In complex, hazardous environments, plant operators need assurance that all plant personnel are equipped to handle routine and emergency situations--no matter where they are. Wireless applications can provide the information and communication devices that workers need for safe and efficient plant operations.
Improve Industrial Worker Safety and Productivity
With faster access to information and real-time communications, wireless can enhance productivity, regulatory compliance, safety, and security. Some of the many ways wireless can enable a mobile workforce include:
- Plant Safety: Wireless devices make it easier to locate people in danger and communicate evacuation and safety instructions. Wireless monitors can also detect vapors, fire, activation of safety showers, and other events, allowing personnel to prevent and respond more rapidly to incidents.
- Plant Security: Wireless security devices can reduce the need for employing security guards in hazardous environments, and reduce the costs of trenching and wiring video surveillance, intrusion sensors, and access controls in dangerous or remote locations.
- Temporary Response Team Deployments: During major plant maintenance, upgrades, and emergencies, wireless networks can avoid the costly and time-consuming tasks of setting up hubs, routers, and cabling. Temporary personnel can work at full capacity by connecting to any number of wireless access points throughout the plant.
- Data Collection: Engineers are unlikely to carry even a lightweight laptop up a ladder. Hand-held computers are easier to carry than a clipboard, and more accurate, too. Faster readings and less paperwork mean fewer errors and higher worker productivity.
- Inspections, Audits, and Regulatory Reporting: Surveys, forms, and checklists can be completed quickly and accurately using industrial-grade wireless devices. Specialized software can automatically submit OSHA and other reports, reducing time, money - and costly mistakes.
- Policy and Protocol Compliance: Engineers and technicians can review diagrams, policies, and protocols while on site. If expert advice is needed, a Voice over wireless IP, instant message, or email can be sent immediately, ensuring compliance and shortening time-to-resolution.
- Expert Collaboration: With a hands-free Voice over wireless IP device, technicians and engineers can collaborate with remote team members in real-time, even while they are physically working on equipment.
