Join us for this exhilarating webinar to witness how these trailblazing solutions are reshaping the future of IoT in hazard-prone industries, offering an unprecedented opportunity to leap into a new era of safety, connectivity, and operational excellence!
Hazardous industries combine the complexity of deploying an industrial-grade IoT network in a complex, often metallic and radio-unfriendly environment, with the additional constraint of hazardous zones which severely restrict the kind of equipment that may be deployed.
We will first address the winning strategies common to most industrial sites (planning for macro-diversity, careful dimensioning) and underline the importance of quality-adaptive control of RF parameters to keep the network QoS stable through ongoing scaling and frequent topology changes. We will then explain why LoRaWAN is a particularly attractive technology for sensors in hazardous environments by explaining some key points of the ATEX/IECEx certification requirements and introduce the notion of gateways certified for deployment in hazardous zones.
Deploying long-range wireless networks like LoRaWAN in hazardous industrial environments requires careful planning and specialized equipment to ensure reliable connectivity and safe operation. The abundant metal infrastructure found in process units can easily block radio signals, so simply adding one or two gateways in safe areas to cover your site will not provide comprehensive coverage for IIoT connectivity. Certified wireless enclosures from Extronics mean you can install your LoRaWAN gateway of choice directly in Zone 1/21 and Class 1/ Division 1 or Zone 2/22 and Class 2/ Division 2 areas to enable robust connectivity.Â
Specialized in providing IECEx/ATEX-certified solutions for industrial markets like the oil and gas sector, TWTG, with its market leading NEON devices, plays a pivotal role in enhancing safety and operational efficiency within facilities. The journey to secure IECEx/ATEX and country-specific certifications, validating the sensors’ safety, involves rigorous testing and certification procedures. TWTG will highlight the intricate process of attaining IECEx/ATEX certifications while sharing success stories from customers.
Abeeway’s ATEX/IECEx-certified solutions provide safe and reliable asset tracking and monitoring in hazardous environments, ensuring compliance with safety standards and mitigating potential risks. These solutions are widely used in industries like oil and gas, mining, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, where the presence of flammable gases or explosive substances necessitates the use of explosion-proof equipment. Abeeway’s ATEX/IECEx trackers and beacons offer real-time visibility into the location and status of critical assets, enabling effective asset management and emergency response.
