Manhole Protector: From Manhole lock to Manhole cover open detector

Manholes leading to underground supply systems are essential for their maintenance, for example, it concerns telecommunication networks, water supply networks, gas supply networks and electricity networks, and so on. Although it is very crucial to a city’s operations, the manhole can be one of the least protected and most vulnerable assets.

Nowadays manhole cover failure such as metal theft (for manhole cover or copper cable underneath it) is on the rise and generally becomes a society issue. An unauthorized opening of manhole is very dangerous, it can cause deadly fall-in accidents to people and also inflict a huge amount of damage to public property.

The conventional Manhole locks

To protect the manhole and prevent it from being opened by simply a manhole cover hook, conventionally, the use of the manhole cover locks has been implemented. One problem is that it is hard for the manhole O&M agency to manage so many manhole keys, sometimes the keys are lost and this increases the 
difficulty. Another problem is that it may make the road surface uneven with the additional key structure on the manhole.

With the new technology developments, the need for a fully automated manhole monitoring system has become practical. Automated monitoring of manhole and manhole cover is part of the development of smart cities and Internet of Things (IoT) which are the targets for modern governments to control and monitor the
assets in cities.

Manhole cover open detector

With 6=’s Manhole Cover Open Detector, you can deploy real-time monitoring and protection against metal theft, vandalism, and unauthorized access of manholes.

The product utilizes a range of commercially available, off- theshelf sensors to detect and prevent manhole related incidents. Signals are transmitted from the sensor device to a cloud platform via LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Network) technologies, such as GPRS, NB-IoT, etc. The sensors in combination with the cloud-based dashboard will allow you to monitor and well plan the maintenance of manholes.

Key Features

• Detect open/closed status of a manhole cover
• Easy to install, wireless communication and free maintenance
• Cloud based platform with GIS (Geographic information system) dashboard
• Automatic alarm and message notification support

Benefits

• Monitor, report, predict and optimize your manholes
• Pick up on unauthorized activities and well plan maintenance schedules
• 24/7 monitoring with multiple status messages updated per day and instant alarm notification
• Total flexibility and reliability, can be deployed in urban or rural environments

Project Goal Recognition

We understand each customer has their own unique knowledge about industrial smart electronics solution, they may face different challenges, thus have different project requirements with different expectation.

Due to the above, the starting point of our job is to recognize the actual project target, helping our customers address the multiple aspects of the whole project, from installation, user experience to maintenance.

Diagnosis

Our product team together with skilled engineers, project managers and customer success executives would engage directly with customer’s cross-functional teams, to obtain the full view of client’s challenge as well as the possible untapped pain, while presenting clients the existing solutions & case studies , thus clients could make better decisions about what they should buy.

Research & Design

We are able to develop the customized hardware and software precisely as per clients confirmed requirements.

Validation

We would quickly develop a concept-of-approval prototype to realize what clients need, in order to validate the requirements

Test & Trial

We would implement comprehensive testing via trial production, ensuring zero risk of mass-production failure.

Mass Production & Launch

Mass productions come as carefully planned, informed of our customers, with daily logging data shared so that shipment schedule could be reassured.
