Consider “Worst Case” Will your critical communications deliver?
Above all, reliable, robust site-
During and incident additional loading can saturate your radio and telecom's communications. On larger sites at least 3 dedicated site wide communication channels or talk groups are recommended.

Reliance on external communication networks, particularly during extreme weather
events or terrorist threat may result in a complete collapse. Cell-
As industries strive to automate, less people will be available to assist during an incident, therefore automating aspects of an incidents management makes sense.
Hazardous operations require preparation of a number of typical emergency scenarios:
fire, gas leak, weather event, terrorist threat. Fire, gas and process alarm management
systems can trigger pre-

Fire & Gas Alarm Detection & Event Notification
Utilising the data from modern fire and gas detection systems can prove invaluable when considering the efficient and safe operation of your facility. BlueBox packages sensor and alarm specific information and transmits it to key personnel, or displays vital safety information on large public displays. BlueBox can automated critical tasks associated with the type of incident: community alert, start a fire pump, manage traffic around your facility. Taking a huge workload off responders and production staff.
False alarms, plant failures, delayed response to incidents, and increased risk to workers all have an impact on your facilities safety, efficiency and bottom line.
- Faster response to alarm activations
- Better informed and more focused response
- Lower risk of false evacuations
- Lower risk of production stoppages
- Benefit from incident response and task automation
- More efficient use of emergency teams
Process Efficiency & Worker Task Automation
As today's industry strive to automate, less people are managing more, current practices can result in long durations of little activity interspersed with short periods high workload. By linking operators actions directly with batch execution, tasks can be managed in a timely more productive manor leading to a leaner more efficient, more active and and less bored workforce.
Smart planning in the design of the automation process can include step by step task management. BlueBox provides the interface between process information and a mobile workforce, delivering timely task to operators monitoring their response and managing worker safety and providing information on plant alarms, safety issues, batch progression and efficiency updates.
Sigtec has recently partnered with process information experts TQS to design a solution based on OCIsofts PI™ process information application to manage worker and production efficiency.
We regularly get requests to link legacy communications technology with modern process or alarm detection systems, possibly when others have failed in the past. Our expertise lies across, radio and electronic design particularly in protocol and data manipulation, and recently task automation. This expertise is backed by over 30 years experience working with some of the worlds largest emergency services. If you have a particular problem that needs solving, or are looking how to improve efficiency, cut costs or improve the safety of your employees or colleagues please do not hesitate to call.
