Predictive Maintenance · Real-time Analytics
Baiyun District needed to raise flood-response, reservoir management, and drainage supervision efficiency despite limited staff, more than 50 flood-prone tunnels, over 90,000 drainage users, fragmented external systems, and no unified digital base for water data and decision-making.
Reported impact
Baiyun District reduced manual patrol effort, improved real-time supervision, extended monitoring to drainage sources and flood points, and gave water managers a faster way to detect issues and coordinate response.
Guangzhou Baiyun District introduced Baidu AI Cloud's Smart Water platform, district brain, and Kaiwu Industrial Internet Platform to create a unified intelligent water-management backbone. The implementation combines a digital base with an intelligence engine in a '1+1+N' architecture, where the water brain supports multiple operational applications across river and reservoir management, water-engineering operations, flood emergency response, and drainage supervision. Field sensors, cameras, and monitoring devices send water-level, rainfall, seepage-pressure, displacement, and discharge data into the platform, where AI models detect abnormal conditions and trigger alerts to mobile apps, control-room screens, and onsite broadcast systems. At Helong Reservoir, the system adds intrusion detection and electronic fences for remote patrol operations.
Cameras, flood sensors, reservoir monitors, and drainage sensors send operational and environmental data into the unified Kaiwu-based platform. The district water brain analyzes those feeds for flood risk, intrusion, compliance, and water-condition anomalies, then pushes alerts to mobile apps, control-room displays, broadcast devices, and enforcement workflows.
At drainage outlets, Baidu AI Cloud deployed smart sensors to collect indicators such as COD, pH, and suspended solids and let the water brain judge compliance (original: 在排水户的排污口布设智能传感器，将对预处理后的污水进行监测，收集化学需氧量、酸碱度、悬浮物等关键指标信息，交由后端的水务大脑进行甄别).
At the reservoir, the system delivers real-time warning, intrusion detection, electronic fences, and key water-condition monitoring to mobile phones, computers, and control-room screens (original: 入侵检测、电子围栏等智能应用落地后…系统就会自动报警…还将信息发送到工作人员手机APP上、监控室大屏上…可统计降雨量、水位、渗流渗压、位移沉降等).
Baidu AI Cloud won the Baiyun District smart-water project in March 2022 and used the Kaiwu Industrial Internet Platform to build a new intelligent water-services foundation (original: 2022年3月，百度智能云中标白云区智慧水务建设项目，将依托开物工业互联网平台，打造新一代水务智能化底座).
The case reports 50+ intelligent flood warnings, 90,000+ real-time monitored drainage users, and an 80% improvement in reservoir patrol efficiency (original: 50+ 涵洞积水智能预警；90000+ 排水户排污实时监测；80% 水库巡查效率提升).
The project created a '1+1+N' architecture in which a water brain supports multiple application models for analysis, prediction, and operations (original: 双方在白云智慧水务项目中打造“1+1+N”的架构…以一个智能化大脑支撑N种应用模型的分析、预测、运行等).
