Real scene of project site

Project background

The park is responsible for regional fresh food distribution, with -25℃ frozen warehouse and 0-8℃ refrigerated warehouse coexisting, and has 120 self-owned vehicles. The original monitoring system in the low-temperature warehouse was hardly able to operate stably for a long time, and disputes over cargo damage on the platform were frequent.

Key points of low temperature environment technology

ProblemSolution
Conventional equipment fails at low temperatureLow temperature special camera with built-in heating and temperature control module
Frost and ice on the lensElectrically heated glass + anti-condensation coating
The temperature difference changes dramatically when the door opensThe door bucket area is arranged in two directions to balance the configuration on both sides as quickly as possible
Difficulty in defining cargo damageThe platform video is bound to the waybill number and supports retrieval by order

Operational results

There has been no monitoring interruption due to equipment failure in the two years since the system went online. The average handling time for cargo damage disputes on the platform dropped by about 50%, and the number of theft incidents in high-value cargo areas was 0.

Project difficulties

Issues that need to be addressed during project advancement

Conventional electronic components in the low-temperature warehouse cannot work

Ordinary equipment will fail when started in an environment of -25℃

Frequent entry and exit can cause condensation and frost on the lens

Drastic changes in temperature can cause the lens to blur or even freeze.

The value of cold chain goods is high and the risk of theft is prominent

The platform and temporary storage area need to focus on

Fast loading and unloading, difficult to define cargo damage

Fast pace of operation, lack of video evidence

solution

Technical and construction measures taken to address the above difficulties

The low-temperature area adopts a special low-temperature camera with heated glass

built-in heating and temperature control, frost automatically melts

Two-way distribution of points in the door bucket area eliminates blind spots

The temperature difference change at the moment the platform opens is dealt with through protective design

Platform operation video is bound to the work order number

Disputes can be quickly retrieved by waybill number

Independent storage in high-value cargo area + regional intrusion alarm

Instant alarm for personnel entering during non-operation hours
