Boundary pillars are important symbols of the junction, and at present, the most common way of managing boundary pillars in China is to employ a full-time boundary pillar maintainer in order to maintain the pillars themselves better. Damage to or loss of reference materials such as the "borders" can cause considerable problems in resolving boundary disputes and controversies. In recent years, the Geographical Information System (GIS) has been in a stage of rapid development, both theoretically and in terms of application. With the advancement of network information technology and the increasing maturity of GIS technology, WebGIS combining the two has gradually been widely used in various industries, while the Internet of Things (IoT) is also developing rapidly, on which a more complete set of intelligent electronic boundary pillars based on IoT technology has the theoretical basis to emerge.

With the rapid development of society, the continuous expansion of cities an d the speeding up of urbanisation, the rapid growth and destruction of all kinds of boun dary pillars is a common occurrence. Up to now, there has been little product develop ment and application of intelligent electronic boundary pillars in China, and the cost of managing open boundary areas is high because many special boundary pillars are loca ted in harsh external environments that are difficult to inspect manually, thus leading t o untimely discovery of problems and even greater losses. Therefore, a digital boundar y pillar equipped with suitable software products and high-quality hardware that can a dapt to a variety of environments has become a major need in the current boundary pill ar market.

As an important tool of scope management, boundary pile is also an important basis for judging boundary violations and an important means for the supervision of industry authorities. However, the external environment where many boundaries are located is so bad that it is difficult to measure the manpower and material resources wasted in manual inspection and maintenance management every year. In view of this situation, a new type of boundary pile is designed in this paper, which can accurately locate the specific location of the problem by collecting GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) positioning information, and can also collect the surrounding state by carrying sensors, so as to save a lot of manpower and material resources for inspection.
