Measuring control room: guarantor for safety in industrial processes
Control rooms for chemical and process industries are the central element for live monitoring and smart control of critical processes in modern industrial companies. Efficiency and reliability are top priorities. Key criteria include real-time plant monitoring and compliance with the highest safety standards. Regulatory requirements for the control of systems, machines and processes must be consistently adhered to in order to ensure operational safety in the long term. JST has been successfully planning and implementing integrated complete solutions for control rooms in the industrial sector for decades.
Innovative technologies increase operational safety
Increasing process automation has been confronting control rooms in the chemical, raw materials and process industries with a constant stream of new challenges for years. Many systems work with flammable, toxic or explosive substances. Leaks, overpressure or excessive temperatures can lead to serious accidents. Modern technologies with intuitive human-machine interfaces make monitoring and control easier. However, the integration of existing infrastructures and legacy systems into innovative solutions may prove to be an obstacle.
To avoid misjudgements, experts recommend a standardised user interface. Ideal partner in the measuring control room: the myGUI® platform in combination with the KVM systems JST MultiStreaming® or MultiConsoling®. In addition, video wall technology and ergonomic furniture provide further optimisation.
The operator has access to all sources in the control room with just one mouse/keyboard unit. All processes in the industrial control center are clearly displayed and monitored on a proactively operable video wall. In the background, alarm software detects undesirable deviations. Delayed reactions are a thing of the past. Faults within the processes are recognised and eliminated more quickly.
The convincing before-and-after comparison shows: The control room of STORAG ETZEL Service GmbH is now technically and visually “state of the art”. The control room manages the injection and extraction of natural gas and crude oil at the Etzel cavern facility in East Frisia. Seamless monitoring, early fault detection and efficient process control are among the most important tasks on site.
Control over critical processes – every argument a real “ace up the sleeve”
Secure, fast handling – just one mouse & keyboard for all sources
Efficient, confident access – with a standardised user interface
Automated processes – reducing manual intervention speeds up workflows
Visualisation of critical operating data – on modern video walls
Early fault detection – based on proactive alarm software
The control room for power plants stands for the highest safety standards. There is no compromise on quality and safety in the process industry either. AI-supported analyses and automation can provide valuable solutions to meet these requirements. Condition: A clear user interface summarises new technologies and older control systems in such a way that they can be accessed quickly.
The intuitive myGUI® from JST already fulfils this task with excellence in hundreds of control centers! The platform interface reflects the operator’s workplace as a customised 3D graphic. Simply select a source and place the pre-defined icon on the desired screen using drag & drop. Access in a matter of seconds significantly reduces the reaction times.
Standstill does not exist in the process industry. Sensor technology and analysis functions are becoming more and more precise. Compliance with legal requirements must be fully documented. The importance of energy management is growing. The increasing amount of data requires ever new, smart products to cope with the flood of information. Control and operating systems in the measuring control room must make all this manageable for the operator team.
With the KVM solutions JST MultiStreaming® and MultiConsoling®, reliable and high-performance technologies are available; once hardware-based, once as an IP streaming variant. Both options provide secure and fast access to all control center sources with just one mouse/keyboard unit.
The starting signal for the new warehouse operations center is given in the control room simulator 2.0, the unique ‘room of the future’. This is where experts from the logistics sector come together to discover JST’s strategies and integrated models. Visitors test ergonomic furniture and take control of the video walls themselves. Whether in a virtual meeting or live on site: During the workshop, the project, objectives and budget are customised and defined.
This is followed by on-site discussions and web meetings during the planning phase. Photorealistic 3D images and film trailers help with the decision-making process. Climate, acoustics and lighting are also part of the JST control room team’s “all-round carefree package”.
