3. Scenario-Specific Solutions

3.1 In-Store Energy Monitoring: Intelligent Control for Energy Efficiency

Core Equipment:

• Distribution Cabinet Controller M300 (NodeRED programming replaces traditional PLC, supports 4G + Ethernet cloud connectivity)
• IO Expansion Units (flexible combinations for different appliances)
• Switching Power Supply USR-D24-60 (stable power for low-voltage devices)
  Functionality:
• Monitor the on/off status of lighting, air conditioning, and other equipment, and establish (coordinated) control logic (e.g., automatic brightness adjustment based on foot traffic).
• Time- and zone-based regulation: Full power during peak hours, reduced energy consumption during off-peak periods, with strategies optimized using historical data.
• Estimated Energy Savings: 15%-30% reduction in overall store energy consumption.

3.2 In-Store Device Networking: Cable-Free, Centralized Group Management

Core Equipment:

• 4G Industrial Router G806w (dual Qualcomm chips, enhanced WiFi, remote networking, 4G/Ethernet redundancy)
• Industrial Switch Platinum Series (expanded Ethernet ports)
  Functionality:
• 4G Broadband-Free Deployment: Cash registers, receipt printers, advertising screens, and other devices connect rapidly via G806w, with 4G/Ethernet backup ensuring network stability.
• Remote Operations and Maintenance: Group headquarters can uniformly manage networks across multiple stores, monitor device status in real time, and reduce on-site maintenance costs.
• Scalability: Additional devices (e.g., electronic shelf labels, smart shelves) can be connected via industrial switches to accommodate future upgrades.

3.3 In-Store Wireless Coverage: High-Speed, Seamless Experience

Core Equipment:

• Wireless Ceiling AP AP310i (Qualcomm WiFi 6, dual-band AX3000)
• PoE Switch/Aggregation Switch
• AC Controller
  Functionality:
• High-Speed Whole-Store Coverage: AP310i supports WiFi 6 with a coverage radius of up to 30 meters, meeting high-density customer internet demands.
• Seamless Roaming: Automatic AP switching as customers move ensures uninterrupted video streaming and payment services.
• Unified Management: The AC controller centralizes configuration of multiple APs, simplifying operations.

3.4 Food Safety Temperature Control: Real-Time Monitoring for Compliance Assurance

Core Equipment:

• Freezer Temperature Sensor (low-power data logger + temperature probe, 4G cloud connectivity)
• Cold Chain Transport Gateway M300 (temperature monitoring, door status detection, GPS/Beidou positioning, camera integration)
  Functionality:
• In-Store: Immediate alerts to administrators' phones in case of freezer temperature anomalies, with historical temperature curves supporting audit traceability.
• Transport: The M300 gateway monitors cold chain vehicle temperature, location, and door status throughout the journey, paired with cameras for visualized transport process monitoring to ensure "last-mile" safety.

3.5 Self-Service Retail Kiosks (Extended Scenario): Intelligent Checkout, Unattended Operations

Core Equipment:

• Retail Kiosk Cloud Box (temperature control, image transmission, WiFi positioning, FOTA upgrades, 4G cloud connectivity)
• Camera Module
  Functionality:
• Real-Time Checkout: After customers retrieve items, the camera captures product images, and the cloud box uses AI for automatic identification and payment deduction.
• Remote Management: Supports remote temperature adjustments and product information updates, reducing operational costs.
• Expanded Applications: Can integrate with advertising screens for interactive "buy-and-watch" marketing.

4. Solution Value

• Cost Reduction: Energy monitoring lowers electricity expenses, while 4G devices reduce broadband leasing costs.
• Efficiency Enhancement: Centralized group management improves operations and maintenance efficiency, while self-service kiosks extend business hours.
• Compliance: Full-cycle temperature control meets food safety regulations, avoiding penalty risks.
• Experience: Stable networks and intelligent services enhance customer loyalty, driving brand upgrades.

This modular solution flexibly adapts to diverse retail formats, including convenience stores, supermarkets, and catering, helping new retail enterprises build digital infrastructure and seize industry opportunities.
