Five companies Yuasa Trading, Denyo, Tsurumi Manufacturing, Oyo Corporation and Sunpole have collaborated to offer a one-stop packaged solution for flood control against typhoons and heavy rains. This system protects lives, facilities, and equipment from flooding.
System Overview
Using cameras and water level sensors installed on poles, the system remotely monitors river conditions and automatically drains water during rising water levels. In the event of a sudden heavy rain or typhoon, the water level sensor detects the increase in water levels and sends an email notification to the administrator. The administrator can remotely operate the drainage pump using a dedicated app, enabling automatic drainage.
