[Example of ZEROSAI Implementation] Regional Development Bureau - River Embankment Protection Work - Managing water levels in three stages to prepare for sudden rises in water levels!
We will introduce a case study of the natural disaster prevention system ZEROSAI (NETIS registration number QS-150021-VE). It can be utilized not only for safety measures but also for creative ideas and technical proposals. Challenges on-site: Key focus points for evaluation [Operational Environment] - Install an [N Sensor] near the site to view wind speed predictions and observation data on the cloud. Since there is no power supply at the site, a solar power generation system will be installed. - Install a [battery-operated water level gauge] in the nearby river to monitor water levels. [Purpose of Implementation] - There is a dam upstream, and when sudden torrential rain occurs, the water level rises rapidly, necessitating quick evacuation. - Due to frequent crane operations, project management must ensure that work is conducted on days when wind speed predictions do not exceed the work stoppage threshold of 10 m/s. - Information sharing regarding work stoppages or changes in the schedule must be done swiftly. ■ Proposal (Example) For details, please download the PDF.

Three-color indicator light: Convenient usage techniques in conjunction with battery-operated water level gauge.
We would like to introduce convenient ways to utilize the newly released product, the "Three-Color Indicator Light," which was developed based on feedback from everyone. The "Three-Color Indicator Light" can be combined with a "Battery-Powered Water Level Gauge" to sound alarms based on segmented water level observations. Usage Examples: Monitor water level observations in three stages and take appropriate actions according to the level. Detect the risk of rapid water level rise during rainfall and take early preventive actions to ensure safety. - Set the baseline water level of 2m as Level 1: The green indicator light rotates, indicating standby. - Set the baseline water level of 4m as Level 2: The yellow indicator light rotates, indicating caution. - Set the baseline water level of 5m as Level 3: The red indicator light rotates, indicating evacuation. Additionally, the "Disaster Prevention Light" can display messages for workers and community members on a daily basis. Raising awareness of safety measures at the site is crucial through consistent practices such as daily KY (Kiken Yochi, or hazard prediction) and pointing out dangerous areas and points of caution. Let’s continuously display what to be cautious about during this season and strive to improve safety awareness across the entire site. Please feel free to utilize this for safety measures at the site, as well as for technical proposals and creative ideas. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

【Examples of ZEROSAI Implementation】 Chiba Prefecture Medical Center Construction Project Utilized pinpoint forecasts on-site to avoid the risk of sudden heavy rain! Achieved weather DX using ICT!
We will introduce a case study of the natural disaster prevention system ZEROSAI (NETIS registration number QS-150021-VE). It can be utilized not only for safety measures but also for creative ideas and technical proposals. Challenges on-site: Key focus points for evaluation [Operational Environment] - Install the [N Sensor] near the site office to manage rainfall and wind speed. - Use the real-time wind speed values observed by the [N Sensor] to determine whether to stop crane operations. - Issue a work stoppage directive when the real-time rainfall observed by the [N Sensor] exceeds the threshold value. [Purpose of Introduction] - Due to the proximity to the sea and the lack of obstructions, the wind speed often exceeds the work stoppage threshold of 10 m/s two to three times a day. It is essential to understand wind conditions, as crane operations must absolutely stop when wind speeds reach 10 m/s or more. - Rainfall during concrete pouring or painting work prevents operations, making it crucial to predict, observe, and timely grasp the rainfall situation. ■ Proposal (Example) For more details, please download the PDF.
