Smart IoT Cloud Assistant - Description I. Overview The Smart IoT Cloud Assistant is based on the NB-IOT wireless communication network, using NB communication modules, mobile Internet, big data, and cloud computing to monitor the status of fire protection facilities and equipment and the surrounding fire safety environment in real time. II. Functional characteristics 1. Real-time monitoring Fire protection data is different from other industry data. The real-time requirements for data collection are very high. The system uses the unique heartbeat sensing mechanism of the equipment to perceive the operating status of equipment facilities in real time. When the equipment alarms, the system receives the alarm information in time based on the high real-time performance design, and pushes the information to the mobile phone APP of relevant personnel in time. Real-time data collection provides a basic guarantee for rapid fault handling and rapid handling of alarms. 2. Platform interconnection and comprehensive application The Smart IoT Cloud Assistant supports ultra-large system scale and flexible deployment. The system can flexibly select the deployment mode of "fire brigade-fire brigade-social unit" from top to bottom. The hierarchical, decentralized, and domain-based management mode can be smoothly expanded to further improve the system capacity and meet the needs of long-term and rapid business development. 3. Patrol customization and full-process recording According to the job responsibility system, daily safety patrol plans are distributed, executed, hidden dangers reported, and rectification reports are made. Through system big data statistics, the implementation of the main responsibility is analyzed, and the responsibilities of the legal person responsible are clarified, which changes the current situation of inadequate safety patrols and untrue inspection records. Intelligent patrol management (RFID, patrol standards, APP) solves the problem of patrol standardization, authenticity, and traceability of records. 4. Hidden danger rectification and closed-loop management When the front-end sensing equipment detects an abnormal situation, it is automatically pushed to the first-level patrol personnel. The patrol personnel will conduct on-site inspections as soon as possible, or the patrol personnel will find hidden dangers during daily fire prevention patrols. They can report to the fire manager on the mobile phone at any time. The fire manager initiates a maintenance/rectification notice. After the maintenance/rectification, it is confirmed by the patrolman, and the confirmation information is synchronized to the fire manager. The fire manager reviews and confirms the maintenance/rectification work order, and the hidden danger is eliminated. 5. Alarm processing, layered control The system manages user permissions in a hierarchical manner. The system manages permissions in a hierarchical manner, including the first level (fire control personnel, patrol personnel, building (construction) managers, engineering department managers, micro fire stations, full-time (part-time) fire managers), the second level (fire managers), and the third level (fire managers, legal persons). 6. Data application, smart firefighting "Smart firefighting big data" certainly requires a huge and complex information system, which is the basis of our decision-making and control, but what really reflects "wisdom" is the ability to intelligently process and analyze massive data.
