Solution Approach 1:

The system implements continuous real-time monitoring through an automated early warning module that continuously receives data from acquisition modules, processes them through extraction and modeling, and generates predictions without interruption. This continuous operation improves early warning reliability by ensuring no critical events are missed, while the automated workflow optimizes energy usage by eliminating manual intervention gaps.

Inventive Principle:
