System Overview Over the course of history, the Industrial Revolution brought about tremendous increases in productivity, thereby driving social progress and development. To this day, we continue to benefit from the outcomes of the Industrial Revolution, experiencing the amazing and tremendous power that science and technology exert in driving historical progress. In areas such as transportation, the construction industry, and energy production, technological advancements have greatly enhanced productivity. Of course, electronic patrol systems also keep evolving to meet the needs of societal development; they have undergone significant changes, from card-based recording systems to the electronic patrol devices that appeared in the 1990s, which brought about major reforms in the patrol industry. In the 21st century, the largest industry in the world is the Internet, followed by Android smartphones. In China, 60% of its 1.4 billion population uses the Android operating system – an open-source system that is easy to use yet powerful in functionality. Shijiazhuang Zhichuang Software Technology Co., Ltd. has also kept up with these developments, utilizing the Android platform to further innovate electronic patrol systems. In 2012, they launched a factory equipment inspection system, which has now been on the market for nearly four years, serving over a hundred companies. To continuously improve the quality of life for people, ensure their safety and property security, and enhance the management level of industrial production, various industries are demanding more scientific approaches to safety management (including in chemical plants, substations, cement factories, etc.). There is also an increasing need for regular and systematic inspections of key equipment, pipelines, and property within factories, as well as for immediate reporting of any emergencies. Eliminating potential hazards in a timely manner and preventing problems before they occur is what every business leader and manager hopes for. II. Overall Architecture 1. Configure a server in the monitoring center ； 2. Install one-to-one high-frequency RF inspection points/QR codes/barcodes on the equipment that requires inspection ； 3. Each inspector is equipped with a handheld inspection terminal; they can also be provided according to shifts ； 4. Install a device visualization inspection management system on the server. III. System principle: The inspector automatically receives tasks and reports results in real time; during inspections, one only needs to carry the inspector and go to the designated inspection locations at the scheduled times as per the inspection plan. Upon reaching the inspection location, use the inspector to read the data at a distance of 3–6 mm from the inspection point (by reading the RF signal or scanning the QR code/barcode). After reading the data, a Chinese voice announcement will be given indicating the name of the device at that inspection point, and the items that need to be checked on that device will be displayed (if there are any items that require inspection). Follow the operation guidelines and requirements to inspect the device accordingly (for example, for Main Transformer No. 1, the following needs to be checked: the switch itself – ensure that the opening/closing indicators are functioning correctly and that the sound is normal) ； b Protection device: The power supply of the protection device is normal ； c Isolating switch: Ensure good contact; check for any heating at the connections ； For cable outputs: ensure good contact at the cable connections, check for any signs of heating or discharge at those connections), and enter the actual operating status and parameters of the equipment, or select the appropriate category (normal/abnormal, good/heating), then submit it. If the equipment exceeds the specified parameters, the monitoring center will automatically trigger a fault alarm. When potential hazards or faults are detected in the equipment, visual evidence of the abnormal conditions can be collected by taking photos, recording videos, providing written descriptions, or creating maintenance tickets, which can then be promptly sent to the monitoring and control center. All inspection data will be automatically sent to the management platform system at the monitoring center via GPRS or WIFI. The visual inspection management system in the monitoring center automatically processes, analyzes, and aggregates inspection data to generate reports. This facilitates the assessment of staff attendance rates, the monitoring of equipment operation and parameters, as well as the evaluation of inspection tasks. It improves work efficiency while providing managers and users with scientific and accurate information for inspections and inquiries. IV. System Functions 1. Centralized management: a complete departmental structure is established with hierarchical permissions to achieve vertical management. 2. Equipment resource management system: establishes comprehensive lifecycle maintenance records for equipment. 3. Establish unified inspection standards to maintain real-time oversight of various parameters and operational conditions of the equipment. 4. On-site visual evidence collection: Images, text, and videos are used to document the conditions at the site, allowing higher-level authorities to provide guidance remotely through the platform. 5. Automated inspection: All inspection data is automatically sent back to the management platform. 6. Emergency handling of equipment failures: The system automatically analyzes the data sent back by field inspectors, and triggers an alarm to the maintenance department when the equipment parameters exceed the set limits. 7. Notifications and announcements are sent in real time, with automatic audio alerts for inspection personnel, allowing for remote dispatch of them at any time. 8. Automated statistical analysis: it aggregates data to generate various reports, enabling leaders to access information anytime and anywhere during business trips, for greater convenience. 9. Real-time online intercom, supporting the instant sending of voice and text for on-site communication. For more information, please contact via message within the site
