified monitoring, scheduling and management of multiple and various types of smart washing equipment, IoT-based integrated management methods for smart washing equipment have emerged. Existing IoT-based integrated management methods for smart laundry equipment suffer from significant shortcomings in terms of technical compatibility and system integration, severely hindering the improvement of management efficiency and the expansion of application scenarios. Specifically: 1. Fragmented protocols and standards: Different brands and models of smart laundry equipment use their own proprietary communication protocols, resulting in inconsistent data formats. This makes it difficult for multiple devices to be uniformly connected to the same management platform, creating data silos and preventing global collaborative management. 2. Difficulty in compatibility between new and old equipment: Older laundry equipment lacks IoT modules and has closed interfaces. To connect it to the existing management system, a dedicated gateway must be deployed or large-scale hardware modifications are required, leading to high costs and issues such as interface incompatibility and unstable data transmission. 3. Complex cross-system integration: The interface standards between the smart laundry equipment management platform and the supporting scenario-based systems are inconsistent, requiring extensive customized development for integration. This results in long development cycles, high maintenance costs, and a high risk of integration failures, making it difficult to achieve data interoperability and closed-loop processes. 4. Poor protocol adaptation flexibility: When adding new laundry equipment or upgrading equipment protocols, the management system needs to be completely restructured or its code modified on a large scale, resulting in poor scalability and an inability to quickly adapt to new equipment and protocols. In summary, it is clear that developing an intelligent washing equipment integration management method that can effectively solve the aforementioned compatibility and integration problems has become an urgent technical need in this field.
