Passive temperature control and intelligent monitoring scheme for elevator machine room

As the domestic property industry shifts from incremental development to stock operation, the "dual carbon" policy and ESG concept are forcing the restructuring of the industry's value chain. The elevator machine room, as a "double high" pain point area for building energy consumption and safety, has long faced challenges such as high summer temperatures, huge air conditioning energy consumption, and rapid equipment aging. Recently, Zhileng has partnered with the Hong Kong Artificial Intelligence Technology Development Research Institute (HK-AITRI) to launch a passive low-carbon temperature control and intelligent monitoring solution for elevator machine rooms, relying on the institute's industrial AI application laboratory. Through the three-dimensional empowerment of "materials+engineering+AI", it provides a quantifiable and replicable model for the green transformation of the property industry.

Material scheme · Intelligent cooling · Precise selection(SmartCool)

The dedicated refrigeration coating for the equipment room adopts passive radiation refrigeration technology, which only needs to be coated on the surface of the equipment room, without the need for power supply and refrigerant, to achieve up to 95% of sunlight reflection and mid infrared thermal radiation, suppressing heat absorption from the source and actively dissipating heat. This scheme operates with zero energy consumption, significantly reducing equipment temperature, extending lifespan, and decreasing energy costs, providing a green and safe temperature control option for equipment rooms.

AI Empowerment · Real time Monitoring of Computer Room Temperature by Intelligent Agent

Based on the material scheme, the Industrial AI Application Laboratory of the research institute has developed an intelligent agent solution for real-time monitoring of computer room temperature for this project, which can serve multiple parties such as property management and equipment manufacturers.

AI application for predictive maintenance of robot lubrication

Industrial robots are widely used in automobiles, new energy, 3C electronics, and metal processing, but the working conditions vary greatly, directly affecting the lubrication of each axis position; Poor lubrication can exacerbate wear, energy consumption, and downtime maintenance costs. Traditional periodic oil changes based on time are difficult to match with differences in scenarios and axis positions, and require differentiated maintenance based on scenarios, axis positions, and oil conditions. HKAITRI collaborates with Ruiyan to explore the application of AI in the subdivision of operation and maintenance for large-scale enterprise robot lubrication and maintenance. HKAITRI focuses on industrial intelligence, oil big data, and predictive maintenance, while Ruiyan provides working condition data and on-site application support.

Platform integration: Four types of capabilities are integrated into the health management platform
The project integrates oil detection, model prediction, rule verification, re inspection reminder, and maintenance scheduling into the health management platform: oil detection provides data entry, model prediction provides risk judgment, rule verification guards business boundaries, re inspection reminder triggers confirmation actions, maintenance scheduling implementation and execution arrangements, together forming a closed loop

Based on the project cooperation of Ruiyan Robotics Technology Company, the two parties collaborate around the closed-loop of "input data feature labels model interpretation decision" based on real working condition data, and apply AI to the segmented industry chain of industrial robot lubrication and maintenance, promoting the transformation of oil detection data into interpretable maintenance decisions.
