Application Plan for Anti-Theft and Unauthorized Opening Alarm Management of Riverside Life-Saving Box Items

I. Project Background and Objectives

(I) Project Background

With the continuous advancement of urban river management and public safety infrastructure, municipal departments have placed emergency rescue boxes along riverbanks at intervals of several hundred meters. These boxes are equipped with lifebuoys, life jackets, rescue poles, rescue ropes, and other emergency supplies, providing critical support for drowning incident rescues. However, these rescue boxes currently face two core issues: firstly, frequent theft and vandalism of the supplies, rendering them unusable in emergencies; secondly, a lack of effective supervision over box openings, making it difficult to trace unauthorized openings during non-emergencies, severely compromising the safety and availability of public rescue resources.

(II) Project Objectives

Leveraging the rescue box's built-in features—solar panel charging, audible alarm upon opening, passive RFID item tracking, built-in camera, and 4G data upload—this project aims to establish a riverside rescue box management system characterized by "real-time monitoring, intelligent alarm, precise traceability, and efficient management." The system targets three core objectives:

1. Eliminate theft of rescue supplies by triggering an immediate alarm when items are moved 1 meter or more away from the box.
2. Supervise box-opening activities, distinguishing between emergency rescues and unauthorized openings, and enabling visual traceability of the opening process.
3. Achieve real-time data upload and remote management, reducing manual inspection costs and improving the efficiency of rescue box management.

II. Product Features and System Design

(I) Core Product Features Overview

(II) System Architecture Design

The system adopts a three-tier "Terminal Device – Cloud Platform – Client" architecture to achieve intelligent end-to-end management:

1. Terminal Device Layer: The riverside rescue boxes, integrating solar power, opening alarm, RFID monitoring, video surveillance, and 4G transmission functions, serving as the core nodes for data collection and alarm triggering.
2. Cloud Platform Layer: Deployed on Alibaba Cloud / Huawei Cloud servers, responsible for receiving alarm information, video data, and item status data uploaded from terminals, performing data storage, analysis, and statistics, and supporting automatic alarm notifications.
3. Client Layer: Includes a Web management console (for municipal management departments) and a mobile APP (for inspection personnel), supporting real-time viewing of box status, alarm information, video playback, and remote assignment of inspection tasks.

III. Implementation Steps and Schedule

(I) Preliminary Preparation Phase (Weeks 1-2)

1. Site Survey: Investigate the location, quantity, and surrounding environment (e.g., lighting conditions, 4G signal coverage) of existing rescue boxes along the riverbank to determine equipment installation and debugging plans.
2. Material Preparation: Procure supporting equipment such as passive RFID tags, HD cameras, and 4G modules. Affix RFID tags to each rescue item in the boxes and register item information into the cloud platform.
3. Platform Setup: Complete the development and deployment of the cloud management platform, implementing functions like data reception, alarm push, video storage, and statistical analysis. Conduct joint debugging tests with terminal devices.

(II) Equipment Installation and Debugging Phase (Weeks 3-4)

1. Equipment Modification: Retrofit existing rescue boxes by installing solar panels, RFID readers, alarm devices, cameras, etc., ensuring stable solar power supply and proper inter-module functionality.
2. On-site Debugging: Test each box's opening alarm function, RFID item monitoring (simulating item removal beyond 1 meter), video recording, and 4G upload function individually, ensuring accurate data transmission to the cloud platform.
3. Personnel Training: Train municipal department staff and inspection personnel on platform operation, mobile APP usage, and routine equipment maintenance (e.g., solar panel cleaning).

(III) Trial Operation and Optimization Phase (Weeks 5-6)

1. Trial Run: Initiate system trial operation, continuously monitor box performance, and record metrics like alarm trigger accuracy, data upload stability, and battery endurance.
2. Problem Optimization: Address issues identified during the trial run (e.g., weak 4G signal, unstable RFID reading) by adjusting device placement or replacing components. Optimize cloud platform response speed and alarm push mechanisms.
3. Acceptance and Handover: Upon completion of the trial run, organize project acceptance with the municipal department. Submit acceptance reports, operation manuals, maintenance manuals, and formally hand over the system for use.

IV. Benefit Analysis

(I) Safety Benefits

1. Effectively Curb Theft: RFID item monitoring and the 1-meter range alarm can reduce theft of rescue supplies by over 95%, ensuring adequate availability during emergencies.
2. Achieve Traceable Opening Behavior: Combined video surveillance and alarm information enable quick distinction between emergency rescues and unauthorized openings, allowing traceability of vandalism or misuse, thereby enhancing protection of public resources.

(II) Management Benefits

1. Reduce Labor Costs: Traditional management requires manual inspections 2-3 times per month. Post-system implementation, remote real-time monitoring allows reducing inspection frequency to once per month, saving approximately 60% in annual inspection costs.
2. Improve Management Efficiency: The cloud platform automatically compiles data on box status, missing items, alarm records, etc., generating monthly/quarterly reports to support municipal departments in formulating maintenance plans.

(III) Social Benefits

By ensuring the integrity and availability of rescue supplies in the boxes, the system enhances emergency response capabilities along riverbanks, providing a more robust safeguard for public safety. It also demonstrates the city's intelligent level of public safety management, increasing citizens' sense of security and satisfaction.

V. Post-Implementation Maintenance and Support

1. Equipment Maintenance: Establish a quarterly maintenance mechanism to clean solar panels, check battery performance, and test RFID reader and camera functionality, ensuring normal equipment operation.
2. Platform Upgrades: Perform functional upgrades to the cloud management platform every six months based on user needs, such as adding data visualization reports, optimizing alarm push rules, and supporting multi-department access control.
3. Emergency Response: Establish a 72-hour emergency service hotline. For equipment failures or abnormal alarms, technical personnel will respond within 2 hours and complete on-site repairs within 72 hours.
