This is an intelligent bridge inspection vehicle that supports remote control. With the help of automatic video identification technology, it delivers high-precision inspection and data acquisition; moreover, it transmits information in real-time to an intelligent software platform, making it convenient for staff to use manned bridge inspection vehicles for targeted maintenance operations. As an efficient, accurate, safe and flexible bridge inspection vehicle, it reduces the workload of workers and the use of large vehicles. The inspection process is more economical and efficient, while the remote control avoids safety hazards when working in hazardous environments.
Inspired by intelligent robots,the appearance of the product design follows the concept of minimalism. Its head shape and decoration give the vehicle a more vivid look. The black and silver wire drawing on the surface showcases a calm and steady style while maintains the texture of modern technology. In terms of body structure, an innovative aluminum alloy anchor bolt structure has been adopted, replacing traditional welding and avoiding the metal vapor and toxic gases generated by welding. It is friendlier to the environment and workers. Plus, it makes processing and maintenance more convenient. Powered by electric energy, robots reduce fossil energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
As equipped with an advanced intelligent chip, users are able to control the product in real time with a mobile phone app by connecting to the self-developed intelligent software platform. In this way, multiple functions such as remote control, start and stop, real-time recording of environmental temperature, humidity, and wind speed can be achieved, significantly improving operational convenience and data processing efficiency. The addition of 5G technology makes the inspection even more intelligent and efficient, with faster data transmission speed, greater system capacity, and support for large-scale device connections. On top of that, sensors embedded between various components monitor the wear and tear, operating speed, elongation and other data in real time. As such, it can issue maintenance warnings in advance to avoid unexpected shutdowns.
