2025-10-31 11:38:02

In the process of continuous evolution of hydrological monitoring technology, Fujian Aotai Automation has optimized and upgraded the ADCP acoustic Doppler profile Analyzer with small beam stroke based on a keen insight into industry pain points and a large amount of practical application feedback. This upgrade, especially the adjustment of the emission angle of the transducer, has made significant breakthroughs in widening the measurable river width and improving the overall performance of the equipment, injecting new vitality into the development of the hydrological monitoring industry.

1、 Innovate the launch angle and significantly expand the measurement span

Compared to the previous generation product, the core highlight of this upgrade is the innovative adjustment of the transducer emission angle. Previously, due to the limitation of the transducer emission angle, the previous generation ADCP had difficulty meeting the measurement coverage requirements when facing wider river channels, resulting in missing or inaccurate data in some areas. After repeated testing and optimization, the R&D team has laid out the emission angle of the transducer. The new generation ADCP significantly expands the measurement coverage range by adjusting the emission angle while maintaining the same sound line, resulting in a significant increase in measurable river width. Nowadays, whether it is winding small and medium-sized rivers or wide large water systems, the new generation ADCP can accurately and systematically obtain hydrological data, improving the adaptability of equipment in complex water environments.

2、 Empowering 256 layers of profiles to create accurate measurements

The new generation ADCP has a 256 layer profile data acquisition function, which improves the accuracy and efficiency of measurements. In the past, monitoring equipment had few layers in the profile, making it difficult to accurately capture changes in flow velocity at different depths of the water, resulting in measurement results that were biased. And with 256 layers of fine layering, it can perform multi-level scanning of water bodies, fully obtain flow velocity information at various depths of water bodies, and more accurately calculate flow rates. Whether in complex shallow waters or deep rivers, it can ensure high-quality measurement data.

3、 Optimize internal structure and build a stable foundation

To overcome this challenge, R&D personnel have implemented fine tuning of the internal structure of the mold, optimizing the installation and fixing methods of sensors. Compared with the previous generation of products, this measure effectively avoids structural interference between sensors, ensures stable collaboration among sensors during equipment operation, not only reduces equipment failure rates, but also ensures the accuracy and continuity of data collection, laying a solid foundation for stable equipment operation.

4、 Integrating new sensors to improve monitoring accuracy

The new generation ADCP is equipped with a brand new attitude sensor. In complex water environments, factors such as water flow impact and equipment shaking can seriously affect measurement accuracy. The attitude sensor can monitor the tilt, sway and other states of the equipment in real time, and automatically correct the measurement data with the help of advanced algorithms. When ADCP works in turbulent rivers, the attitude sensor can quickly capture changes in device attitude, compensate for measurement data, and significantly improve the measurement accuracy of the equipment in complex water conditions.

5、 Focusing on industry needs and empowering data decision-making

In the field of river measurement, the advantages of the new generation ADCP are particularly prominent. It can provide real-time river flow data for hydrological departments, water resources departments, urban drainage and coordination departments, flood control departments, emergency departments and other relevant units. The hydrological department can carry out dynamic monitoring and analysis of water resources based on these data, providing scientific basis for the rational allocation of water resources; The Ministry of Water Resources uses flow data to evaluate the operational effectiveness of water conservancy projects and optimize project management; The urban drainage and coordination department adjusts the urban drainage system in a timely manner based on data to enhance the city's ability to cope with waterlogging; The flood prevention and emergency departments rely on real-time data to predict the risk of flood disasters in advance, formulate effective emergency rescue plans, and ensure the safety of people's lives and property.

6、 Establishing industry benchmarks and leading future development
