November 2011Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring
Environmental water quality monitoring is a pressing requirement for many organisations these days and most important is the fact that burden of proof rests with the companies themselves. Lack of proof means liability should any claim or charge be forthcoming as a result of environmental impact.
The challenge is in the measurement of environmental parameters. While in-plant monitoring is closely scrutinised, taking measurements in surrounding areas or areas where environmental risk is identified can be problematic. Automation of this function is a further requisite when current staffing and expertise levels leave no time for collection and collation of data from remote and non plant related monitoring. Security of installed equipment provides yet another challenge and access to power at remote sites another.
Omniflex applies its latest technology to these issues enabling organisations to progress in this area of monitoring by providing the communications, recording and reporting infrastructure to solve the integration of diverse measurement instrumentation. Whilst Omniflex has a vendor independent metering instrument philosophy it has sought partners in order to provide turnkey solutions that best fit to industry needs.
Vandal proof and secure outstations with SHEQ reporting systems
Omniflex partners with local manufacturers to provide secure outstations with vandal proof solar powered kiosks that can be located in the bush as demanded by many water quality applications.
SHEQ (safety, health, environment and quality) boils down to how to measure, gather data and provide the results in a form that is easy to understand. Data2Desktop from Omniflex can present the data to the people anywhere in the organisation that need it in order to manage their processes.
Many organisations rely on manual systems within a SHEQ portfolio to manage conformance. However, these systems are very often ineffective and staff struggle to maintain the system. When this is automated, real measurable benefits accrue very quickly to the organisation.
Omniflex has harnessed the pervasiveness of the www and GSM networks for the presentation and dissemination of data, enabling large scale remote operations to collect and consolidate data through the use of RTUs and data access points. Dissemination of information is via e-mail or SMS to the personnel involved. The Data2Desktop Web service features:
