Ningxia's 1st security patrol robot put into service in Shizuishan

To further develop the intelligent security system, make up for deficiencies in night patrols and strengthen the nighttime security control of the office compound, State Grid Shizuishan Power Supply Co (State Grid Shizuishan) launched an intelligent security patrol robot on June 11.

The robot now conducts regular automatic night patrols around the clock, using technological innovation to build a safe logistics support system.

The company is the first affiliate of State Grid Ningxia Electric Power Co to deploy intelligent patrol robots for security management.

The original nighttime security patrols rely mainly on manual duty, which is plagued by poor visibility at night, numerous patrol points, the fatigue of staff members, and blind zones in surveillance, resulting in heavy pressure in terms of risk prevention.

The newly deployed robot features autonomous navigation, automatic obstacle avoidance and round-the-clock operation. It is equipped with high-definition night vision cameras, intelligent acousto-optic alarms and real-time data transmission modules.

When power runs low, the robot can return to its docking station for automatic charging without any manual operation, enabling non-stop night-duty patrols.

The robot follows pre-set routes to carry out full-coverage circular inspections of key areas every night, including main roads, gateways, perimeter walls, fire exits and equipment zones within the office compound.

It monitors abnormal activities in real time and automatically identifies risks such as unauthorized loitering, trespassing and potential fire hazards.

Upon detecting irregularities, it triggers immediate sound and light alarms while transmitting on-site footage and alert messages to the security command center, ensuring the early detection, early warning and prompt disposal of hidden dangers.

The robot makes up for the shortcomings of manual night patrols and realizes the deep integration of human and technological prevention. It improves the frequency and accuracy of night security inspections and reduces potential safety risks.

Moving forward, State Grid Shizuishan will keep optimizing the patrol scheduling mode of the robot, improve the human-machine collaborative security mechanism, and advance the construction of smart security.
