Intelligent Safety Monitoring System for Power Grid Operations Based on AI Vision + Node-RED
(Chongqing Vocational College of Public Transportation, Chongqing 402247, China)
Abstract
To address on-site issues such as high safety level requirements and high risk coefficients in power grid operations, insufficient corresponding safety protection and early warning measures, and a lack of traceability and monitoring mechanisms for personnel operations, an intelligent safety protection and monitoring system based on AI vision + Node-RED is proposed. By integrating a visual system and AI algorithms to collect and process key information such as faces, gloves, and safety helmets, while incorporating a fall detection algorithm, it enables real-time monitoring of personnel operations. Through the construction of a Node-RED visual IoT platform, lightweight, low-code remote safety protection monitoring can be conveniently and efficiently implemented, ensuring the safe operation of industrial sites.
