Traditional monitoring methods rely on manual inspections and regular maintenance, which have pain points such as low efficiency, high safety risks, and inability to monitor in real time. This article will introduce in detail the comprehensive solutions of hydraulic gate condition monitoring and intelligent operation and maintenance, and provide technical support for the safe operation of water conservancy and power generation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Industry pain points: the dilemma of traditional monitoring methods<\/h2>\n<p>There are obvious limitations in the monitoring methods of traditional hydraulic metal structure equipment (such as arc gates, open and close machines, etc.)\uff1a<\/p>\n<p>\u200b<strong>Inefficient<\/strong>\u200b: Manual testing has a large workload and relies on empirical judgment, which is prone to missed inspections and misjudgments, which affect the normal operation of the equipment.<\/p>\n<p>\u200b<strong>High security risk<\/strong>\u200b: The high-altitude and underwater operating environment is dangerous, the inspectors are vulnerable to injury, and there is a lack of effective safety protection measures.<\/p>\n<p>\u200b<strong>Cannot be monitored in real time<\/strong>\u200b: It is difficult to capture the early signs of sudden failures, and it is often only discovered after the problem is serious, which increases the difficulty and cost of maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>\u200b<strong>Short equipment life<\/strong>\u200b: Lack of data support, unable to achieve predictive maintenance, resulting in shortened equipment life and increased operation and maintenance costs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><a
