Ensonic Technology is laying out carbon neutrality, empowering the 'heavy carbon' industrial transformation with acoustic technology.

With the proposal of the '3060' target, a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is thriving against the backdrop of carbon neutrality, and technology companies will undoubtedly become important participants in carbon neutrality.

Promote the national strategy of 'carbon neutrality' and be a pioneer in low-carbon technology.

During the two sessions in 2021, the National Energy Administration proposed to set more proactive new energy development goals and accelerate the promotion of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality; at the same time, according to the '14th Five-Year Plan Outline', during the '14th Five-Year' period, China's new energy industry will implement multiple industrial constructions, involving hydropower, wind power, nuclear power, power grid construction, new energy transportation, clean energy materials, and many other fields. The '14th Five-Year' period is a critical period for achieving carbon peaking, and not only should a low-carbon technology development strategy be formulated at the national level, but technology companies should also take the lead in completing their own energy-saving and emission-reduction tasks, relying on their own technological research and development capabilities to empower other industries to achieve long-term low-carbon and zero-carbon development.

As an enterprise-level intelligent acoustic technology company deeply engaged in the 'high carbon' market, Ensonic Technology currently has clients mainly concentrated in the fields of power grid, new energy, rail transit, and industrial manufacturing. The precise industry focus determines that Dishi is no longer a bystander and service provider in the national carbon neutrality development plan.

As a high-tech enterprise that early on possessed core technologies for complex sound field signal processing and analysis with multi-microphone arrays, Ensonic currently adopts a service model that mainly utilizes its own acoustic core algorithms and platform-level data processing technology, combined with a vast array of industry sound fingerprint modules, to provide precise, predictive, and real-time acoustic fault diagnosis and predictive maintenance services for various high-precision industrial application facilities and equipment. The main application scenarios include fault monitoring, equipment diagnosis, technical consulting, and services. Based on the principles of acoustic detection technology, two monitoring products independently developed for the rail transit and power industries: the sound imager and industrial stethoscope, have become key development products widely applied in multiple scenarios.

How can intelligent acoustic monitoring methods assist in 'carbon neutrality'?

Taking the rail transit industry as an example, data shows that carbon emissions from the transportation sector account for 16% of global carbon emissions, and rail transit has long been a difficult point for energy conservation and emission reduction. After clarifying the industry's pain points, Ensonic Technology's independently developed 'Running Part Abnormal Sound Monitoring System' has shown increasingly obvious product advantages after countless scenario signal simulations and case analyses.

For example, abnormal sounds often accompany polygonal wheelsets and bearing failures, posing a significant threat to driving safety. However, due to the complex noise conditions of high-speed train operations, manual identification often leads to misjudgment or missed judgment. By combining algorithms such as 'acoustic signal analysis principles and feature extraction, mechanical fault characteristic frequency calculation', the fault characteristics in the acoustic data can be identified and tracked, greatly achieving accurate fault discrimination, significantly reducing the labor costs and cycles of maintenance personnel, and avoiding damage during disassembly and resource waste caused by batch replacements.

In addition, Ensonic technology such as 'far-field pickup', sound fingerprint recognition, and array fusion have greatly achieved multi-dimensional visualization analysis of hundreds of thousands of brake pad and carbon sliding plate data in the rail transit field through scenario-based application mathematical analysis models. The terminal software backend monitors in real-time, flexibly displaying wear rates, uneven wear amounts, and replacement estimates, further optimizing and consolidating brake pad package operations. It is estimated that for just the 3A, 380A, and 380D models in one year, brake pad cost savings of over 5 million yuan have been achieved, preventing carbon emissions caused by mechanical energy conservation and reduction from reaching nearly a thousand tons.

Seize the '14th Five-Year' window period and empower the transformation of 'high carbon' industrial scenarios with sound technology.

In terms of national conditions, most of China's carbon emissions come from traditional industrial sectors. Power, energy, and rail transit have always been active groups in the 'high carbon' field, which are currently the main client markets for Ensonic Technology. The precise industry focus has accelerated Ensonictech pace in laying out the 'carbon neutrality' strategy.

In the future, Ensonic Technology will focus on its own R&D materials, data storage, and other aspects as a participant in energy conservation and emission reduction. More importantly, it will strengthen research and innovation in sound science, using carbon neutrality as an opportunity to empower the transformation of 'high carbon' industrial scenarios with sound technology, assisting B-end industry clients to maximize energy-saving and emission-reduction effectiveness, exploring low-carbon and zero-carbon opportunities, continuously refining Ensonic own R&D technology, and integrating with more leading industrial internet players to promote the development of China's digital industrial economy towards low-carbon, green, and circular directions.
