Routine Inspection

Challenges:

For a long time, daily inspection of power equipment, water conservancy facilities, pipelines, and other infrastructure facilities has always been an important part to energy companies. Through daily inspections, they can detect breakdowns caused by nature or humans, and anticipate security risks in time. Due to wide distribution of long water/gas pipelines and electric wire, traditional inspection methods and models have become difficult to adapt to efficient management requirements. How to improve the efficiency and accuracy of inspection, how to evaluate the performance of inspectors, and how to maximize the utilization of manpower and resources have increasingly become actual problems.

Solution:

At the very beginning, each key point has been attached with a tag that has recorded its ID and corresponding checking point info. After the administration center carried out inspection plans, workers can directly download daily task list on the PDA. The GPS navigation function directs the worker to the assigned destination, with total accuracy and shortened time. At the same time, the worker's movement track has been recorded and uploaded to the backend database each day. Using the PDA to read the tag of an equipment, inspectors can retrieve all information about it, for example, the electricity, voltage, maintenance history, etc. of an electric meter.
