Solution

Yunlu Technology worked with Huawei Cloud to build a structural health monitoring big data IoT platform that spans construction and operations and maintenance. Field data is ingested from fiber-optic and other sensors through collection devices, on-site hosts, Huawei IoT modules, and Huawei edge devices, with Huawei edge computing modules processing data near the source so only higher-value data is sent upstream. In the cloud, all services run on Huawei cloud services with supporting data storage services and Huawei Cloud EI for analysis, identification, simulation, and early warning. Huawei blockchain platform is used to distribute blueprints and contracts so owners, planners, designers, construction teams, and O&M teams work from consistent records. ModelArts provides machine learning, deep learning, and image recognition for structural health prediction and photo-based inspection of grouting holes, while the EI platform accelerates mechanical simulation and structural damage identification across whole structures.

Data flow

Monitoring data from fiber-optic and other sensors is collected by field devices and on-site hosts, then connected through Huawei IoT modules and Huawei edge devices. Huawei edge computing modules filter and process data locally before sending it to Huawei cloud services and storage. In the cloud, Huawei Cloud EI and ModelArts analyze environmental loads, structural response, and site images, then deliver predictions, damage identification, and early warnings to construction and O&M teams.

Solution architecture

6 components · 3 layers
  1. Ingest
    • Huawei IoT modules Connect field monitoring equipment more conveniently to the system for data collection.
    • Huawei edge devices Access data from multiple sensor types so one device can support multiple monitoring functions.
  2. Compute
    • Huawei Cloud EI Provides the core analysis, identification, simulation, and early-warning platform for structural safety use cases.
    • Huawei edge computing modules Process monitoring data near the source to reduce invalid transmission and improve response speed.
    • ModelArts Runs machine learning, deep learning, and image recognition for prediction and automated inspection tasks.
  3. Governance
    • Huawei blockchain platform Distributes blueprints and contracts so project stakeholders share consistent data and objects.

Architecture clues

  • All the services run on Huawei cloud services.
  • Damage identification was extended from a few beams or boards to whole-structure monitoring and prediction.
  • Sensor placement is intentionally limited so monitoring does not alter the original structural properties.
  • The design uses edge, device, and cloud synergy.
  • The platform is described as a structural health monitoring big data IoT platform covering the entire construction lifecycle.
  • The solution supports both construction-period monitoring and O&M-stage analysis.

Evidence from the source

"And thanks to Huawei’s edge computing module, we have cut invalid data transmission by two-thirds and increased valid data by over 50 percent."
"Now we use Huawei Cloud’s ModelArts deep learning image recognition module to identify photographs of grouting holes and determine which are filled, which are not, and which are for threading pipes."
"Typically, you can upload 100 on-site images and achieve an effective identification rate of close to 80 percent. This solution has made the inspection department over 50 percent faster and reduced construction errors by 30 percent."
"Using Huawei Cloud’s EI platform, we have made mechanical simulations 100 times faster, and are able to implement an identification solution that supports real results from data, covers the whole structure, and includes monitoring and prediction."
