Gate remote control system: one mobile phone to manage thousands of miles of sluice gates

1. Product Introduction

​

The remote control system for gates is equivalent to installing an "intelligent remote control" on water conservancy projects. This system is actually oursGate online monitoring systemTraditional gate management relies entirely on manual visits to the site. To open or close the gates, one has to carry tools and operate manually. In case of heavy rain or floods, there is simply no time to react. Now this system directly integrates water level monitoring, gate control and video surveillance onto a single platform. Managers can open and close the gates with a mouse at the monitoring center point. For instance, a certain reservoir in Hubei Province uses remote control to deal with flood situations, and its response speed is 2 hours faster than manual operation. The core of the system is to install sensors on the gate and transmit real-time water level, flow rate and opening degree data to the cloud. It can be controlled by mobile phones and computers, completely bidding farewell to the era of "rain boots + wrenches".

​​2. Technical principle​​

The secret to the remote control of the system lies in the coordination of the three-layer architecture:

• ​Perception layerWhen it comes to "eyes and ears" : The laser distance measurement accuracy of the gate opening meter has soared to 0.05mm, which is 10 times more accurate than traditional mechanical sensors. The water level sensor has an error of ±0.5%, and even the changes in the water flow rate in the channel are closely monitored.
• ​The transport layer is playing with cutting-edge technology4G/5G full network compatibility + fiber optic dual insurance, no signal in wild mountains? Edge computing nodes are directly installed in the control cabinet and can make local decisions even when the network is disconnected, with the response time reduced to within 0.5 seconds.
• ​The decision-making level is even more ruthlessAI algorithms can learn historical water conditions. A certain reservoir system predicted that a heavy rain was coming and automatically adjusted the opening of the sluice gates 12 hours in advance, keeping the water level error within 1 centimeter.

  In addition to the solar power supply system - two 60W photovoltaic panels with 65AH batteries - the power supply can last for seven days without interruption on rainy days, and the Gobi Irrigation area can still be remotely controlled.

​​3. Scope of application​​

This system is not picky about scenarios and can be used from farmlands to nuclear power plants.

• ​Agricultural irrigation areaAfter installing smart gates in a 10,000-mu wheat field in Shandong Province, water can be released with just one click on a mobile APP. The irrigation time has been reduced from 3 days to 8 hours, saving 4 million tons of water annually.
• ​Urban flood drainageA flood control gate was installed in a certain underpass tunnel in Zhengzhou. When the water accumulation exceeded 20 centimeters, the gate would automatically close, with a false trigger rate of less than 0.1%.
• ​Hydropower stationA power station in Sichuan Province connected its gate control to the SCADA system. During the flood season, the efficiency of gate adjustment doubled, and the annual power generation increased by 3 million kilowatt-hours.
• ​Environmental protection emergencyThe intelligent gate of a certain chemical plant in Beijing is equipped with a sewage sampling function. When the COD exceeds the standard, it will automatically close the gate and seal the water sample. The environmental protection bureau directly issued a fine based on the evidence.

The real operation interface looks like this

• ​Three-dimensional maps show their magicOpen the computer platform. The positions of all the gates in the province are marked on the map. The red flashing point = faulty gate. Click on it to directly see the abnormal current data.
• ​​Mobile phone god operation​The mini-program can adjust the opening degree of the gate with just a few clicks and can also be linked to the camera to monitor the water flow on site. For instance, when the administrator of Jieyang Airport was using the toilet, he opened the flood discharge gate.
• ​Hardcore fool-proof designControl instructions must be entered with two passwords and confirmed in Chinese. For example, the command to close the gate should be "Close the channel of Enterprise A". If "Close Enterprise B" is entered incorrectly, it will be rejected immediately.

  On Douyin, there's something even more dazzling - a certain smart irrigation district uses digital twin technology. Even before the gates move, the screen has already simulated the effect of water flow changes.

​​5. Product advantages​​

If the company is willing to pay, it will rush to the four-trick lore：

• ​Save people to the extremeAfter the launch of a certain park in Shenzhen, the operation and maintenance team was reduced from 10 to 4 people, saving 670,000 yuan in labor costs annually.
• ​Save electricity to a new levelChongqing Airport has integrated the gate control system into the energy consumption system, increasing the efficiency of the refrigeration units by 15% and reducing the electricity bill by 80,000 yuan per month.
• ​Safety beware of self-sabotageWith anti-theft opening function, did someone forcibly break the gate? It sends a text message in seconds to alert that "the gate has been illegally opened" and automatically takes a video for evidence.
• ​Make decisions with an open eyeThe frequency of each gate's operation can be statistically recorded. In a certain irrigation district, it was found that the No. 3 gate was adjusted 8 times a day on average. A high-power motor was promptly replaced, and the maintenance cost was directly reduced by 40%.

​​6. Typical applications​​

Real money cases are the most convincing:

• ​Airport flood controlAfter Jieyang Chaoshan Airport was connected to the system, the speed of gate adjustment during heavy rain increased by 24 times, and the night duty posts throughout the year were cancelled.
• ​Water conservation in hospitalsIs the temperature and humidity in the sterile area of the Xiehe Operating Building exceeding the standard due to the use of a gate control interlocking air conditioning system? Automatically open the gate to flush water and cool down, and the drug scrapping rate returns to zero.
• ​Mine emergencyThe intelligent gate of a certain mine in Inner Mongolia is equipped with a thrust power generation device. When there is a power outage, it relies on the flow of sewage to generate electricity for self-rescue.
• ​Renovation of old buildingsAfter the renovation of a certain community in Shanghai, the property management closed the Windows in the public areas while lying in bed during typhoons, saving 400,000 yuan in maintenance costs annually.

​​Industry flashpoint​By 2025, there will be over 1,200 smart water conservancy projects under construction across the country, and the penetration rate of sluice control systems will increase by 200% annually

​​Technical egg​The new generation of systems is playing with digital twins. Before the gates are fully built, 100 flood tests have already been completed in the virtual scene

​​Boss settlement​The gate control system with an investment of 100,000 yuan saves water and electricity and reduces staff in the irrigation area, and the payback period is shortened to 8 months
