1. Background Introduction
In modern society, although fuel gas stations are constantly being built, the coverage still needs to be further expanded, and the shortage of gas station employees is becoming increasingly prominent. The vigorous development of artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technologies has brought a new solution to the gas station industry-unmanned self-service gas stations.
2. Equipment Requirements
The unmanned self-service gas station model requires a monitoring system that can adapt to harsh outdoor environments and has high fault tolerance to ensure its continuous and stable operation. Unmanned self-service gas stations are located outdoors and face various complex climatic conditions, requiring the monitoring system to have strong environmental adaptability.
In addition, gas station facilities need to be sturdy and durable, and maintenance and replacement work should be minimized, because frequent maintenance and equipment replacement will not only increase costs, but may also lead to the closure of gas stations and affect normal fuel supply.
At the same time, in order to achieve real-time AI analysis of vehicle and driver behavior, the system also needs to have high-performance computing capabilities to better ensure the safety and service quality of gas stations.
In addition, a rich range of ports is also essential, so that high-resolution cameras can be connected and seamless integration with gas pumps can be ensured to achieve all-round monitoring and intelligent fuel supply.
3. Solution recommendation
Product: AIR-030
Features:
(1). Wide temperature and wide voltage
This product has the characteristics of wide temperature and wide voltage, and can adapt to the fuel distribution network across the country. Whether in the cold north or the hot south, whether in areas with large voltage fluctuations or relatively stable areas, it can operate stably, providing solid guarantee for the normal operation of unmanned self-service gas stations.
(2). Powerful computing power
This embedded computer has a computing power of up to 275 Tops, which can support AI reasoning process and high-speed data transmission multi-line parallel. In unmanned self-service gas stations, it can quickly and accurately analyze vehicles and drivers in real time. It can not only identify vehicle models, license plates and other information, but also determine whether there are abnormal situations through analysis of driver behavior.
At the same time, high-speed data transmission capabilities ensure the timely transmission of information, allowing all links of gas stations to work closely and operate efficiently.
(3). Rich interfaces
AIR-030 has 3 2.5G network ports, which can support the connection of high-resolution cameras, multiple IO interfaces, including LAN, DIO, COM, USB3.0, etc., to be closely connected with various equipment in gas stations.
The seamless integration of the equipment and the gas station realizes intelligent fuel supply. When the system detects a dangerous situation, it can automatically cut off the fuel supply, improve production safety, and always protect the safety of the gas station.
4. Compact size
AIR-030 is compact and can adapt to the design of most gas stations. It does not take up too much space and can be cleverly integrated into the overall layout of the gas station. It is like a small and precise "screw". Although it is not large in size, it plays an indispensable role in the system of unmanned self-service gas stations.
