[0002] The automated monitoring unit and the navigation management unit of traditional locks are built separately, which is prone to form information islands. Data between the two systems cannot be automatically exchanged, resulting in separated control. Generally, it is necessary to manually send the ship passing lock shift information of the navigation management unit of the lock to the lock automated monitoring unit, and then the operator of the lock monitoring unit performs the opening and closing operations of the gates, valves and auxiliary equipment of the lock to complete the goal of orderly ship passage through the lock.

[0003] After the ships in the shift complete passing through the lock, the monitoring unit also needs to manually report the information of ships completing passing through the lock to the navigation management unit for record filing.
