Smart Inspection Solution for Petrochemical Industry: Building a Comprehensive Safety Network for High-Risk Operational Areas

In modern petrochemical complexes with towering refining columns and intricate pipeline networks, safety is the absolute priority. Traditional inspection and management methods face significant challenges: unclear personnel locations, delayed hazard awareness, and inefficient emergency response. These "information silos" have become hidden risks that hinder operational safety and efficiency.

Shenzhen 95Power Technology Co., Ltd., leveraging its expertise in integrated positioning and self-organizing network (SON) communication, presents the Smart Inspection Solution for the Petrochemical Industry. This solution establishes an intelligent sensing network integrating "Personnel, Equipment, and Environment," enabling visualized inspection processes, real-time risk alerts, and precise emergency command for a transformative upgrade in safety management.

Core Challenges in Petrochemical Inspection & Our Solutions

Challenge: Unclear Personnel Location in Complex Plant Areas

Traditional Scenario: GPS signals fail inside large process units, tank farms, and indoor facilities, making it impossible to track inspectors' real-time location and movement, leading to inefficient dispatch.

Our Solution: Utilizes fusion technology combining UWB (Ultra-Wideband) centimeter-level accurate positioning and PDR (Pedestrian Dead Reckoning) inertial navigation. Inspectors wear a Personal Scout Terminal that achieves ≤1 meter high-precision positioning anywhere within the facility, providing clear movement trails and eliminating "personnel disconnection."

Challenge: Inability to Monitor Environmental Hazards & Personnel Health in Real-Time

Traditional Scenario: Delayed detection of risks like combustible/toxic gas leaks or abnormal oxygen levels, with no real-time insight into inspectors' physiological status.

Our Solution: Integrates multi-gas detectors and smartwatches. The system monitors real-time concentrations of various gases (e.g., VOCs, H₂S, O₂) and simultaneously uploads inspectors' heart rate, blood oxygen, and other vital signs. Alerts are triggered immediately upon exceeding thresholds, ensuring dual protection for both environmental safety and personnel health.

Challenge: Difficulties in Emergency Response & Rescue During Incidents

Traditional Scenario: In an emergency, personnel cannot quickly and precisely call for help; rescuers struggle to locate individuals in complex environments, missing critical rescue time.

Our Solution: Scout terminals and smartwatches feature a one-touch SOS alarm. During an incident, the alarm and precise location are instantly transmitted. The command center can quickly pinpoint the location on a digital map and direct rescue efforts using the system's optimized rescue path planning, significantly improving emergency response efficiency.

Challenge: Difficult Deployment & Blind Spots of Fixed Communication Networks

Traditional Scenario: Certain plant areas are unsuitable or impossible for cabling, causing communication dropouts and data transmission failure.

Our Solution: Based on wireless self-organizing network (SON) technology, devices can autonomously form a local network, operating independently of fiber optics and public networks. Data hops between terminals, beacons, and vehicle-mounted base stations, providing seamless coverage in challenging areas like large plants or underground pipelines and ensuring uninterrupted data flow.

Core Value: Transitioning from "Reactive" to "Proactive & Intelligent" Safety

Visualized Safety Management: Command dashboards display real-time dynamics of all inspectors, their locations, task progress, and environmental safety status, enabling transparent "single-map" management.

Proactive Risk Warning: By monitoring real-time environmental and physiological data, the system proactively identifies potential hazards and triggers alerts before incidents occur, shifting the focus from reactive response to proactive prevention.

Standardized Inspection Processes: Combined with electronic fencing and checkpoint check-in features, the system enforces standardized routes and mandatory stops, ensuring inspections are performed on time, to standard, and along defined paths, enhancing management quality.

Scientific Emergency Decision-Making: During critical events, provides commanders with accurate personnel locations, environmental data, and intelligent analysis for making the most scientific and rapid rescue decisions, safeguarding lives and assets.
