At the control hall, electronic screens running 24/7 precisely scan and analyze key sites’ health indicators across the province. With 100% real-time monitoring of temperature, humidity, and power supply status, no potential hazards go undetected. The "Lighthouse Control" team acts as a province-wide monitoring watchtower, assessing risks to prevent equipment from overheating, responding to emergencies instantly, and directing dispatch instructions precisely to maintenance sites and fault points.

Leveraging artificial intelligence, the team intelligently optimizes maintenance scheduling, boosting the efficiency of submitting maintenance tickets by 30%. Standardized procedures for major repairs have shortened critical operation time by nearly 40%, forming a robust "iron shield" that secures power grid communications.
