Project Context
A 32 km long critical pipeline faced security challenges due to the limitations of the existing Fiber Optic Distributed Acoustic Sensing
(DAS) system. This outdated system generated a high number of false alarms (1,000–2,000 per day), leading to alarm fatigue and
potential security breaches. Additionally, the device had been out of service for a long time and was no longer operational. Users
encountered several support difficulties due to the system’s issues:
- Communication challenges with foreign companies led to language barriers and miscommunication, preventing effective
support. - High costs made international support services economically unfeasible.
- Frequent system failures resulted in high repair costs, putting users in a difficult position.
- With the closure of the original manufacturers, technical support was no longer available.
