Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of storage and transportation of hazardous chemicals, and in particular to an intelligent storage and transportation system for hazardous chemicals. Background Art

[0002] With the accelerated advancement of industrialization, hazardous chemicals (hazardous chemicals) play an indispensable role in many industries such as chemical, petroleum, metallurgy, and medicine. Due to the high-risk characteristics of hazardous chemicals, their safe management during storage, transportation, and use is particularly important. Once improper management or accidents occur, it may cause serious casualties, environmental pollution, property losses, and even have a long-term impact on society. Therefore, how to efficiently and accurately monitor and manage hazardous chemicals throughout the process has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0003] At present, although there are a variety of technologies for monitoring and management of hazardous chemicals during storage and transportation, there are still a series of technical problems. First, the monitoring of hazardous chemicals during storage and transportation mostly relies on a single monitoring method, such as temperature and humidity monitoring, gas leak detection, RFID tag identification, etc. Although these technologies can achieve their respective functions, they often lack system integration and data sharing, resulting in serious information islands between different systems. It is difficult for managers to obtain multi-faceted real-time data on a unified platform, resulting in the inability to form a comprehensive and real-time hazardous chemicals monitoring and management view, affecting the safety of hazardous chemicals storage and transportation.

[0004] Secondly, although the existing system has certain real-time monitoring capabilities, its response capabilities to emergencies are still insufficient. The storage environment of hazardous chemicals is affected by many factors such as temperature, humidity, and gas concentration. Abnormal fluctuations in these parameters may lead to safety accidents. However, when abnormalities occur, many systems can only rely on a single alarm mechanism, making it difficult to form effective multi-level responses and preventive measures. At the same time, the existing emergency response mechanism is usually lagging behind and cannot provide managers with targeted emergency instructions and treatment plans in a timely manner, thereby delaying the timing of emergency treatment and exacerbating the severity of the accident.

[0005] In addition, the information recording and tracing during the storage and transportation of hazardous chemicals rely on manual operations, which not only easily leads to incomplete or erroneous records, but also lacks automated tracing and log management functions. In the event of an accident, it is impossible to quickly trace the responsible link, which makes it difficult to define responsibility and also affects the handling and analysis of subsequent accidents. Traditional systems generally lack cross-departmental and cross-system data sharing and real-time analysis capabilities, and are unable to respond to management needs in a timely manner, resulting in delayed information transmission and affecting the overall safety supervision effect.

[0006] Therefore, although the introduction of emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence has brought new hope to the storage and transportation management of hazardous chemicals, the existing technologies still have obvious deficiencies in system integration, intelligent decision-making, and emergency response. To solve these problems, there is an urgent need for an intelligent hazardous chemical storage and transportation system that integrates multiple advanced technologies, which can achieve all-round information integration, real-time monitoring, intelligent decision-making, and emergency response, and improve the safety, transparency, and management efficiency of the storage and transportation process, thereby ensuring the safety and efficient operation of hazardous chemical storage and transportation throughout the process.
