Edge computing boxes are used in a wide variety of applications in smart construction sites. The following summarizes some of the common functions used in the industry, which mainly include the following aspects:
I. Security Surveillance
Real-time monitoring and analysis: Edge computing boxes can process real-time surveillance video streams for personnel and vehicle identification, as well as safety event detection, such as falls and dangerous behavior.
Violation identification: It can identify whether site personnel are wearing helmets and reflective undershirts, as well as whether there are violations such as open smoke and open flame, and issue real-time alarms.
2. Environmental monitoring
Data Acquisition: Edge computing box can collect real-time data from all kinds of sensors on the construction site, including dust, noise, temperature and humidity, and other environmental parameters.
Data analysis and early warning: through the analysis of these data, edge computing box can grasp the environmental conditions of the construction site in real time, and issue an early warning when the environmental parameters exceed the standard, to help the management personnel to take timely measures.
3. Equipment Management
Remote monitoring and control: Edge computing box can remotely monitor and control all kinds of equipments on construction sites, such as tower cranes and elevators.
Fault Detection and Predictive Maintenance: By analyzing equipment operation data in real time, Edge Computing Box can discover equipment faults in time, predict maintenance needs and avoid accidents.
4. Personnel Management
Attendance management: Edge computing box can manage real-time attendance of site personnel through face recognition, fingerprint recognition and other technologies.
Behavior analysis: It can analyze the behavioral patterns of site personnel, such as whether they are active in the specified area and whether they have abnormal behaviors, etc., which provides decision-making basis for the management personnel.
5. Data Uploading and Sharing
Data uploading: Edge computing box can upload real-time collected data to the cloud to realize centralized management and analysis of data.
Data sharing: data can be shared to other application systems, such as project management, financial management, supply chain management, etc., to realize the synergy and integration of site management.
To sum up, edge computing box plays a great role in intelligent construction site, and its powerful computing and data processing capabilities provide intelligent, informatized and refined solutions for construction site management.
