【Haichuan Safety Discussion】Can guide and assist emergency response inspection robots
Thread Content
The natural gas pipeline industry is a high-risk sector; manual inspections are inefficient and lack timeliness, which can lead to missed inspections, as well as difficulties in conducting inspections during thunderstorms and other adverse weather conditions. If intelligent robots are used to address these challenges, wouldn’t inspections of natural gas stations become more reliable, accurate, and comprehensive? Building on the first-generation inspection robots used at Yinchuan Station, the second-generation intelligent inspection robots at Zhongwei Station are capable of performing intelligent monitoring of equipment status, intelligent collection and analysis of data, as well as providing timely alerts for any issues or incidents, thereby enabling efficient and intelligent supervision of daily inspection tasks on site. Especially in the process area, it is difficult for equipment and personnel to monitor the static sealing points of the equipment in real time; intelligent robots can carry out inspection tasks successfully according to programs and instructions under various weather conditions and day/night scenarios, and trigger real-time alerts when abnormalities are detected. It can even guide the assistance in emergency response to accidents.
It utilizes mobile station natural gas leakage detection technology to regularly and at specific locations inspect for leaks at the station’s static sealing points as well as in the process areas； By utilizing lidar positioning technology, trackless inspection can be carried out, making construction easier; it does not damage roads, and the control method is flexible with easy trajectory adjustments. Through the wireless network communication technology in natural gas stations, real-time two-way information exchange is enabled between the inspection robot and the local backend, including data on the robot’s status as well as images and audio data from the devices being inspected; it also allows for the analysis of real-time footage from inspections.
It’s a good thing; one can leverage it, but don’t forget to have someone manage it in the end.
