【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.
