What WPG Smart Water Public does

WPG Smart Water Public (Shanghai Weipaige Smart Water Co., Ltd., \u4e0a\u6d77\u5a01\u6d3e\u683c\u667a\u6167\u6c34\u52a1\u80a1\u4efd\u6709\u9650\u516c\u53f8, Shanghai Stock Exchange: 603956) is a Shanghai-headquartered, publicly listed provider of integrated smart water management solutions founded in 2007. The company serves municipal water utilities, urban water plants, secondary water supply operators, rural water supply projects, and select industrial and institutional customers (universities, commercial buildings) across 103 Chinese cities. Its offering is organized around a "Five-in-One" model that bundles intelligent hardware (WDS/WDM pumps, BOSTEN ultrasonic meters, KANAS electromagnetic meters, WMI-V valve-controlled meters, modular water plants, edge computing gateways), professional software (water plant operations, WPGIS pipeline GIS, scheduling, DMA leak control, water quality monitoring), the proprietary WII (\u5a01\u7231) industrial IoT platform, and full lifecycle services from planning through EPC to operation and maintenance.

At the technical core is the WII industrial internet platform, which integrates edge sensors (supporting NB-IoT, 4G LTE, LoRa, ZigBee, Bluetooth, RS485, MQTT) with cloud infrastructure and a portfolio of water-utility-specific applications, holding 13 Xinchuang (IT trustworthiness) compatibility certifications across domestic servers, operating systems, databases, and middleware. Proprietary AI capabilities include machine-learning models for water plant yield prediction, intelligent filter backwash scheduling, DMA nighttime flow leak detection, and pump-room anomaly detection; in February 2025 the company integrated WPG Hetu AI with the DeepSeek large language model to enable generative Q&A on smart water operations. Hardware is supported by manufacturing in Shanghai (Phase 2 factory operational 2022) and Nantong (groundbreaking 2021).

Revenue is generated through a mix of smart hardware sales, perpetual and subscription software licenses, recurring platform services, engineering design and EPC contracts, and managed services. Go-to-market is predominantly direct enterprise sales via 30+ regional branches spanning all seven major China regions, supplemented by design-institute channel partners and a dealer hotline for long-tail customers. The company is expanding into adjacent verticals — most notably data center liquid cooling (WDS/WDM pump series, April 2026) and AI integration — leveraging its fluid-control IP outside the traditional water utility core.
