With the continuous slowdown of new business in the water industry, smart water with automation and information as the main line is becoming the only way for the high-quality development of the water industry, and technology and equipment enterprises are gradually becoming an important part of the industrial chain.

With the PLC control system with the international advanced level of high performance, high reliability, high stability and high openness as the carrier, Lanpufeng has deeply ploughed the water industry, accumulated profound experience in the application of water automation, and worked with partners to create competitive advantages and contribute unique value to smart water.

In March 2023, in the “2022 (20th) Water Industry Enterprise Selection” sponsored by E20 Environmental platform, Beijing Lanpufeng Technology Co., Ltd. was awarded the “Leading Enterprise of water supply and drainage equipment”. This honor is the recognition and commendation of Blue Pufeng’s many years of focus on PLC research and development and industrialization, especially in promoting water automation, intelligence and PLC domestic substitution.

 

Devote oneself to entrepreneurship, persistent in the realization of PLC localization replacement

LAN Pufeng was founded in 2013, the main backbone of its entrepreneurial team are graduated from Tsinghua University, long-term work in the field of automation, has more than 20 years of industry experience, but also one of the main pioneers of domestic PLC.

Since its inception, the PLC products independently developed by Blue Pufeng have been aimed at fully replacing imported brands, but the road of domestic breakthrough is not easy to go. Most of the share of the domestic PLC market has been occupied by foreign brands, and only a small part of the small PLC market has been left to domestic brands. Technical barriers, industry barriers, customer barriers, capital barriers, product exclusivity, etc. have become the main bottleneck restricting the development of domestic PLC, and the road to the rise of domestic brands has a long way to go.

Dr. Xu Changrong, general manager of LAN Pufeng and director of the Institute of Embedded Systems and Internet of Things of Tianjin High-end Equipment Research Institute of Tsinghua University, firmly believes that Chinese people must make a difference in the field of PLC, otherwise they will be “stuck” by foreign manufacturers, and enhance the national strategic scientific and technological strength is the mission and responsibility of LAN Pufeng.

With such a mission, LAN Pufeng has worked hard to obtain up to 100 intellectual property rights in the past ten years, including technology patents, software Copyrights, software products, etc., providing a source of power for LAN Pufeng to create domestic high-end PLC with independent technology.

At present, Lanpufeng has hardware platform, software platform, product design and industry application technology, based on the above four types of core technology, developed two types of general PLC products: RPC3000 large PLC, RPC2000 small and medium-sized PLC, as well as a number of industry-specific automation products. The products developed by LAN Pufeng, whether it is performance, quality, reliability, stability, openness, ease of use, etc., have reached the international advanced level, more in line with the application scenarios of Chinese users, more understanding of user needs, and more adapted to the harsh environment on site.

Based on excellent product quality and high level of technical services, Blue Pufeng in just a few years to quickly win the market and customer recognition, in some industrial fields beyond the application effect of imported products, its domestic PLC products are widely used in power, coal, petrochemical, municipal, transportation, environmental protection, energy saving, construction, water conservancy, agriculture and other industries, won the user’s praise.

Power water automation, promote the intelligent upgrading of environmental protection

In recent years, with the policy and implementation of the green low-carbon circular economy, environmental protection industries such as water treatment and atmospheric monitoring have maintained rapid growth, and further strengthened the market demand for automation and intelligence. Since the successful development of RPC2000 small and medium-sized PLC in 2013, Rampufeng has cooperated with leading brands in the field of environmental protection, opened up the application market of environmental protection equipment and small control systems, and accumulated a deep industry Know-How. In 2019, LAN Pufeng applied RPC3000 large PLC batch to municipal water supply, sewage treatment and other water industry, breaking through the conventional use of imported PLC for large water projects, and boosting the smooth implementation of domestic alternative strategy with the help of digital development of water.

Water is a complex systematic project, including sewage treatment, tap water purification, water supply and other water projects. According to different applications and environmental needs, how to scientifically and effectively carry out water scheduling, control and monitoring, and achieve maximum benefits with the lowest system cost has become the “brain” of water treatment – the biggest test of PLC. Lampufeng RPC2000 series small and medium-sized PLC with flexible and compact minicomputer size and price, can expand 25 modules, control 400 more IO, to achieve the control function of medium-sized PLC. The perfect three-proof coating design and large-scale application in sewage treatment equipment perfectly meet the challenges of high-humidity and high-corrosive environment, greatly reduce the system cost, and lay a solid foundation for Lanpufeng to enter and take root in the water industry.

Over the years, in the process of developing smart water business with a number of domestic water plants and partners, Blue Pufeng has given full play to the technical advantages of RPC3000 large PLC from the actual situation of water applications: no downtime can be hot swappable module; Single instruction execution time is only 10ns; Powerful computing function, can expand 40,000 points of IO; CPU redundancy, bus communication redundancy, power redundancy and other redundancy schemes, effectively ensure that the MTBF of the control system is greater than 100,000 hours; Convenient communication and standard open interface make RPC3000 large PLC become the “commander” of the control system. In addition, the RPC3000 large PLC also has a perfect three-resistant coating design to ensure long-term worry-free application in harsh high temperature/low temperature, high humidity and high corrosion environment. RPC3000 large-scale PLC has been used in Kaifeng East, west sewage treatment plant, Qianjiang sewage treatment plant and other hundreds of large-scale water projects, Lanpufeng and partners together to provide users with reasonable prices, excellent performance, high reliability of the control system, has been highly recognized by users, for the domestic large PLC application in the water industry set a benchmark. In the process of domestic replacement of PLC contributed a “masterpiece”.

At present, Lanpufeng PLC is not only widely used in water treatment, sewage treatment, water treatment and other projects, but also cooperate with partners to develop emergency water supply vehicles, automatic integrated sewage treatment equipment, etc., providing convenient and efficient automation and intelligent solutions for small water applications.

Lanpufeng water automation and intelligent solutions have advanced hardware and software platforms, superior in technical performance, product stability, and harsh environment adaptability. Based on the self-developed control system, Lanpufeng can open up equipment, people, information and even the entire operation process, through system connection, data collection, visual display, data analysis, sustainable optimization of the entire operation process, greatly improving the operational efficiency of users.
