Ian Loudon, International Sales Manager at remote monitoring specialist Omniflex, explains how long-distance mining conveyor monitoring challenges may be combatted using bidirectional fibre-optic modules.
Remote monitoring specialist Omniflex has helped wireless data communications systems firm Scan RF to implement site-wide monitoring systems at the 17,000 hectare Kolomela iron-ore mine in South Africa.
Gary Bradshaw, Director at alarm annunciator specialist Omniflex, explores the importance of alarm annunciators in temperature monitoring applications, drawing on examples from different industrial settings.
Since the 1980s, rack-based alarm annunciator systems have been reliable workhorses in various critical industries, including chemical processing, nuclear, and oil and gas. However, because of their age, many of them do not meet modern safety requirements, and are also now beginning to suffer from component failure.
While wireless remote monitoring technology provides a convenient and cost-effective method for plant and asset managers to monitor and manage important system data across their sites, particularly over large areas, what are the key power supply considerations for wireless systems, and how do operators select the right system for the job?
To ensure that all children receive their Christmas presents on time, the logistics elves at Santa’s Workshop Inc. approached remote monitoring specialists Omniflex to monitor Santa’s journey around the globe and check the reliability of his sleigh in real-time.
In highly regulated industries where laying cables is not feasible, radio-based communication can transfer critical data from multiple locations wirelessly and effectively. When installing radio equipment and telemetry devices, such as transmitters and receivers, in an industrial facility or field-based utility applications like gas, electricity and water, frequency is an important consideration.
Traditionally, PC-based SCADA systems were the only tool in the instrumentation and control engineer’s toolbox for plant process visualisation and control applications. This led to many facilities implementing SCADA systems simply because there were no available alternatives.
