As a key corridor connecting Xiamen and Kinmen, the Xiamen–Kinmen Bridge is a landmark infrastructure project for cross-strait integrated development, with both practical and long-term significance.

On the one hand, the bridge will break the long-standing transportation barriers between the two areas restricted by sea conditions and weather, building a Xiamen–Kinmen half-hour living circle. It will make daily travel more convenient and efficient for compatriots on both sides of the Strait, further narrowing the emotional and physical distance.

On the other hand, as an important practice of national support for cross-strait integrated development, the completion of the bridge will promote Kinmen’s deep integration into the regional development layout. Through infrastructure connectivity, it will drive coordinated cooperation in economy and trade, culture and tourism, industry and other fields across the Strait, laying a solid foundation for the peaceful development of cross-strait relations.

In response to the special construction environment and high hoisting precision requirements of the Xiamen–Kinmen Bridge, Weite has developed a customized full‑dimensional intelligent safety monitoring solution. Integrating high‑precision sensors and intelligent control algorithms, the system boasts multiple core advantages:In terms of intelligent perception, the system monitors key parameters in real time, including lifting load, moment, wind speed, slewing angle and body inclination. Once overloading, over-range or abnormal inclination is detected, multi‑level alarms are triggered immediately, providing operators with valuable response time.

In terms of environmental adaptability, to withstand harsh offshore conditions such as high humidity, strong corrosion and wind-wave interference, Weite products adopt an industrial‑grade protection design, ensuring stable 24/7 operation in complex environments.

In terms of data empowerment, the system automatically records operating data throughout the entire working cycle, providing a scientific basis for equipment maintenance, accident traceability and construction optimization. It helps the project achieve the transformation from “manual prevention” to “technical prevention”.

From the Three Gorges Project to cross-sea bridges, WEITE has been deeply engaged in the lifting safety management sector for more than 20 years, always with the mission of “Making lifting operations safer and more efficient”.

This cooperation demonstrates our responsibility to empower major projects with technology and serve national strategies. In the future, WEITE will continue to provide stable and reliable solutions to safeguard the construction of more key projects.
