The application scenarios of this product are divided into two major categories: core inspection scenarios focus on "inspection + simple operation" tasks, while extended application scenarios demonstrate the product's applicability in other fields.
Part 1: Core Inspection Scenarios
IDC Computer Room Inspection
In Internet Data Centers (IDCs), server cabinets, network equipment, and power and cooling systems need to operate around the clock. Traditional manual inspections are labor-intensive and prone to omissions. The robot can autonomously walk through computer room aisles and use the lifting mast to raise an HD camera to cabinet panels at different heights, capturing key information such as server indicator light status, network equipment port status, and PDU current readings. Equipped with an infrared thermal imager, the robot can perform temperature scans of equipment inside cabinets, promptly detecting local hot spots and heat dissipation hazards. When a server alarm light is found on, the robotic arm can, under remote commands, press the reset button or confirm switch on the equipment panel to complete simple handling. When internal cabinet conditions need to be viewed, the robotic arm can open the cabinet door for photography and close it afterward. The robot can also be equipped with temperature and humidity sensors to monitor the temperature and humidity distribution in various areas of the computer room in real time, ensuring the normal operation of the cooling system. Inspection data is automatically uploaded to the backend system and inspection reports are generated, effectively reducing manual inspection frequency and the risk of missed inspections.
Recommended configuration: Omnidirectional wheel chassis + Lifting mast + HD zoom camera + Infrared thermal imager + Temperature and humidity sensor + Two-finger gripper
Equipment Room Inspection
In densely equipped areas such as power distribution rooms, data center computer rooms, air-conditioning machine rooms, and water pump rooms, the robot can patrol regularly along preset routes. The lifting mast raises the HD camera and infrared thermal imager to the height of equipment panels to photograph indicator light status, meter readings, and switch positions, while detecting the surface temperature distribution of equipment. When abnormal temperatures, indicator alarms, or unusual noises are found, the robot immediately sends alarm information and on-site images to the backend. For situations requiring simple handling, such as pressing reset buttons, switching switch positions, or confirming alarms, the robotic arm can complete the operations under remote commands, avoiding the need for personnel to frequently enter equipment rooms. Inspection data is automatically recorded and reports are generated for traceability and analysis.
Recommended configuration: Omnidirectional wheel chassis + Lifting mast + HD zoom camera + Infrared thermal imager + Two-finger gripper
Power Station Inspection
In power facility scenarios such as substations, switching stations, and power distribution rooms, there are many types of equipment, wide distribution, and high safety levels. The robot can patrol primary equipment such as transformers, circuit breakers, disconnectors, and instrument transformers along predetermined routes, using an HD camera to photograph the status of key parts such as oil level gauges, gas pressure gauges, and open/close indication signs, and using infrared thermal imaging to detect the temperature of easily heated parts such as equipment joints, clamps, and bushings. When abnormal sulfur hexafluoride pressure, low oil level, or joint heating is found, the robot immediately alarms and sends on-site data back. For operations such as switching protection plates in and out in protection cabinets and confirming air circuit breaker status, the robotic arm can remotely switch the protection plates in or out, avoiding personnel frequently entering live areas and reducing operational safety risks.
Recommended configuration: Omnidirectional wheel chassis + Lifting mast + HD zoom camera + Infrared thermal imager + Two-finger gripper
Rail Transit Facility Inspection
In rail transit scenarios such as subway tunnels, station equipment rooms, and depot maintenance workshops, equipment is distributed along the line and inspection windows are limited. The robot can autonomously enter equipment areas during non-operating hours and patrol systems such as ventilation and air conditioning, water supply and drainage, fire protection facilities, and low-voltage power distribution. The lifting mast can extend into equipment gaps or high places to photograph hard-to-view positions such as valve opening, pressure gauge values, and control cabinet indicator lights. Equipped with a noise sensor, the robot can identify abnormal noises from rotating equipment such as fans and water pumps, providing early warning of hidden faults. For lighting control boxes and maintenance power boxes in tunnel sections, the robotic arm can complete simple operations such as switch reset and residual current protection testing under remote commands, reducing the frequency of manual tunnel entry.
