About the New York skyscraper window washing robot monitoring this thing. In fact, many people, like me, don’t quite understand what this is, right? Simply put, those robots that wipe glass for particularly tall buildings are not allowed to work there casually, and special people must be stared at – this is the monitoring we are going to talk about. There is quite a lot of knowledge here, especially in New York. It is a small matter to wipe the glass in so many high-rise buildings. If something goes wrong with safety, it will be really amazing!
1. You have to understand the basic concepts! : Window washing robot, which is an automated machine specially used to clean the facades of high-rise buildings. They carry various brushes, water sprays, and water-absorbing parts to work on the wall! And monitoring is to use various technical means to see if the machine is working as planned, whether there are any problems, and what is the safety status. Provide global procurement services for weak current intelligent products!
2. Why do you have to monitor? First of all, it must be for safety. The risk of high-rise buildings is too high. What if the robot fails? I dare not think or think! Secondly, the monitoring can also check whether the cleaning is cleaned and whether it is high. Otherwise, the machine will be idle or useless, so it will waste more time and money.
If you want to do this monitoring well, you have to look at several key parts, and none of them are missing.
1. The data collection and transmission system is particularly critical and very basic! There must be many sensors installed on the machine. The acceleration sensor can know whether the robot is moving or not; the position sensor can know which layer it has climbed to and whether it has deviated; and the tension sensor can see if the tension between the machine and the rope is normal. Don’t know if the rope is almost broken! So much data collected by these sensors must be transmitted to the monitoring center in real time. Now it is generally wirelessly transmitted, such as 4G, 5G, or specialized Wi-Fi systems inside high-rise buildings.
2. Image and video surveillance are also indispensable. Although the robot has its own sensors, it is most reassuring to look at it intuitively from the camera. You have to install a high-definition camera on the robot, but this camera must be waterproof and dust-proof. After all, it is done in the open air outside, with wind, sun and rain! It is also possible and you may need to install a zoom camera that can see things clearly at night or when the light is very bad, so that you can see the specific situation of the robot working at any time. Whether the glass is polished brightly or not, you can see clearly whether there are any missing dirty things.
3. Remote control and emergency treatment must also be done, in case! The people in the monitoring center found that something seemed to be wrong in the robot, such as it was stuck in a place and it was extremely moving, or the cleaning effect was ridiculously poor. At this time, you had to send it remote instructions to stop and check, or adjust the working mode. If the situation is really urgent, such as a serious failure, you must have the function of stopping the robot from working urgently with one click to ensure safety first!
You may have some questions of this and that, I'll try to answer it, I hope it can help you
Q: Is the more complex the monitoring system, the better? Answer: That's really not necessarily! Of course, there are definitely benefits to many functions, but the key is to be practical and able to solve practical problems. If you pursue those very complex functions that are not available, it will not only be expensive when you buy them, but also cause a lot of trouble to maintain in the future. It may also be too complicated, and it may be difficult for people who operate them to get started and make mistakes.
Q: Can ordinary people understand the data on the monitoring screen? Answer: Generally speaking, the monitoring system will design a relatively simple and easy-to-understand interface to turn those complex data into simple charts, indicator lights, etc. for everyone to see. For example, if the pressure is abnormal, it will light up a red light to warn you, and if the position is wrong, mark it on the map. So as long as you have a little training, people who are not professional in doing this can roughly understand what the situation is.
After all, in my personal opinion, the monitoring of the window washing robot in New York skyscrapers is not only a technical issue, but also a direction for the development of the entire high-rise maintenance work to become smarter and more efficient. If monitoring is done well, it can not only ensure safety, but also make cleaning work better and faster, which is also of great help to management. In the future, the technology in this area will definitely continue to improve and become more and more useful!
