Enhancing Safety with Real-Time Temperature Monitoring

THE CHALLENGE

With no previous monitoring solution in place, the plant required immediate implementation of a system that could integrate with its existing infrastructure while providing reliable and frequent data collection.

OUR SOLUTION

SiteSync, already operational at the facility for other applications, proved to be the ideal platform for rapid sensor deployment. The team implemented Yokogawa Sushi vibration/surface temperature sensors, which integrated seamlessly with the existing SiteSync infrastructure. This allowed for quick installation and enabled the plant to collect hourly temperature data, ensuring continuous monitoring during the freeze event. The implementation of SiteSync led to significant advantages, including real-time monitoring that provided crucial data to prevent potential hazards. The existing infrastructure facilitated rapid deployment without disrupting operations, and the solution demonstrated scalability, allowing the plant to add various device types in the future. The chemical plant chose SiteSync due to its proven track record and the positive experience with existing LoRaWAN pressure sensors. SiteSync's reputation for handling urgent situations instilled confidence, and its ability to seamlessly integrate new devices into the current infrastructure was a key factor in the decision.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

This successful implementation has paved the way for further expansion, as the plant can now easily incorporate additional sensor types and monitoring capabilities using SiteSync. By leveraging this flexibility and scalability, the chemical plant has not only addressed an immediate concern but also positioned itself for ongoing improvements in monitoring and safety across its operations.
