Industrial Monitoring and Control Applications
Enhancing the safety, efficiency and security of production and process control infrastructure is a growing requirement for many organizations with infrastructure located in remote parts of the world. A common problem facing these organizations is the difficulty in establishing cost effective methods of monitoring and controlling their remote assets.
Fastwave has the engineering, telemetry and systems integration expertise to offer both off-the-shelf and custom remote monitoring and control solutions for SCADA systems and Machine-to-Machine (m2m) networks.
The FastComm Remote Telemetry Unit (RTU) enables the integration of the Iridium satellite telemetry system with a wide variety of proprietary data loggers, sensors and process control equipment, and offer on-line data access to enable an end-to-end solution.
We specialise in applications where there are power constraints by programming the remote telemetry units to operate with minimum power consumption.
Typical remote monitoring and control, SCADA and m2m applications include:
Oil & Gas
- Cathodic protection (CP) systems on pipelines and offshore infrastructure
- Automated offshore equipment process control systems, either as primary or redundant system
- Chemical injection skids on oil pipelines
- Electronic submersible pumps (ESP's)
Utilities and Infrastructure
- Remote pumps and valves
- Cathodic protection systems on bridges, jetties, water pipelines etc
- Remote road warning signs
- Sewage system valve monitoring
Mining
- Geotechnical instrument monitoring for open pit mining operations
- Process control systems
- Conveyor belt vibration monitoring
- Mobile power generators
- De-watering pumps
- Tailings dams warning systems
