Remote Wireless Management for the Guangde Proving Ground that Simulates 70 Pavements and Offers 60 Kilometers of Road Testing
1/23/2019

Car ownership is a widely shared aspiration for members of the middle class across the globe. This is certainly the case in China, where rapid economic growth over the span of multiple decades has propelled the country to the world’s top position as both a producer and buyer of automobiles. According to recent statistics, the total annual volume of automobile sales in China is up to 28.791 million units; demonstrating 3% growth and hitting a new record high. Many internationally renowned automobile companies are positioning themselves to best take advantage of China’s massive, and expanding, domestic market.
Challenge
Key Considerations
Massive Scale
Not only does the Guangde Proving Ground offer vast amounts of road testing length spread across numerous types of test tracks, it requires a variety of test equipment in the environmental analog cabin to conduct quality inspection and identification. The variety of facilities, and the dispersal of their distributions, makes for extremely complicated missions which easily cause vehicle omissions and inefficiencies for auto maintainers.
Extreme Environment
Traditional measures to monitor and protect maintainers were still not in place for managing extreme environmental conditions.
Energy Conservation
Given both the scale of the testing facility and the amount of sophisticated equipment being utilized, managing energy consumption was a major issue. Addressing personnel, facilities, equipment, and environmental considerations, the Guangde Proving Ground wanted an intelligent upgrade capable of delivering a more sophisticated business model.
System Requests
Information Testing
Standard computing devices featuring high-performance, fan-less, and wide-temperature design.
Data Collection
Convenient, safe, and reliable data transmission.
Data Storage and Presentation
A system capable of uploading and updating at any time while allowing users to see the actual real-time test situation through the web page.
