1. Grid engineering topographic map mapping

The fixed-wing UAV can be used to measure the topography of the power grid project. It can provide detailed data such as images and elevations for the power grid topographic map design as a guarantee to minimize the possibility of errors in the topographic map drawing process and improve the topographic map. The quality and efficiency of planning and design provide a scientific basis for the construction of power grid projects, and thus lay a solid foundation for the safe and stable operation of power systems.

In the early stage of surveying and mapping of a wind farm, the UAV was equipped with a Sony A7R camera, 35mm focal length, ground resolution of 8cm, 1:2000 accuracy requirements, and the results were DOM, DSM, and DLG.

1.1 Transmission line optimization design

The transmission line design has a large field workload, high labor cost, low work efficiency, less information, limited by terrain, difficult to reach in some areas, long time for drawing in flat section and tower base section, amount of corner tower, house demolition The amount of vegetation and vegetation felled a lot;

The vertical take-off and fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle technology can greatly reduce the workload in the field, the labor cost is small, the work efficiency can be effectively improved, the area that is difficult for people to reach can be measured, and the optimal transmission line design scheme can be provided. And can provide a variety of data results including DOM, DSM, DEM, DLG and true 3D models. Mountainous strip terrain survey, 9km long, 500m wide, results include DOM (0.1m resolution) and DSM (2m grid).

2. UAV power inspection (thermal infrared, high-definition camera, LiDAR)

(1) Substation thermal infrared monitoring:

Most electrical equipment will exhibit abnormal temperature rise before failure. The infrared thermal imager can detect the abnormal temperature rise of electrical equipment. It is the best fault detection method recognized in the power field, and it is listed as the state maintenance work. An important part of.

Whether day or night, FLIR thermal imaging cameras and automation software can detect potential equipment failures and safety hazards in remote monitoring stations at any time. The net effect is that reliability is improved and costs are reduced. High voltage electrical equipment typically heats up before it fails. The use of a multi-rotor drone equipped with an infrared camera continuously monitors high-voltage equipment, avoiding costly failures.

(2) Drone equipped with HD camera

(3) UAV equipped with LiDAR

Science/Technology › Summary Of Application Of Drones In The Power Industry by Allen2019(op): 7:52am On Nov 08, 2019
Electricity is the foundation of modern social development. Timely and effective powerline inspection is very important to ensure grid security. There were numbers of challenges and difficulties during power line inspection in the past years: long transmission line, time-consuming procedures etc. Consequently, the inspection efficiency was low, the workers were placed in higher risks. In response to the above pain points, MMC(www.mmcuav.com) UAV develops the automatic power lines inspection system with UAV. So, what can UAV technology do in the power industry? Let's take a brief introduction.

 Autonomous inspection

The drone patrolman plans the route on the high-precision line three-dimensional map prepared in advance, and applies the centimeter-level real-time positioning technology. The drone automatically patrols the designated line, and automatically detects the device through the AI and sends back the diagnostic result data. The control room provides instant access to the operation of transmission lines, ground lines, fittings, insulators and towers. Drone power line inspections include normal inspections, fault inspections, and special inspections.

3D modeling

UAV transmission line space distance measurement technology can realize the integration of "small electric drone + micro laser range finder", by merging laser point cloud, DOM, DEM, high-definition image, multi-spectral, infrared photography, video image, etc. The data can form a visible light composite map and a laser three-dimensional model of the transmission line channel, and establish a text, visible light composite map, and a three-dimensional model "three-in-one" information base to realize real scene reconstruction and visually display the running state of the power transmission channel.

Foreign body removal

 In response to the problem of cleaning various flammable foreign materials on the high-voltage transmission line, the six-rotor UAV is used to carry the fire-breathing device, and the combustion method is used to remove foreign matter. The worker who uses the device does not need to be close to the transmission line, and can remotely remove foreign matter such as plastic film and kite line under the condition of remote control, and shorten the original obsolete time to several minutes, which not only improves the efficiency but also reduces the efficiency. Risk of safe operation.

Line erection

 In the construction process of transmission lines, the length of the corridors and the terrain are complicated. The dense forests in the valleys and rivers in the areas where the lines pass, which brings great inconvenience to the line erection, and the implementation of the project is very difficult. In order to effectively solve the contradiction between ecological environmental protection and overhead construction, it is easy to solve the problem by using the drone to display the guide rope to set up the line frame. The drone first flies over the line and applies a lightweight high-strength lead rope through each base tower, and then uses this lightweight lead rope to continuously pull the subsequent lead rope until a three-stage lead rope is pulled and the wire is erected. In this way, the high strength of the manpower display guide rope and the difficulty of landing the guide rope for the power parachute are solved, and the tree felling of the line channel is also reduced, thereby maximally protecting the natural ecology.

Line planning

 Using the fixed-wing UAV to carry out topographic survey of power grid engineering, provide detailed basic data such as image and elevation for power grid topographic map design as a guarantee, minimize the possibility of errors in the topographic map drawing process, and improve the topographic map planning and design. Quality and efficiency provide a scientific basis for the construction of power grid projects, and thus lay a solid foundation for the safe and stable operation of power systems. The vertical take-off and fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle technology can greatly reduce the workload in the field, the labor cost is small, the work efficiency can be effectively improved, the area that is difficult for people to reach can be measured, and the optimal transmission line design scheme can be provided. And can provide a variety of data results including DOM, DSM, DEM, DLG and true 3D models. Mountainous strip terrain survey, 9km long, 500m wide, results include DOM (0.1m resolution) and DSM (2m grid).、

Technology Market › 6 Fire Drones Rescued Mountain Trapped Men by Allen2019(op): 12:11pm On Nov 04, 2019
At 18:03 on November 2, the command center of the fire brigade of Guilin City, Guangxi Province received an alarm: a mass was trapped on an unknown mountain. The Guilin fire brigade command immediately dispatched a rescue formation, 2 fire engines and 14 commanders. Go to the scene to rescue. When arriving at the scene, due to the darkness of the weather, rescuers could not confirm the specific location of the trapped person. At 18:37, rescuers used drones to search for the specific location of trapped people. After reconnaissance by drones, they found trapped people on the top of a mountain. Due to the difficulty of steep mountain rescue, it was decided to use drones for rescue.

At 19:08 on the 2nd, under the unified leadership of the rescue command, the fire commander and a civilian police officer carried rescue equipment and lighting equipment, hatchets, etc. to the mountains for search and rescue, until the early morning, the weather became darker and the rescuers found that there was no The road can go up. Rescuers had to go down the mountain to redeploy the rescue plan and use the loudspeakers on the heavy-duty drones to scream for the trapped people and use the drone to deliver food to the trapped people.

At 7 o'clock on the 3rd, rescuers rushed to the scene to carry out rescue. Rescuers used heavy-duty drones to find a way up the mountain for the firefighters to detect the terrain and detect the location of the trapped people. At around 14:00 on the 3rd, the rescuers finally found trapped people at the top of the mountain. Firefighters and rescuers appease the trapped people and adjust their physical strength to go down the mountain. On the way down the mountain, the rescued person took the trapped person to overcome the difficult mountain road and arrived at the foot of the mountain with the trapped person at 15:52.

It is understood that the trapped person is a middle-aged man. He wanted to go up the mountain to find wild honey. After climbing for 10 hours to the unnamed mountain top, he found that he could not find the way down the mountain. At the rescue site, the government department linked with the Chinese industrial drone manufacturer MMChttp://www.mmcuav.com/
, and called 6 sets of various drones on-site to add strength to the smooth rescue.
Science/Technology › Uavs Move From Toys To Commercial Use by Allen2019(op): 11:34am On Nov 01, 2019
The current hotspots in the technology circle are non-UAVs. Whether it is "breaking into" the White House or helping Wang Feng to make a headline, the exposure of drones has soared day by day, and the commercial value of the "big toys" in the new era is rapidly digging. There have been rumors recently that MI has invested in a new drone research and development team. Last week, Taobao and Yuantong joint merchants carried out drone delivery services in specific areas such as Beijing.
 
With the gradual application in the field of aerial photography, express delivery, and security, the commercial value of drones is being tapped, and the heating of the drone consumer market has also made drone manufacturing companies(http://www.mmcuav.com/
) highly regarded.
 
Small things, large output value
 
The drone was originally a "toy" of geeks (referring to cutting-edge technology enthusiasts), but a technology product within a niche range. As exposures increase, so does the discussion about the drone market. At the beginning of this year, 14 companies in the field of drones participated in the CES exhibition (International Consumer Electronics Show), which leads the global consumer electronics trend, including IT giants such as Intel.
 
According to data from the Consumer Electronics Association, the number of civilian UAVs in the world is expected to be sold in 2015. The market size is expected to increase by 55% compared with last year, reaching 130 million U.S. dollars. In 2018, the global UAV market is expected to grow at least. One billion dollars. This market forecast also shows the value of this technology product and the prospects in this field to the outside world.
 
Domestically, there are also unimaginable drone hardware manufacturers. Among them, Dajiang Innovation Technology Co., Ltd. is the most representative. According to research firm Frost & Sullivan, DJI accounts for 50% of the global small drone market share. The protagonists in the recent news that sparked discussions have received more attention from the industry. The company was founded in 2007, and its sales increased from more than 3 million yuan in 2010 to more than 800 million yuan in 2013. It is expected that there will be more than three times growth in 2014.
 
In addition, domestic drone manufacturers are also favored by capital in the near future. Among them, Feifei completed a $20 million Series A financing, and Yihang Airlines also completed a $10 million Series A financing. Recently, DJI will also receive an investment of 200 million yuan from Sequoia Capital. With the financing, the valuation of these companies has also increased by dozens of times.
 
"Toy" encounters policy threshold
 
UAVs are beginning to gain popularity, thanks to lower manufacturing costs and improved technology. At present, consumer-grade civil drones have become a favorite for some lovers at relatively low prices.
 
A DJI person admits that the four-rotor aircraft is very fun, but it has also been explored as a valuable industry outside of toys. In the transition from professional to consumer products, in addition to the important entry barrier of price, the biggest resistance is the perception from consumers.
 
Huyiqiang, CEO of Haixiang Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. explained that the trend of popularization of civilian drones in the past decade has emerged as a new generation of civilian drones featuring low-cost hardware and software and modular design. However, cost and performance, reliability, and safety are contradictions that are difficult to reconcile. Civil machines are still not comparable to traditional manned aircraft with airworthiness certificates.
 
"Some of the drone manufacturers who are the model aircraft have insufficient technical reserves and lack of airworthiness regulations for aircraft. Although efforts are being made to improve product reliability, security risks still exist." Huyiqiang said, policy requirements The initial airworthiness of the drone is managed according to the method of the licensed flight certificate, and the registration is required. The drone with an operating weight of more than 7 kg is required to hold the driver's certificate, but the statistics on February 9 show that the number of passengers in the current drone is A total of 244 people.
 
Many people believe that the consumer drone market is in urgent need of policy guidance, and that the support of the policy will help it get rid of the toy definition and explore a broader business model. Enterprises are hoping that the application of new technologies can be quickly realized. However, if you can't find a suitable commercial scene, you will eventually get a bucket of water.
 
Commercial scene extension
 
“There is a voice in the industry that the commercialization of drones is only a gimmick, but in fact, the successful application scenarios exist.” Huyiqiang believes that, apart from the regulatory level, there are still defects in the technical aspects of UAVs, but some application areas such as aerial photography and aerial survey These shortcomings can be circumvented, and companies can profit margins by choosing the right commercial scenario development market.
 
DJI CEO Wang Tao has said that manipulating flight models for aerial photography is a lucrative business, and will be used in almost all filming scenes with exterior scenes. The performance of Dajiang UAV in aerial photography and aerial survey has also been recognized by the market.
 
UAVs are also receiving attention in the field of logistics and transportation. In fact, several major e-commerce giants such as Amazon and DHL have begun to experiment with drone logistics. For example, Amazon launched the Prime Air drone logistics program, Google acquired the drone company Titan Aerospace, and Germany approved DHL. Machine delivery. Domestically, Taobao, Yuantong and SF have also joined the ranks of UAV logistics.
 
HuYiqiang said that the use of drones for cargo transportation will inevitably be achieved, but at this stage is limited by cost, and supervision still needs to be improved. Therefore, it takes several years to see the real application.
 
In addition, drones can also be used in agricultural production, rescue, energy, wildlife protection, and other fields. The industry predicts that in the future, the UAV in the civilian consumer class will be more widely used, but it still needs to be polished in various aspects such as technology, enterprise, and policy.
 
The company whose main business is civil drones is not very large, and it is easy to encounter development bottlenecks. In an industry that lacks effective barriers to competition and barriers, it is also difficult to create profits. UAV companies need to focus on the applicable business scenarios in order for product prices to cross the coast line.

"The arduous task of pollution prevention and control has forced us to learn to use high-tech means to enforce the law and be able to arrive at the scene for evidence collection." Wang Anning, an award-winning athlete from the Anyang Environmental Monitoring Detachment, said that the use of drones will lead to environmental monitoring and enforcement. The more popular, the province's environmental law enforcement training this year, the use of drone skills as an important part of the training.

"Many of them are not easy to check, and it is easy to find them from the sky with drones." Zhang Kunfeng, the law enforcement commander of the Shangqiu Environmental Monitoring Detachment, said that they have started using drones in the past two years, and they have been inspected at water sources. In the first-line law enforcement operations such as investigation and investigation of “disorganized pollution”, the drones have shown their talents.

“On one occasion, we received reports from the masses and came to the area where the drones flew for ten minutes. We quickly discovered four or five 'scattered pollution' enterprises. Another time, the air monitoring station alarmed the concentration of pollutants. Li, flying with a drone to the air of 30 meters, quickly locked the source of pollution is the cinder car..." Speaking of the use of drones, Zhang Kunfeng introduced several successful cases.

According to reports, the drone can not only achieve aerial view and take evidence, some UAVs are also equipped with an air monitoring module, where the concentration of pollutants is high, you can go where to check, and some drones are equipped with equipment, Contaminant sampling can be achieved. With the Gas Detector G2(http://www.mmcuav.com/portfolio-items/gas-detector-g2/), independently developed by MMC, the environment can be recorded 360 degrees. The system supports high-precision real-time detection of up to 80 different gases, and is mounted on a drone instead of manual work for inspecting hazardous areas and hard-to-reach areas for real-time environmental data monitoring.

In recent years, in the environmental supervision and law enforcement throughout the province, the UAV began to appear gradually. The use of drones has also become a skill that frontline environmental monitoring law enforcement personnel need to master.

"The training of drone skills and the holding of competitions are not only the practice of Henan, but also the important content of environmental law enforcement training." Li Weiqun, chief engineer of the Provincial Ecological Environment Department, said that in recent years, the province's pollution prevention and control has steadily advanced. The overall environmental quality is improving. However, the current environmental protection situation is still grim. Various environmental violations are still frequent, and the forms of expression are more subtle. There is an urgent need for scientific and technological means of modernization.

The use of drones is becoming a new means of environmental monitoring and enforcement in the province.
Science/Technology › Drone And Thermal Imaging Technology Rescue 6-year-old Boy Late At Night by Allen2019(op): 8:01am On Oct 22, 2019
According to US media reports, on October 15, a young boy named Essen and a pet dog were lost near the town of Pamo, Minnesota, USA. A total of 600 volunteers participated in the search and rescue, and the local police also dispatched patrol helicopters. Searching, many people who are concerned about the event prayed for the boy online.

The search and rescue work continued from 4 pm to late night. Due to the lack of additional lighting on the farm night, the visibility was extremely poor and the outdoor temperature dropped drastically, which brought great difficulties to the search and rescue work. I thought that Steve, a volunteer from the drone service company, brought his drone, a multi-functional drone developed by an industrial drone manufacturer(http://www.mmcuav.com/) in China, equipped with a thermal imaging lens. It can continue to work at night.

It is understood that the thermal imaging camera used by Steve integrates a high-precision thermal imaging sensor and a 4K visible light sensor. It can record and transmit thermal imaging and visible light effects at the same time. In real-time image transmission, thermal imaging and visible image can be displayed side by side or picture-in-picture according to the needs. At the same time, the latest machine intelligence technology is combined with FLIR MSX image enhancement technology. The combination of visible light and thermal imaging provides rich detail and produces sharper thermal imaging, making it easier for users to identify targets. At two o'clock in the morning, when searching for a cornfield about a mile from the farm, two spots appeared in the thermal image, and a long spot was moving in place. "I think it should be a pet dog." And the boy, so I informed everyone," Steve said. Search and rescue personnel immediately went to the location to successfully find Ethan and his pet dog.

After being rescued, the boy had all the good signs and had returned home after being examined by the hospital.

Science/Technology › How Big Is The Impact Of 5G On Drones? by Allen2019(op): 9:49am On Oct 12, 2019
Aerial photography, inspection, logistics, plant protection, surveying, security and other applications in the field of UAV industry, the line of sight remote control, image real-time cloud processing, high-definition video stream back to the ability to put forward higher requirements. As the latest generation of cellular mobile communication technology, 5G is also the best communication technology for building digital sky. What changes will it bring to the drone industry?
Compared with 4G, 5G has obvious advantages in the communication coverage of networked UAVs. The new large-scale antenna array adopted by 5G can flexibly and automatically adjust the phase of the transmitted signals of each antenna to meet the regulatory requirements for low-altitude airspace within 500 meters. And the future flight demand of more than 120 meters of drones in the city's high-rise environment. In addition, 5G also has more advantages in remote fine control of drones, flight data security, and industry empowerment.
Networked drones to promote efficient low-altitude economy
Recently, the Dongguan Power Supply Bureau's substation operation professionally applied the “5G UAV+Programming Operation” pilot in China for the first time. It also marks that the Dongguan Power Supply Bureau's substation operation professional is the first in China to realize “5G UAV+Programming Operation”. ".
Compared with the traditional air duty mode, the 110 kV line operation requires two on-duty personnel to operate together and takes an average of 30 minutes, while the 5G drone based on China Unicom's 5G communication channel is in its "high bandwidth, low latency". With the help of the advantages, the real-time HD video is transmitted back to the main control room, and with the program operation mode, it takes only 3 minutes, and no human intervention is required in the whole process.
As the application of drone technology in various fields becomes more and more sophisticated, 5G is a new generation mobile communication technology with a peak rate of 20Gbps and a delay of 1 millisecond. These features are well suited to the needs of drone application scenarios. The construction of the Dongguan Unicom 5G Power Supply Bureau's patrol center has also explored a new path for the 5G integration into the power industry.
It is understood that the drones used in the 5G UAV program operation power inspection of Dongguan Substation came from MMC's Notuzi X85 collapsible drone, combined with MMC's self-developed ground station control system. Go to the station and station LAN wired remote control and view images.

A variety of personal and industry services, such as exploration, constitute a new and colorful "network of the sky."
Science/Technology › Chinese Drones Are Doing Something Impossible by Allen2019(op): 11:32am On Oct 11, 2019
Benoit Gillow, project director of French drone company Artelia, said that Chinese-made drones are "an incredible story in modern technology." At the AirWorks conference in Los Angeles, Gillello recalled how his team used three Chinese-made drones to capture the scene after the fire in Notre Dame. The rescue incident was just one of many stories about Chinese drones.
The AirWorks Conference is an annual gathering of technical experts sponsored by China UAV Corporation. This year's annual conference sponsored by DJI Company attracted 700 participants and organized seminars spanning five core areas of agriculture, construction, energy, infrastructure, and public safety.
The (global) drone market is transforming into an ecosystem, with DJI being at the center. According to statistics from UAV analysis company Skylogic Research, the Chinese drone manufacturer accounts for more than 70% of the global civilian drone market. China's drones are becoming a platform: hundreds of startups and end-users with specific needs apply drone technology to their own industries. Experts say they are getting more and more valuable, and now they are helping many companies reduce costs and even save lives.
However, in the field of industrial drones, China's industrial drone manufacturer MMC continues to be deeply involved in the application of the drone industry and is in a leading position. The various types of drones developed and produced by the company can be used not only in various industries such as electric power inspection, fire protection, emergency rescue, smart city, surveying and mapping, public safety, etc., such as the Griffion M8 developed by MMC. Various complex mapping environments, Skylle 1550 drone, industrial three-proof, 81-minute battery life, 15 kg payload, can be used in a variety of scenarios, Notuzi X85 folding design, easy to deploy, flight time is 50 minutes, effective With more than 15 load options, it can be flexibly applied to various scenarios.

American thermal-imaging manufacturer FLIR is a partner of DJI. Chris Pate, head of global business development at the company, said that Chinese companies are trying to provide the best technology at the cheapest price, "so we put our The equipment is installed on these most popular drones.” The fire department in Los Angeles showed how to use Chinese drones for aerial mapping, as well as wildfires, rapid rescue, hazard prevention, and urban search and rescue. Industry insiders say that (China's) drones give consumers a tool and then they develop software-based, customized solutions.
Science/Technology › The Drone Turned Into A Fire Extinguisher And Staged "Motorish Rescue" by Allen2019(op): 9:25am On Oct 10, 2019
High-rise buildings are on fire, how to quickly fire and rescue? This worldwide problem is solved by the application of drones.
A few days ago, the video released on the People’s Daily’s overseas social platform showed that Chinese-made drones are using high-efficiency fire-fighting equipment to quickly extinguish high-rise buildings.
It can be seen from the video that the front end nozzle of the fire-fighting drone can be up to 4 meters long, which can not only solve the fire of the high-rise balcony, but also solve the indoor fire, basically achieving no dead-end fire.
Since 2005, China has stipulated that more than 10 floors of residential buildings, more than 24 meters of other civil buildings are high-rise buildings, and buildings over 100 meters are super high-rise buildings.
https://i.imgur.com/k7cbLLs.png
According to the incomplete statistics of the journal "Intelligent Buildings and Smart Cities", there are about 350,000 high-rise buildings in China, and there are more than 6,000 super high-rise buildings with a height of more than 100 meters.
According to the Beijing Evening News, in the past 10 years, there have been more than 30,000 high-rise building fires in China, with more than 500 deaths and direct property losses of more than 1.5 billion yuan.
High-rise buildings are often located in the prosperous areas of the city, with dense personnel, heavy traffic, narrow roads, and problems such as easy three-dimensional spread and difficulties in evacuating and escaping.
Traditional fire-fighting equipment and fire-fighting and rescue means face difficulties such as "not enough, can't get in, can't be opened, and can't be played". It is difficult to carry out effective rescue in time, which may cause property damage and casualties.
According to relevant information, the height of the high-class fire trucks equipped in China's mainstream is about 50-60m, and the spray height of fire water guns and water cannons is only about 50m, which is far from the super high-rise buildings.
The application of industrial drones has played an effective role in fire fighting and rescue. They can shoot at multiple angles, transmit video images in time, and accurately monitor the real-time situation of the fire scene.
Heavy-duty drones can also carry fire-extinguishing agents directly to the fire-fighting floor to carry out high-altitude fire fighting, which overcomes the difficulty of hard-to-reach fire trucks.
At present, fire-fighting drones are mainly multi-rotor drones. Multi-rotor drones are low-cost and are widely used civilian models. It is a special helicopter with three or more rotor shafts, which rotates the motor on each shaft to drive the rotor to generate lift.
The multi-rotor UAV has the advantages of maneuverability, vertical take-off and landing, air hovering, and in-situ revolving. It has no requirements for road traffic conditions and is suitable for operations in complex environments. They can quickly reach the scene of the fire in the event of traffic jams, saving time.
https://i.imgur.com/7pl3tdX.png
Multi-rotor drones can also significantly increase rescue efficiency. Their theoretical flight height can reach several kilometers, regardless of site conditions or building height. They can be lifted off along the vertical plane of the high-rise building, quickly reach the fire floor, and hover at any height to quickly extinguish the fire.
In addition, they also improve the accuracy of fire suppression. High-rise building-specific fire-fighting drones often use technologies such as intelligent flight control, mission planning, image recognition, and ballistic design. Ground commanders control drones to launch fire-fighting bombs or fire-extinguishing agents, which can quickly and accurately target fire areas. Fire in a point-to-point manner.
As an industry-leading industrial drone manufacturer, MMC has achieved great results in the application development of the UAV industry. In the field of fire drones, the latest development of two UAVs for high-rise building fire extinguishing Fire-fighting equipment, APOLLO FB1 airborne broken window fire extinguisher and APOLLOFE3 fire extinguisher, APOLLOFE3 carries dry powder with a net content of 3kg. It adopts electronic quick-start triggering method to spray dry powder quickly and vertically, and the effective fire extinguishing range can reach 7m3.
In addition to the development in the field of fire protection, MMC is also engaged in the development of the UAV industry in mapping, inspection, plant protection and other fields, and has multiple solutions for various industries.

Science/Technology › UAV Inspection Helps The “power Silk Road” To Be Smoother by Allen2019(op): 8:32am On Oct 09, 2019
West Power East is one of the landmark projects in the development of the western region. Changji-Guquan ±1100 kV UHV DC transmission project, as one of the landmark projects of West-East Power Transmission, is also the world's largest design and construction of the world's highest voltage level, the largest transmission capacity, the longest transmission distance, the most advanced technology level. UHV transmission project. This project has set a new height in the world's power grid technology and opened a new era in the development of UHV DC transmission technology.
https://i.imgur.com/dFNqlpH.png
According to reports, the Changji-Guquan ±1100 kV UHV DC transmission project is the "Power Silk Road" connecting Xinjiang and East China. It can send 66 billion kWh of electricity to East China every year, and can light up 400 million kW of electric lights at the same time. Meet the electricity demand of 50 million households in East China. At the same time, it can reduce coal transportation by 30.24 million tons. If it is calculated by train capacity, it needs 25,000 thousand 20-car trains. It is of great significance for winning the blue sky defense war, promoting Xinjiang's economic development, and implementing the “Belt and Road Initiative” initiative.
How to ensure the continuous power supply security of the "Power Silk Road"? On September 1st, the reporter took this question into the hinterland of the Gurbantunggut Desert in Jimsar County, Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Autonomous Region, and visited the circuit inspection of the Xinjiang Power Grid. From afar, the ±1100 kV high-voltage direct current transmission is much larger than the ±750 kV high-voltage line insulator. The tower is directly inserted into the sky, which is very spectacular. Under the tower, the sound of the current can be clearly heard. Going deep into the desert hinterland, the sand and gravel are soft, plus the high temperature of 37 degrees. The reporters who walked lightly and loaded are very difficult to walk. I can imagine the hard work of the power inspectors.
UAV patrol ±1100 kV Changji-Guquan UHV DC transmission line
“In the past, in order to protect the power security of the main grid, we mainly used manual inspection methods. Now we use drones to conduct inspections to ensure personnel safety and improve work efficiency.” Chen Hui, head of the State Grid Xinjiang Power Grid Navigation Center Tell the reporter that the line spans the Tianshan Mountains. Nearly 80% of the towers are located in the mountainous areas. Due to the steep mountain and cliffs and other factors, some tower personnel cannot reach the line. The daily inspection work of the line cannot be carried out, so the drone inspection is required.
"In the past, a base tower needs 2-3 people to check the tower for about one and a half hours to complete. Now it is used for drone inspection. The two people only need about 15 minutes." State Grid Xinjiang Power Grid Navigation Center Kay. This has greatly improved the efficiency of work and made our "air dancers" more secure. The most important drones provide clear and effective specimen data for drone inspection systems through acquisition modules with various functions (such as high-definition cameras, thermal imaging cameras, etc.). For the harsh environment such as Snow Mountain and Gobi, the high mobility of the drone has its unparalleled advantages. Increasing the participation of drones can effectively supplement the problem of insufficient coverage and monitoring of terminals, and improve the utilization of resources of hardware and software.
UAV application power inspection site
Chen Hui told reporters that the participation of drones in power inspection has the advantages of saving labor costs, improving safety factor and efficiency, and bringing about changes in the working mode of power inspection and maintenance. The traditional electric power inspection requires the inspectors to arrive at the scene in the mountains and waters, which is not only inefficient, but also has the risk of working at height. The efficiency and safety of drone inspection are higher, and large-scale and intelligent operation can be realized, which greatly improves the reliability of power grid operation and ensures the safe operation of the power grid.
According to reports, the current state network Xinjiang company has successively put a variety of different models of MMC drones into the circuit inspection. However, in the routine inspection of ordinary high-voltage circuits, they mostly use the Notuzi X85 model, and the MMC Skylle 1550 model was used in the inspection of the Changji-Guquan ±1100 kV high-voltage DC transmission project. The MMC Skylle 1550 has an intelligent control system and excellent flight performance. The fuselage is reliable and durable, and can adapt to harsh environments such as high altitude and small micro-meteorological changes in high altitude areas. Equipped with self-heating dual battery system, it can automatically heat up in low-temperature environment, it can work normally in cold weather as low as -20 °C up to 50 °C, and its lifetime is up to 38 minutes. The system Photon A10 can realize the transmission distance of 10 km, and can automatically select and switch between the two communication bands of 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz according to the environment, and the anti-interference ability is enhanced. It can work stably in wind and rain, dust or high temperature and cold, providing high-reliability control. In addition, the Skylle 1550 can quickly locate the damaged part by using the Thyea Z40 zoom camera or the ZT40 thermal imaging camera, and support the manual re-inspection in the background, so that the line inspection of the UHV line no man's land can be carried out smoothly, compared to the tower. The telescope is more reliable. Thyea ZT40 infrared temperature measurement function can find potential hidden troubles in the wire. Thyea Z40 40x zoom can help them break the insulation, loose screws, metal skew and other details, thus shortening the fault judgment time.
As the world's leading manufacturer of industrial drones, MMC has been committed to driving technological innovation and striving to expand the social value of technology applications. Since its establishment, it has been committed to the application of drones in various industries.

Science/Technology › Introduction To The Steps Of Aerial Surveying And Mapping by Allen2019(op): 4:44am On Sep 30, 2019
Surveying and mapping is the most widely used field of industrial-grade drones. It can be widely used in many fields such as national basic surveying and mapping, digital city construction, land, and resources survey, and address environmental survey. MMC mapping UAV solution, through the ortho camera, tilt camera, photoelectric pod, laser radar and other equipment, can quickly obtain 3D models and images of the terrain surface, perform high-precision mapping and inspection tasks, can be used for mapping The unit saves a lot of time and capital costs. For the specific application to the supervision of illegal buildings, it is possible to obtain image data in real-time by shooting the surveillance area with a tilt camera, and compare it with the previous data to discover the behavior of suspected illegal land use and timely grasp the land change pattern.
Then, for the operation of the mapping drone, let me give you a brief introduction today.
1. Determine whether conditions
UAV aerial survey, the weather conditions are good or bad. Before starting the aerial photography, it is necessary to grasp the weather conditions of the day and observe the thickness of the clouds, the illumination and the visibility of the air. Observe the thickness of the clouds.
2. Arrive at the take-off location
After determining the weather conditions and the distribution of clouds, it is suitable for aerial photography, and bring the drones, catapults, radio stations, computers and other related equipment to the aerial take-off point. The take-off point is usually inspected in advance, requiring the site to be relatively flat, without wires, high-rise buildings, etc., and determine the order and sequence of aerial photographs in advance.
3. Determine the wind speed at the scene
After arriving at the scene, the wind speed was measured.
4, set up the catapult
In order to ensure the aircraft take off smoothly, the catapult is generally erected against the wind.
5. Setting up a radio station is used for communication between ground stations and drones.
6, the day's job log Record the wind speed, weather, takeoff and landing coordinates and other information on the day, keep the future data reference and analysis summary.
7, attitude angle adjustment
For take-off locations that are more than 200km from the last take-off location, the attitude and angle of the aircraft must be adjusted to ensure accurate communication.
8, the drone is placed on the catapult
During installation, it is necessary to check whether the components of the drone are tightly connected, whether the power supply wiring of the ejection frame is properly connected, and the power is sufficient.
9. Manual remote control test Set the flight mode to the manual remote flight state to test whether the nose, fuselage and rear wing can be operated according to the instructions. The manual remote control mode is mainly used for emergency treatment when the drone takes off and land in case of special circumstances.
10. Prepare before takeoff.
Before taking off, check whether the aerial camera and the flight control system are connected. The parachute bag is on standby, parallel to the wind direction, and no personnel vehicles are moving.
11, the drone takes off
After the preparations are completed, you can take off. At this time, the operator should hold the manual lever to stand by, observe the situation on the spot, and manually adjust the attitude and flight height of the aircraft at any time as needed. Release order, take off
12. Flight monitoring
This process mainly does three tasks: 1 monitoring the altitude, speed and flight path; 2 monitoring the engine speed and airspeed, ground speed; 3 checking the number of photo shots at any time.
13, drone landing
After the drone has completed the aerial flight according to the set route, it landed at the designated location. The manual remote control operator is on standby at the designated place, and the landing site is adjusted in time when the windy scene and the personnel move around at the landing site.
14, data export check
After landing, the photo data and the aircraft as a whole are inspected and evaluated, combined with the line rate and attitude angle to determine whether or not to go around, and continue to complete the aerial mission or transition in the nearby area. Theoretically, the flight control range of a landing point is 300 square kilometers...
Copy flight data and aerial photography of drones. Nationally, UAV remote sensing technology has been applied to rural land rights determination work many times. The technology is mature, not only the accuracy of the results is much better than the traditional measurement method, but also the work time is greatly shortened. It has reduced the workload of rural grassroots management personnel, saved manpower and material resources, and is worth promoting in the work of rural land security. The surveying and mapping drone is serving all aspects of economic and social development with its high mobility, cost-effectiveness and high security.

Science/Technology › Counting Watermelon With Drone,precision Agriculture For Development by Allen2019(op): 9:08am On Sep 27, 2019
Standing in the field, Lu Jiyu raised the Notuzi X85 drone to a height of 100 meters by manipulating the remote control in his hand, taking a picture of the whole watermelon field, and then using the big data formula to calculate the number of watermelons, quickly completing the past and causing headaches for farmers. The "number of watermelons" puzzle.
Lu Ji’s Hualien is an important watermelon producing area in Taiwan, with an annual output of more than 30,000 tons, ranking first in Taiwan. Lu Jiyu’s Shoufeng Township in Hualien County, the watermelon produced, feels the market with a full, sweet mouth. Because of the large number and difficulty in calculating, the farmers usually only have to "guess" the quantity, and then negotiate the price with the middle, which is often suppressed.
Recalling the experience of watermelons in the past, Lu Jiyan said frankly, how to calculate is not good. He cooperated with friends who love to play drones and developed the use of MMC drone high-altitude image inventory technology to finally solve this problem. It was later proved that the amount estimated by the aerial shot was quite accurate. With reference data, farmers have the bargaining power of bargaining with middlemen, and they can choose favorable timings for shipments based on market conditions to obtain greater returns. Later, this technology was also used to monitor crop growth and assess a wide range of areas such as damage.
Lu Jiu, 39, originally worked as an information engineer in the city. 9 years ago, due to his father’s car accident, he returned home to take care of his father and his home. After returning home, Lu Jizhen found that the farmers faced many problems in production and sales: they were afraid of extreme weather caused by typhoons and reduced production, and they were afraid that the high yield of crops would lead to low prices. One of the reasons behind these phenomena may be the asymmetry of information. Producers do not know the supply and demand situation in the market and cannot adjust production in advance.
Therefore, Lu Jiyu combined his information background and financial expertise to unite local farmers to establish an online marketing platform “Shoufeng Impression” and become a broker for many small farmers. This new production and sales model allows agricultural products to reach consumers directly, shortening the distance between the production area and consumers, and greatly reducing the cost of intermediate links. Today, "Shoufeng Impression" has dozens of agricultural products such as Shoufeng watermelon, eagle hunting rice, chestnut sweet potato and pumpkin. Through careful packaging and promotion, these agricultural products have gradually gained a reputation, and they have achieved stable sales, so that farmers can taste the sweetness.
In the process of farming, Lu Jiyu also constantly seeks innovative and scientific field management methods, and drives farmers to strengthen technological transformation to improve crop yield, quality and added value while taking into account the environment and nature.
For example, they advocate "non-toxic" cultivation. Lu Jiwei once saw farmers spraying pesticides to prevent pests and diseases, causing a large number of sparrows and pigeons to die. The eagle picked up the dead bodies of these birds and followed them. In order to change the way of producing rice with pesticides in the past, they introduced and trained the chestnut-winged eagle, used to drive birds and protect rice, and successfully built the “Eagle Hunting Rice” brand. After the introduction of this rice, it was sought after by the market and the price per kilogram was as high as several hundred Taiwan dollars.
“Farming birds and protecting rice is actually costly, but the educational value is higher. Let consumers know the true source of rice, let the producers know that the reduction of pesticides, production and profit will not decrease, and create a win-win situation.” Lu Jiyu hopes that through a series of innovative attempts, it advocates the concept of friendly treatment of land, and enables rural areas to achieve transformation and upgrading, and farmers will obtain higher returns.
Lu Jichen also noted the rapid development of the mainland in the fields of drones, agricultural technology, and e-commerce in recent years, and has generated strong interest in this. Not to mention the dominant position of Dajiang in the field of consumer drones, industrial drones are also at the forefront of the world in terms of industrial applications, such as MMC Corbett, Yuneec Soaring, Extreme Flying and other drone companies, also in their respective The field continues to be deeply cultivated and has achieved various results. Two months ago, Lu Jiyu was invited to Fujian to participate in the Straits Forum Quantai Youth Exchange Exchange, which is also his first trip to the mainland. "Although only half a day, but the impression is very profound." Lu Jizhen believes that cross-strait agricultural development has its own advantages, exchanges and integration have sparked sparks among the two sides of the strait, and the potential for cross-strait cooperation is enormous. Seeing the advantages of the mainland in UAV applications, he contacted MMC Corbett, procured their industrial drones, used drones to implement precision agriculture, prevent disasters, and detect crop growth.
Lu Ji's ancestral home was Quanzhou, Fujian Province. When he returned to his hometown, he was excited and special. He had a feeling of familiarity with the place where his ancestors lived. He hopes that there will be more opportunities to communicate with the mainland youth in the future, and through practical cooperation, jointly promote the development of cross-strait agriculture, science and technology and other fields.
It is often said that Hualien belongs to the back mountain of Taiwan. "Good mountains, good water, and boring." Lu Jizhen feels that he is more busy in Hualien than in the metropolis, and still has a long way to go in promoting agricultural transformation and smart agriculture. "There are still many things to do, and I will continue to work hard."
Science/Technology › Re: Chinese Fire Drones Easily Extinguish High-rise Fires by Allen2019(op): 9:03am On Sep 27, 2019
eTECTIV:
While we are here struggling with ordinary power and d few fire stations don't even have fire trucks not to mention water. Our govt is even talking of beginning to regulate d use of drones lol
Seriously speaking, it would be a great help when it comes a fire where no one wants to get close to it. And if such fire is a matter of combining fuel, air, and an ignition source, it makes sense to remove one of these to extinguish the fire.

Compared with the firefighting professionalism of the fire brigade, our drones may have a slight advantage, and our current products are our main inspecting and playing one function (high-definition PTZ inspection and timely detection + timely elimination of fire source) The warhead of the fire-fighting bomb can penetrate the 10mm thick glass and enter the building to extinguish the fire. The fire extinguisher can assist to eliminate the small-source fire. This type of mission-based drone still has many advantages.

Science/Technology › Status And Trends Of UAV Aerial Mapping Analysis by Allen2019(op): 9:27am On Sep 26, 2019
First- Overview of UAV surveying and mapping

Companies around the world not only integrate drones into their daily workflows, but they also rely on data acquisition capabilities provided by drones because they save a lot of time and money compared to traditional data acquisition methods. While industry-leading manufacturers such as DJI and senseFly are still the front-runners, 84% of UAV mapping is now available on drone models priced at $1,500 or less. Most mapping uses an affordable quadcopter drone model, thanks primarily to advances in drone hardware and battery life, which were previously only available on more expensive drone models.

However, compared with consumer drones, industrial-grade UAVs have advantages in terms of hardware and battery life. Chinese industrial drone manufacturer MMC is in a leading position in industrial drone development, whether in no Human-machine mapping applications still have corresponding solutions in the fields of public safety, fire protection, emergency rescue, inspection, etc., and their R&grin and production of hydrogen fuel drones can last up to 4 hours, while vertical take-off and landing The drone's Griffion M8 has a lifetime of 81 minutes. Compared with the application of consumer-grade drone mapping and small scenes, industrial-grade drones are more suitable for large-scale land mapping, such as land resources, boundary mapping, water mapping, etc. Wait. At the same time, industrial-grade drones can be used in a variety of complex environments.

Now, drones can easily capture data, making it easy to model, manage, and share data across a variety of software platforms, making it a resource for GIS analysts, surveyors, and pilots. Clearly, drone mapping provides faster, more accurate decisions for key business stakeholders by providing fast aerial data.

Second-the status quo of UAV surveying and mapping

Compared with traditional terrain mapping and image aerial photography methods, UAV mapping can save more than three times the time and cost. Data collection, which may have taken days or weeks, can be completed in a matter of hours and quickly completed modeling analysis. Companies are integrating aviation data into their workflows to streamline operations and increase efficiency. Although the regulatory compliance, safety, and training of drones are still an obstacle to development, the commercial drone industry has reached a critical point, and the impact of drones cannot be ignored. Drones are more than just toys for lovers. They are powerful data collection devices that can change the way many companies operate, providing a return on investment for companies large and small.
The specialization of drone mapping brings great value to companies in all walks of life. In the coming year, large companies in the construction, agriculture, mining, and measurement sectors are expected to invest heavily in these services. From now until 2020, Goldman Sach predicts that corporate and private governments will spend $13 billion on drones, and market opportunities for drones will reach $100 billion, thanks to the growing business and civil government sectors. demand.

Third- the trend of UAV mapping technology

When do drones freely enter low-altitude airspace, making them an important part of our daily lives? The new UAV mapping application is booming in different industries, and the application of new technology makes our mapping and mapping work easier and more interesting.

1.Sensor technology

The price reduction of advanced sensor technology now allows them to be used with drone platforms, and some companies have provided a range of surveying sensors, including multispectral, hyperspectral and thermal imaging cameras and lidars. UAVs with thermal imaging technology can be used for rescue operations, which is the most common function of thermal imaging technology for UAV mapping. (In a fire mission, you can find a fire through a thick smoke to save human life!) Most of today's drone mapping uses are based on conventional RGB vision sensors.

1.Artificial intelligence technology

With the rise of artificial intelligence drone mapping, AI can be used to plan flight routes, and intelligent data processing and analysis capabilities will be greatly improved, and these are just the beginning of artificial intelligence applications! AI will continue to simplify UAV mapping and mapping, making drone mapping easier to use.

Machine learning is especially useful for image recognition, but machine learning has unlimited imagination in the field of UAV mapping and mapping. For example, it can be applied to drone digital photogrammetry for intelligent recognition and tracking of objects of interest; In the construction industry, it is possible to monitor whether the site personnel have taken safety measures.

1.Automatic control technology

At present, drones are usually manually controlled by the operator on-site, or they must use software to plan flights to complete single or multiple flight surveys. This mode of operation has a large workload and is difficult to operate in large-scale surveying. The drone formation of the drones basically adopts differential assisted positioning technology, but in free space, there is no such condition. The principle of differential assisted positioning technology is to achieve fast centimeter-level precision positioning by comparing GPS or Beidou satellite signals with known real base station coordinates. The development of automatic control technology for drones will soon solve this problem. Imagine that instead of controlling a single drone, the operator controls dozens of hundreds of autonomous flying drones. The control system divides the mapping range for them and performs real-time flight path tracking. The drone equipment can dynamically according to other The location of the device automatically corrects the flight path.

1.Battery life

In addition to portability, another important factor for drones is battery life. The more you save in size and weight, the longer the drone can last on a single charge, and today's flight time is the biggest limit of drone technology, the size of the area you can draw in a single flight. There is a linear relationship between battery life and battery life.

In general, fixed-wing UAVs can measure up to several square kilometers in one flight, while small-volume rotary-wing UAVs can achieve a large number of new applications by extending battery life, improving the currently available UAV mapping service.

Fourth. UAV mapping opportunities and challenges

Consumer drones are becoming more mainstream, and commercial applications are growing in all walks of life. Although there are still obstacles in terms of security, privacy, and insurance, there is no sign of a slowdown in the global drone market. The drone market has grown rapidly in recent years, with annual sales of drones growing at record levels.

From the perspective of market demand, according to the research data of iResearch, the drone market can be divided into four categories: aerial photography market (consumption), agriculture and forestry plant protection market, security market and power inspection market, and the corresponding market scale by 2025. About 30 billion yuan, 20 billion yuan, 15 billion yuan, and 5 billion yuan, the total scale will reach 70 billion. Clearly, demand in the industry-level market is taking a larger share of the entire drone market. The aerial photography of drones in the air, the collection and finishing of geographic information, can greatly improve the efficiency and quality of grassroots surveying and mapping work.

UAV surveying and mapping(http://www.mmcuav.com/surveying-mapping/
) has many advantages such as high precision, high speed, and low cost. UAV surveying and mapping data products have short production time, strong timeliness and high resolution. They have been widely used in land mapping, planning and design, as well as rescue and disaster relief. The current aerial photography technology of drones also has obvious shortcomings: first, the smoothness of flight is not good. This happens to be triggered by the "advantage" of "light body". Second, sensor technology should be improved. Due to technical limitations and requirements, ordinary UAVs are currently unable to carry high-precision sensors, so the information and images with high precision required for surveying and mapping of large scales cannot be met. Finally, it is too dependent on the communication system. Because the control program of the drone is highly dependent on the GPS and the communication system, on the one hand, it is affected by the topographical factors during the execution of the aerial survey task; on the other hand, there are also security concerns, and the hacker can interfere with the coding program. The normal flight of the drone.
Science/Technology › What's The Mapping Drone In The Eyes Of Frontline Workers? by Allen2019(op): 1:34pm On Sep 25, 2019
Some people often ask, what should an ideal mapping drone look like? I don't have the practical experience to dare to talk about it, but the use of drones in the field of surveying and mapping has been relatively mature and extensive. The UAV channel interviewed a number of first-line operators and industrial drone manufacturers. —MMC UAV. Among them are flying hands and technicians.

1.stable and reliable

Several practitioners first mentioned that they should be stable and reliable, and no one wants the equipment to drop the chain at a critical moment. Moreover, the cost of surveying and mapping drones in the industry is very expensive, and the equipment used for tasks such as three-dimensional surveying and mapping is more expensive, and the economic loss of falling is very large.

2.long battery life

Everyone also mentioned that the battery life is longer, because the frequent take-off and landing time also increases the risk. The long battery life means higher work efficiency and higher safety.

3.multi-rotor or fixed wing?

In the field of surveying and mapping, there are two types of drones, fixed-wing and multi-rotor, which are more practical.

A technician from MMC said that the fixed wing has a long life and fast speed and is suitable for large-area operations. In this respect, MMC owns the Griffion M8 VTOL fixed-wing drone, which has a cruising time of up to 150 minutes and a flying distance of 200KM, which can be applied to most surveying scenes.

The multi-rotor's take-off and landing is more convenient and cheaper, and is suitable for small-area operations. Three-dimensional modeling operations such as tilt photography are small plots, and generally multi-rotors are also used. If you are using a multi-rotor UAV for surveying, it is recommended to use the MMC Skylle 1550 drone. This drone has a 81-minute battery life, a 12KG load and a communication distance of up to 20Km, which can effectively expand the outdoor working range.

4.high precision

The introduction of flying hands in the first-line operation, the surveying and mapping industry has higher requirements for precision. Using RTK technology can achieve centimeter-level accuracy, without having to play too many phase control points, can greatly reduce the workload in the field.

5.takeoff and landing is convenient

The flying hand of the first-line operation also requires the drone to take off and land conveniently. According to the introduction, the general fixed wing can be ejected or thrown up by hand, and the landing is parachute. However, some places with complicated terrain cannot meet the requirements of the aircraft's take-off and landing, and the drone has the ability to take off and land.

6.portable, easy to deploy

The outsiders also hope that the drones are portable and easy to deploy. Because some of the missions are in poor condition and the vehicle is difficult to pass, it is necessary to carry the drone on foot. In addition, if the aircraft is small and can meet the demand, it is convenient to hold the normal work.

7.load? Basically no requirement

Everyone has not asked for the load. According to the introduction, the equipment used for surveying and mapping is mainly micro-single and SLR cameras, and the load of 1 kg is enough. However, some mapping drones equipped with lidar have load requirements. LIDAR, IMU, and camera add up to about 5 kg.
Science/Technology › Chinese Fire Drones Easily Extinguish High-rise Fires by Allen2019(op): 8:21am On Sep 24, 2019
Recently, the People’s Daily published a video of a fire-fighting drone fire extinguishing on the overseas social platform. It can be seen that the drone quickly extinguished the fire with efficient fire-fighting equipment. This video has been praised by thousands of people, because China is the first country in the world to solve the problem of high-level fire fighting, and has a positive role in promoting high-level fire fightinghttp://www.mmcuav.com/firefighting-6/
.
https://i.imgur.com/9aOrH9a.png
As we all know, with the development of society, there are more and more high-rise buildings, and even more than 30 floors of residential houses are common phenomena. Once a fire broke out at a high level, the existing fire-fighting equipment could not carry out effective rescue. The most important reason was that the existing equipment could not deliver the fire-fighting equipment to such a high height. When the firefighters rushed from the inside to the fire site, it basically caused the fire. Serious property damage may even cause certain casualties.

The fire drone effectively solves this problem. First of all, the fire drone can directly reach the fire floor without ignoring the height, and the shortcoming of the load can be solved by carrying a high-efficiency fire extinguishing agent. For urban fire protection, MMC recently developed the APOLLO FB1 airborne broken window fire extinguisher, which was specially developed to extinguish fires in high-rise buildings or specific areas of the city. It uses an electronic quick-start trigger method to quickly break the window and enter the room after the fire-fighting projectile is fired. The back side is sprayed with dry powder to achieve full flooding and impact coverage. In addition to horizontal fire extinguishing, Corbet also has APOLLO FE3 fire extinguisher products, carrying a dry powder with a net content of 3kg, using electronic quick-start triggering method, vertical rapid spraying of fire-extinguishing dry powder, effective fire extinguishing range can reach 7m3, and can effectively protect people's lives and property in a timely and effective manner. . In addition, the drone has a huge advantage, can ignore the terrain factors, reach the location where the fire truck is difficult to reach, not only makes the fire fighting work faster, but also the point-to-point fire extinguishing greatly improves the fire extinguishing efficiency.
Science/Technology › UAV Becomes An Important Device For Traffic Patrol by Allen2019(op): 7:31am On Sep 23, 2019
It is understood that many countries including China and Canada have already launched drone air patrols and participated in highway traffic management. The drones focus on traffic violations such as emergency lane parking and big car occupation.
UAV patrol duty is mainly used for aerial photography to observe road traffic congestion and capture traffic violations. According to the traffic police who used the professional training of the UAV in the early stage, within the scope of the radiation coverage of the drone, it can be said where to shoot, and all kinds of violations of traffic rules and road safety can not escape its law. The trajectory of all vehicles and the number plate of the vehicle can be taken very clearly. For some motor vehicles that do not follow the prescribed lanes, illegal lanes for illegal lanes, and emergency lanes, they can be captured, providing strong evidence for the traffic police department to be punished according to law; and capturing and exposing some illegal activities such as retrograde vehicles. Elimination of blind spots in road enforcement.
It is reported that most of the traffic police departments in China currently use the most advanced UAV monitoring equipment, including the Thyea Z40 HD zoom head and the Cirrutitan detachable tether system independently developed by MMC UAV(http://www.mmcuav.com
). The Z40 camera pan/tilt is custom-made with a 40x optical zoom lens with a pixel count of 25 million. Even in the air, the inside of the car and the cab can be clearly seen. The Cirrutitan detachable tether system is designed to deliver power to the drone for long periods of time in the air, enabling the drone to perform 24-hour flight monitoring in the air.
Science/Technology › UAV Surveying And Mapping Becomes A New Trend by Allen2019(op): 7:31am On Sep 20, 2019
The Indian Bureau of Surveying and Mapping)(http://www.mmcuav.com/surveying-mapping/
) plans to use 300 drones to help map the map so that the country has a more accurate map in the future.
For a long time, India maps lacked higher precision and electronics. According to the "India Times" reported on the 16th, the Indian Bureau of Surveying and Mapping for the first time plans to use 300 drones to map. A national map policy previously adopted by India clearly stated that all socio-economic development activities, natural resource conservation, disaster mitigation planning and infrastructure development require high-quality stereo data. Officials involved in the project said that the use of drones would enable them to produce high-resolution images of rural areas, which would facilitate the digitization of maps. Gilish Kumar, Director of the Indian Bureau of Surveying and Mapping, said: "Our goal is to provide high-resolution maps." He went on to say that aerial photography was used to map earlier, but this method is very expensive and has limitations. The drone can fly freely over a wider area, helping to capture sharper and higher resolution images.
In fact, with the development of drones and 3D point cloud model technology in recent years, not only India, but also many countries have begun to explore the application value of drones. The impact of drones is clearly deepening and sweeping the world. . As one of the few companies with production capacity in the whole industry chain, China MMC drones have rich experience in surveying and mapping projects in many countries, including urban mapping, river mapping and land mapping. The MMC drone can preset the route and collect data automatically over the work area. In addition, Corbett has established cooperative relationships with a number of surveying and mapping software industry giants such as Pix4Dmapper, and introduced the collected data into an advanced data processing platform to achieve more accurate and demanding reporting requirements. At present, more and more units have begun to use the Corbett UAV for surveying and mapping. While meeting the accuracy requirements of surveying and mapping, they have also achieved good economic benefits.
Science/Technology › MMC Released Griflion H Hydrogen Fuel Cell Drone by Allen2019(op): 4:50am On Sep 17, 2019
The leading industrial drone manufacturer for commercial drone solutions of China- MMC. recently launched Griflion H, a groundbreaking modular hydrogen fuel cell drone platform that uses proven, stable hydrogen fuel cells(http://www.mmcuav.com/portfolio-items/hydrogen-fuel-cell-system/
). Greatly improve the endurance of the drone. The high protection standards and long battery life make it suitable for use in extremely harsh environments (such as rain and snow, alpine regions, high-temperature fires, etc.), and will make a difference in many fields such as rescue and field exploration.
1, modular design to meet a wider range of needs
Designed for a range of applications in surveying, inspection and monitoring, Griflion H is the first of its kind to offer an adaptable, modular hydrogen fuel drone platform with a maximum load of 5.1kg. A variety of payloads can be replaced at any time according to the needs of the operation. The load is quickly integrated with the task compartment and quickly taken off. A multi-purpose machine is available to meet a wide range of operational needs.
2, 15 hours long battery life, improve work efficiency
The voyage is a prerequisite for industrial-grade drones to solve all operational problems, and Copte has maintained the history of drones. It is reported that the Griflion H drone released this time is equipped with a 9L size gas cylinder, the maximum gas storage capacity is 27L. When using this capacity hydrogen fuel gas cylinder, the drone is fully loaded for 15 hours, and the drone is refreshed again. The battery life avoids the multiple take-off and landing operations of large-area and long-line operations in the past, greatly improving the operation efficiency. This is also the biggest highlight of the Griflion H new drone launch conference.
3. Industrial-grade flight control and navigation system for better stability
It is reported that this new hydrogen fuel cell drone Griflion H uses a specially developed industrial-grade flight control and navigation system to realize the autonomous flight of the drone's vertical take-off and landing, flight attitude conversion, mission cruise and so on. High reliability and advanced control algorithm make the UAV have good stability, fast response, high navigation accuracy and good wind resistance.
In addition to the development of drones, MMC Aerospace is one of the few companies in the UAV industry that has the full production capacity of the entire industry chain, providing complete project solutions for customers around the world – from project inspection and mapping to inspection and Monitoring. The official launch of the Griflion H drone has enabled MMC to have more efficient product support in a number of UAV customization projects, consolidating its leadership position in the entire UAV industry chain.
Science/Technology › MMC UAV System Won The Championship Of Surveying And Mapping Competition by Allen2019(op): 1:29pm On Sep 11, 2019
On September 4th, the first “Sanhe Digital Cup” Gansu Provincial Surveying and Mapping Geographic Information Industry's UAV mapping skills competition was held at Gansu Forestry Vocational and Technical College.

Science/Technology › Medical Logistics Drone First Flight by Allen2019(op): 8:04am On Sep 09, 2019
Using drones to transport medical samples such as tissue sections, blood, serum, vaccines, organs, etc., at the signing ceremony of the medical logistics drone project and the cooperation of industry, university and research institute held at the Second Hospital of Nanhua University, this scene made the witness praise.

During the operation of the medical logistics drone, the eye-opening, well-trained staff independently loaded the safety box (packages, blood, and other medical samples) into the drone and passed the artificial intelligence application. Start the drone. Then, the drone was autonomously flew to the pathology department on the 5th floor of the destination outpatient hall on the 9th floor of the second inpatient department of Nanhua Second Hospital along the scheduled route, and the safety box was received by another staff member.
https://i.imgur.com/zgkMmyD.jpg
The medical logistics drone has a load capacity of up to 2.5 kg, an infrared sensor is used to guide its take-off and landing, and in an emergency, the drone has a built-in parachute to ensure it falls safely on the ground.

It is understood that the hospital is the first hospital in the country to use the UAV logistics transmission system. After using the drone logistics, the inspection efficiency can be improved, and the position of the inspection center can be flexibly arranged to reduce the repeated investment of large-scale inspection equipment.

However, limited by the drone load and endurance, the application of medical logistics drones needs further research and development, but according to the information that the reporter knows, the current domestic industrial drone manufacturer MMC has developed and produced the Skylle 1550 load capacity. It has reached 15 kilograms and has a lifetime of 81 minutes in the air. If it is equipped with the hydrogen fuel power system developed by MMC, the battery life can reach an astonishing 4.5 hours. It is reported that the company is currently working with a Chinese medical institution to develop and discuss how to solve the harsh conditions of drug and medical device transportation.
