2. Case background
1. Overview of the project background
Fireworks and firecrackers are a traditional Chinese craft industry with a history of nearly 1,400 years. They play an extremely important role in national celebrations and folk ceremonies. With the development of science and technology, fireworks and firecrackers have stronger aesthetic and practical value. my country is the world’s largest producer and exporter of fireworks and firecrackers. The products are sold in more than 160 countries and regions in the world, with an annual export of about 300,000 tons, accounting for 90% of global production and about 80% of world trade. Most of the foundries of famous fireworks and firecracker brands such as Phantom in the United States, WECO and FKW Kelle in Germany are undertaken by enterprises in Liuyang, Hunan. Now these foundry companies are also starting to establish themselves and develop their own mid-to-high-end brands.
The production of fireworks and firecrackers in my country is mainly distributed in Liuyang and Liling cities in Hunan Province, Pingxiang Shangli and Wanzai cities and counties in Jiangxi Province and Beihai City in Guangxi, and a small amount of production is also in Jianhu, Jiangsu, Tonglu, Zhejiang and Anping, Hebei. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 7,600 fireworks and firecrackers manufacturers in my country, more than 3,600 wholesale companies, and more than 1.5 million employees. They are mainly distributed in Hunan, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Guangxi and other provinces (regions). Among them, Hunan, The two provinces in Jiangxi have the highest output, with a total of more than 20 million boxes, accounting for more than 80% of my country’s annual output. At present, the production and sales of fireworks and firecrackers have become the pillar industries in the economic development of some parts of our country, and they play a pivotal role in the development of the local national economy, especially the development of the export-oriented economy.
However, because fireworks and firecrackers are flammable and explosive, they belong to the scope of high-risk manufacturing industries, and major safety accidents frequently occur during the production, operation, transportation, and storage of fireworks and firecrackers.
In order to strengthen the safety supervision of fireworks and firecrackers and curb the occurrence of fireworks and firecrackers safety accidents, the national safety production management and supervision agencies at all levels have promulgated a number of relevant laws and regulations, such as the “Safety Production Law of the People’s Republic of China” and “Fireworks and Firecracker Safety Management Regulations” , “Regulations on the Safety Management of Civil Explosives”, etc. Since the promulgation of these laws and regulations, they have played a certain role in deterring fireworks accidents across the country. However, illegal production, operation, transportation, and setting off of fireworks and firecrackers in some places have been repeatedly prohibited. Accidents have occurred from time to time, causing lives and properties of the people. Serious loss.
The facts show that the safety of my country’s fireworks and firecrackers industry still needs to be further strengthened. This is because the fireworks and firecrackers industry includes a huge industrial chain. The processes of production, operation, transportation, and storage have the characteristics of wide coverage, strong liquidity, and high uncertainty, resulting in It is very difficult to comprehensively supervise the fireworks and firecrackers industry. Therefore, the use of advanced technology to assist the comprehensive supervision process of the fireworks industry has important practical significance.
According to the country’s advocacy for the development of emerging strategic industries and the “12th Five-Year Plan for Work Safety Technology” issued by the State Administration of Work Safety, how the dangerous goods industry can take the lead in applying IoT technology to improve the effectiveness of safety management is an emerging issue. Subject. The fireworks and firecracker logistics supervision and service platform based on the Internet of Things technology can be blocked by RFID electronic tags, Beidou (GPS) navigation systems, on-board systems, oil level sensors, video monitoring devices, tire pressure sensors and other information sensing equipment, according to the agreed agreement , Connecting related “things” such as fireworks and firecrackers and their transportation vehicles to the Internet for information exchange and communication to realize intelligent identification, positioning, perception, information interaction, monitoring and information services. This system can effectively strengthen the comprehensive supervision of the production, storage, transportation and operation of fireworks and firecrackers, curb the phenomenon of illegal production of fireworks and firecrackers from the source, promote the further improvement and improvement of the safety production conditions and safety management level of fireworks and firecrackers enterprises, and promote the safety of fireworks and firecrackers. The supervision mechanism has been further improved and improved to effectively reduce fireworks and firecracker accidents, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of ensuring the safety of people’s lives and property.
2. Current problems in the market
In the current transportation, handover, and monitoring of civil explosive dangerous goods such as fireworks and firecrackers, there are the following problems:
1. Traditional lead seal supervision consumes a lot of manpower and can only achieve random inspection and release
In order to effectively carry out real-time on-transit monitoring of cargo transportation vehicles and ensure the safety of vehicle personnel and dangerous goods on the way, the current general method is to add mechanical seals to the cargo compartment doors, and the staff will check the appearance of the mechanical seals after arriving at the destination. Whether the goods are intact or not is used to judge whether the goods are transported safely. Although this method is simple and practical, it is very easy to imitate and cheat, and there are great security management loopholes and risks.
2. There are certain regulatory blind spots in the transportation process
As the current method uses “the door of the cargo compartment at the place of departure plus a mechanical seal, and after arriving at the destination, the staff checks whether the appearance of the mechanical seal is intact” to determine whether the goods are transported safely in transit, causing problems in the transportation of dangerous goods. Government agencies, enterprises, etc. cannot know the situation of the goods in real time, such as whether the door has been opened, whether the goods have been added, etc., and even the theft of high-value goods on the way is difficult to control, resulting in the loss of a large number of corporate assets.
3. Lack of a public information service platform
In recent years, in the transportation of dangerous goods in our country, explosion accidents have occurred frequently, causing heavy casualties. Management loopholes, government orders are not communicated, government departments are all in information islands, information cannot be shared between departments and departments, and they cannot better understand the transportation of dangerous goods, resulting in weak supervision.
3. Project concept
In order to explore solutions for the road transportation management of civil explosive dangerous goods such as fireworks and firecrackers, Shanghai Jiayijia Information Technology Co., Ltd. plans to construct an international fireworks and firecracker freight information management system for Shanghai Yongjing Logistics Co., Ltd. in the process of building a supervision platform Useful attempts.
First, the platform intends to increase the means of information collection. In this platform, through the organic integration of Beidou (GPS) navigation technology, GIS technology, GPRS technology,RFIDTechnology, vehicle-mounted systems, and various IoT sensing technologies such as fuel level, video, tire pressure, etc., realize real-time monitoring and dispatching and unified management of fireworks and firecracker transportation vehicles. The acquisition of information includes multiple access methods from low-speed data to high-speed data. The information platform has commonly used functions such as real-time vehicle tracking and monitoring, historical track record query, emergency alarm, area/route deviation alarm, no-go area alarm, unified vehicle information management, and employee information management. The entire platform has also explored the means of logistics information management and researched the visualization function of logistics information.
Secondly, the platform intends to increase the nationwide inter-provincial data exchange capabilities. This ability is very powerful for the supervision of road transportation of dangerous goods. In the traditional management system, transportation vehicles are under the jurisdiction of provinces, and information is not exchanged. At present, the monitoring platforms of various provinces are operated independently, and the transportation of fireworks and firecrackers often needs to cross domains, which creates regulatory obstacles for cross-provincial transportation. Through data exchange, the management department of the accident site will be able to understand the vehicle and cargo information in a timely manner, thereby improving the efficiency of disposal.
Our ultimate goal is to manage the entire logistics supply chain of fireworks and firecrackers. At present, through modern logistics technologies such as Beidou (GPS) navigation technology, RFID technology, GIS technology, wireless data network, vehicle-mounted system, etc., a fireworks and firecracker logistics information supervision system has been established for the tracking, monitoring, and management of the road transportation logistics process of fireworks and firecrackers. , This system not only has the basic characteristics of ordinary logistics information service platform, but also has stronger specificity than ordinary logistics information service system. This specificity is reflected in the system will have a rescue plan subsystem, according to the nature of different dangerous goods, transportation equipment, location, climate and weather, etc., a series of accident remediation, handling methods, means, organization, team, and equipment are formulated in advance. Wait for a complete set of implementation plans. In the event of an accident, according to the measures specified in the plan, it can be immediately put in place and carried out targeted rescue, gaining time, gaining the initiative, and minimizing the harm and loss of the accident. We believe that by building such a system, the management of the transportation of civil explosive dangerous goods such as fireworks and firecrackers will run through the entire supply chain from raw materials to commodity sales.
Three, the main points of the case solution
1. The technical principle of the project
The platform is based on Internet of Things technologies such as RFID, Beidou (GPS) navigation, oil pressure, in-vehicle systems, video, and tire pressure.
