Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of confined space operations, and more specifically, it is an intelligent management and control platform for confined space operations. Background Art

[0002] In many high-risk industries such as industrial manufacturing, petrochemical, electric power, sewage treatment, and construction, confined space operations have become the core focus of enterprise safety management. Confined spaces usually refer to enclosed or semi-enclosed environments such as storage tanks, pipelines, shafts, and tunnels. These working places have poor ventilation conditions and may pose risks such as toxic and harmful gases and oxygen deficiency. In recent years, with the continuous improvement of safety regulations, enterprises have higher and higher requirements for safety management. However, traditional confined space operations rely on manual inspections and monitoring, which are not only inefficient but also have a high risk of human error and are difficult to meet the increasingly stringent safety requirements.

[0003] The following problems currently exist in confined space operations

[0004] High-risk working environment and frequent accidents

[0005] Confined space operations involve complex environmental conditions and are extremely prone to dangers such as oxygen deficiency and toxic gas leakage. Traditional safety management methods cannot monitor the working environment in real time, resulting in insufficient accident prevention capabilities.

[0006] Difficult to monitor and complex processes

[0007] Confined space operations usually require multiple levels of approval and strict safety monitoring. Traditional management models rely on paper records and manual processes, which are cumbersome and error-prone, and it is difficult to achieve efficient and compliant safety management.

[0008] Slow emergency response

[0009] Due to the lack of real-time monitoring and early warning systems, the emergency response time for confined space operations in case of sudden danger is relatively long, and it is difficult to take effective measures in a timely manner, which may lead to serious casualties and property losses.

[0010] Difficult data management and traceability

[0121] Application success case of Example 2 in power enterprises

[0122] When a power enterprise was conducting underground cable maintenance operations, it used the operation approval and intelligent early warning system of this platform to monitor the operation process in real time. During one operation, the platform automatically detected that the toxic gas in the underground tunnel exceeded the standard and issued an early warning in a timely manner. The operation personnel quickly evacuated, avoiding a potential safety accident. This case proves the important role of the platform in emergency response and helps the enterprise effectively improve its safety management level.

[0123] Application success case of Example 3 in sewage treatment plants

[0124] When a sewage treatment plant was conducting daily maintenance of underground pipelines and storage tanks, it used the confined space operation management platform to monitor the operation environment in real time. The platform helped the enterprise achieve automatic monitoring of the gas concentration in the pipeline and strict control of operation processes. After implementing this platform, the accident rate of such operations in the enterprise was reduced to 0, the operation processes became more standardized, and the overall management efficiency was improved.

[0125] Specific benefits after customer implementation:

[0126] Time saving

[0127] The automated process management of the platform has significantly reduced the manual operation time in job approval, personnel scheduling, equipment inspection and other links. The job application approval process is completed online through the system, eliminating the need for cumbersome offline approvals.
