Fortifying Industrial Emergency Defenses! XUNMEISD Builds a Homemade Emergency Communication Scheduling Solution for Baotou Iron and Steel

As a pillar industry of the national economy, the iron and steel industry features production processes covering multiple high-risk links such as mining, sintering, smelting and rolling. Complex working conditions including high temperature, high pressure and dust impose extreme requirements on the stability, emergency response speed and security controllability of communication systems. As one of China’s important iron and steel industrial bases, a Baotou iron and steel company has multiple affiliated production plants with a wide coverage, a variety of equipment and high personnel mobility. Its traditional communication system suffers from problems such as delayed scheduling response, insufficient compatibility and over-reliance on imported core technologies, making it difficult to meet the demand for rapid collaborative scheduling in the event of sudden accidents (e.g., equipment failures, fires, and personnel distress). Relying on its profound technical accumulation in the field of industrial emergency communication and innovative practices in homemade technology, Beijing XUNMEISD Information Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “XUNMEISD”) has tailor-made a full-scenario emergency communication scheduling solution for the Baotou iron and steel company. With the three-fold advantages of “homemade core + compatible adaptation + efficient scheduling”, the solution safeguards the safety of iron and steel production.

The core pain points of the Baotou iron and steel company in emergency communication are reflected in three aspects:

Scheduling efficiency: The traditional communication system adopts a decentralized architecture, requiring multiple transfers for communication between workshops, plants and the command center. In the event of a sudden accident, the transmission time of scheduling instructions is as long as 5-8 minutes, which is likely to delay the emergency disposal opportunity.

Compatibility: The original communication equipment covers multiple brands and cannot achieve seamless collaboration with existing hardware such as Huawei IAD gateways, resulting in barriers to data interconnection and affecting cross-departmental and cross-regional scheduling linkage.

Security and controllability: The core scheduling equipment relies on imported components and lacks comprehensive call traceability and visual scheduling capabilities. This not only brings potential security risks such as supply chain interruptions and technical backdoors, but also fails to meet the needs of accident review, responsibility traceability and on-site visual command, which is inconsistent with the development requirements of “independent controllability and safety reliability” in the industrial field.

In response to the above pain points and combined with the core requirements of “speed, accuracy, stability and traceability” for emergency scheduling in the iron and steel industry, XUNMEISD finally determined an integrated solution featuring homemade equipment as the core, compatibility with existing hardware, and enhanced functions of call recording traceability and video linkage command. The solution not only ensures the independent controllability of core technologies and maximizes the reuse of the customer’s existing assets, but also fills the technical gaps of “invisibility and untraceability” in traditional scheduling systems.

With the principles of “independent controllability as the foundation, compatible adaptation as the extension and technological innovation as the core”, the solution forms a full-level emergency communication network covering the “command center – plant – workshop – terminal”. Its core configuration and technical highlights are as follows:

Homemade scheduling server: Equipped with homemade chips and operating systems, it supports the access of more than 1,000 terminals and has core functions such as second-level group calling, emergency broadcasting and intelligent call recording.

Homemade intelligent scheduling console: Equipped with a 23-inch touch display screen, it supports a visual graphic scheduling interface and can display the online status of all terminals, call conditions and plant topology in real time. Dispatchers can initiate scheduling instructions such as global broadcasting, group call conferences and emergency calls with one-click operation, supporting flexible communication modes of “one-to-many” and “many-to-many”.

Multi-dimensional video linkage function: The scheduling console can seamlessly connect to the existing on-site monitoring cameras of the Baotou iron and steel company (covering key areas such as blast furnaces, rolling mills, warehouses and plant passages), realizing the trinity linkage of “voice scheduling – video images – alarm information”. When a fire alarm or equipment failure alarm is triggered in a certain area, the system will automatically push the real-time monitoring images of the area and its surrounding 30-meter range to the scheduling console, and simultaneously initiate a call to the IP phone of the person in charge of the area. Dispatchers can “issue instructions” while “viewing images”, avoiding scheduling errors caused by information asymmetry.

Compatibility with Huawei IAD gateways: The solution achieves seamless docking with the existing Huawei IAD gateways of the Baotou iron and steel company, integrating the traditional telephone terminals connected by the Huawei IAD gateways into the emergency scheduling platform through the network. It also realizes the synchronous storage of call recordings of traditional telephone terminals and the linked broadcast of the plant broadcasting system and video images (e.g., in the event of a fire emergency, the broadcasting system plays evacuation instructions while the monitoring images of relevant areas are pushed to the scheduling console synchronously). This not only avoids repeated equipment investment but also ensures the smooth transition of the communication system.

As a high-tech enterprise focusing on the field of IP communication, XUNMEISD has always taken “independent innovation, security and controllability” as its core development philosophy, and has successively provided homemade communication solutions for customers in government, medical, education and other industries in more than 20 provinces and cities across the country. In the future, XUNMEISD will continue to deepen technological R&D, launch intelligent communication products more suitable for government scenarios, help more regions realize the homemade upgrade of government communication, and inject “XUNMEISD strength” into the construction of Digital China.
