Approach

How we implement intelligence into your infrastructure step by step.

Site Survey and Requirement Confirmation

Survey river cross-section morphology, hydrological conditions, and surrounding terrain; define core requirements such as monitoring accuracy, data reporting frequency, and warning thresholds; assess power supply and communication signal coverage at potential sites, selecting monitoring points away from backflow zones and areas with dense floating debris.

Solution Design and Equipment Selection

Match water level gauges to river types; design the 'Sensing - Transmission - Platform' architecture; determine multi-mode communication and solar + battery power supply schemes.

Civil Works and Equipment Pre-Installation

Pour equipment mounting foundations, erect poles, install anti-scour reinforcement in flood-prone areas; install solar panels and communication gateways, implementing lightning and waterproofing measures; complete pre-configuration and standalone debugging of water level gauges and data acquisition terminals in advance.

Field Installation and System Networking

Secure the water level gauge and calibrate the zero point, ensuring probe mounting height accommodates water level extremes; connect the data acquisition terminal to power and communication modules to form the monitoring IoT network; test single-point data acquisition and transmission, identify signal blind spots, and deploy relay gateways as needed.

Platform Deployment and Function Configuration

Establish the full 'Device - Gateway - Platform' data link, testing data transmission stability and real-time performance; calibrate measurement accuracy against manual observation data, optimizing error compensation algorithms; simulate flood level exceedance scenarios to verify warning trigger and notification efficiency.
