Convergent comms enable efficiency at petrochemical plant

The petrochemical sector, known for its meticulous division of labour, rigorous procedures and complex processes, demands utmost safety and protection of its production activities. Traditional wireless communication systems have struggled to keep pace, prompting the need for a comprehensive and efficient solution.

A Nanjing petrochemical plant had relied on a digital trunking two-way radio system in the past. However, the system’s communication distance limitations, scarcity of spectrum resources and absence of data transmission services had become glaring shortcomings. Compounding the issue were the high equipment maintenance costs. Recognising the need for a transformative solution, the plant turned to solution provider Inrico and adopted a DMR-LTE convergent communication solution.

The implementation of Inrico’s product enabled the petrochemical plant to achieve interconnection and unified dispatch between different systems, resulting in significant enhancements to work and maintenance efficiency. The key features of Inrico’s solution played a crucial role in this achievement.

One of the standout features is the private deployment that ensures data security and control. Inrico strategically deploys servers in accordance with the enterprise’s internal network environment, facilitating seamless intercommunication between internal and external networks. Operating over public cellular networks, the solution enables privacy and security of internal communications within the enterprise. With local hosting and storage options on either local or cloud servers, the owner maintains control over their data while minimising the risk of information leakage.

Inrico’s integrated command and dispatch platform empowers real-time order dispatch to online terminals. Leveraging the terminal’s positioning module, the command centre can conveniently visualise the location information of each terminal on a map, streamlining personnel management and dispatching. Moreover, the DMR-LTE convergent communication solutions allow for the common use of digital/analog push-to-talk devices and smartphones, resulting in unified management, improved work efficiency and reduced maintenance costs.

Full-coverage communication is a critical requirement for petrochemical enterprises. The DMR-LTE convergent communication system has been found to provide seamless communication across the entire plant area, meeting the mobile communication needs of operators and optimising production scheduling efficiency. Whether indoors or in outdoor work areas, employees can communicate effortlessly, facilitating instant collaboration and enabling a smoother and more efficient production process.

Efficient coordination between various departments is a key aspect of success in the petrochemical industry. Inrico’s wireless communication solution allows employees from different departments to communicate anytime and anywhere. Whether it’s transmitting production instructions, troubleshooting or reporting work progress, these tasks can be completed promptly and efficiently, improving cooperation and collaboration between departments.

To ensure safety supervision, Inrico’s dispatching system includes video and audio data management. Communication data is stored and encrypted, serving as a valuable resource for future problem tracing and analysis. By reviewing stored communication data, petrochemical companies can monitor employees’ calls, proactively identify potential issues and take corrective measures. Furthermore, this feature aids in maintaining the enterprise’s reputation and complying with industry regulations, ensuring the communication process remains legal and transparent.

Inrico remains committed to providing more comprehensive and advanced solutions to meet the growing needs of petrochemical companies. The company aims to establish long-term partnerships with the industry, delivering a high-quality wireless communication experience to industrial professionals.
