Cable management under RFID tags Industrial digital transformation

Due to the relatively hidden operating environment of cable lines, imperfect operating data and limitations of channel test equipment, it is very difficult to identify and troubleshoot parallel cable trenches on the same path. When a cable line fails, although the fault point can be found through equipment positioning , however, due to unclear on-site markings and the influence of the working well environment, the working well where the faulty cable is located cannot be confirmed, causing the road to be dug and opened by mistake, making the cable fault handling inefficient, and also causing negative social impacts.

Such an accident occurred in Texas in the United States in 1983. Because Texas has a tornado season every year, a tornado disrupted thousands of cables in the town, and the repair of these cables after the accident happened to require interfaces with the cables. One-to-one correspondence, this not only caused a lot of trouble for the cable maintenance department in Texas, but of course they finally repaired it, but from this we can actually find that the cable management problem is very difficult and obvious. Even now, this problem is still difficult to solve.

According to statistics, the proportion of cable failures due to urban construction, ditch fires, and theft is as high as 76%. In some older cities with large-scale urban reconstruction, the proportion is even higher. If the amount of cables in the backend database room was measured in thousands in the past, it has now reached the level of more than 100,000. This is a very severe test for cable management. If there is a fault or cable function problem, how to manage the data cables at the level of 100,000? Find the corresponding cable, which is a big project. At present, in daily cable management, it is difficult to carry out normal inspections; inspection responsibilities cannot be clearly implemented; accidents often occur suddenly, and senior managers are under huge work pressure during large-scale power outages and emergency repairs of power for key users. .

On this issue, RFID will demonstrate its powerful functions and advantages.

Smaller RFID tags can be identified through UHF RFID technology’s more accurate reading capabilities and longer reading range. Engineers only need to install small RFID tags on the cables, and then use UHF handheld reader displays or LED lights to quickly find the corresponding problem cables.

RFID cable management securely binds passive UHF electronic tags that record cable properties to the cables, and uses industrial-grade UHF handheld computers to read the electronic tag information bound to the cables, so that it can be quickly Determine the properties and information of cables to provide reliable scientific management methods for cable inspections, rapid cable fault repairs, and cable Asset system inventory.

Inspection personnel holding RFID Readers can achieve efficient management of the entire process from inspection defect discovery to defect processing, reduce the workload of operation and maintenance personnel, improve the efficiency of daily operation and maintenance management, and ensure the operation and maintenance of the operation department. Standardization and standardization of management work processes; realizing rapid positioning of cable path information, effectively improving the backend digital and information management level of cable paths, and providing guarantee for the safe operation of cable lines.
