en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 17, the Electricity Metering Institute of the Southern Power Grid Science Research Institute Co., Ltd. (CSG Research Institute) completed the verification of a prototype for its independently developed industrial-grade AI glasses for electric meter installation and removal operations, marking the advancement of on-site power marketing operations into the "first-person perspective" intelligent era.
Currently, mainstream AI glasses on the market are mostly designed for ordinary outdoor environments, exhibiting significant shortcomings in power operation scenarios: heavy reliance on network signals, susceptibility to blurring during close-range shooting, poor imaging quality in low-light conditions, and failure to meet industrial operation standards in terms of protective performance, making them difficult to adapt to the strict specifications of frontline power operations.
To address these issues, the Electricity Metering Institute of CSG Research Institute, leveraging its expertise in power business and combining artificial intelligence technology, has developed industrial-grade equipment specifically for power marketing scenarios. This product is not a simple modification of consumer-grade AI glasses but a customized device that deeply integrates edge intelligence with industrial operations and safety protection.
To solve the problem of "blurry and incomplete capture" common in general equipment, the R&D team overcame challenges in close-up and macro optical adaptation, employing short-focal-length optical correction technology combined with image enhancement algorithms. Whether in dimly lit underground substations or brightly lit outdoor transformer areas, the device can output clear images and accurately identify meter readings.
In terms of operational intelligence, the product is equipped with a lightweight edge AI model, enabling millisecond-level meter code recognition on the edge side even without network connectivity. Images captured during operations are automatically overlaid with triple digital watermarks—time, geographic location, and device ID—ensuring full traceability and supervision throughout the process. The product can also directly connect to meters to read operational data and event records, diagnose equipment anomalies in real time using AI algorithms, and provide voice alerts simultaneously, achieving an "install and inspect, operate and accept" effect. The "first-person perspective" full-process recording also provides intuitive evidence for on-site safety control and operational supervision.
In terms of industrial protective design, the product strictly adheres to national technical standards for industrial protective equipment, featuring a large protective area and strong impact resistance. It can be directly used as compliant protective glasses, solving the previous problem where smart devices required an additional layer of protective goggles due to insufficient protection, thereby reducing the burden on operators and achieving a "safety protection and intelligent operation" two-in-one solution.
The Electricity Metering Institute of CSG Research Institute stated that it will continue to deepen its efforts in the digitalization of power marketing operations, addressing frontline practical needs through independent innovation, and providing technical solutions for the construction of a new-type power system and a new-type energy system.
