Expert Insight: Improving Industrial Safety with the BLK360

工业生产是非常复杂的过程和过程的结合,必须精确协调以实现最大效率,并最小的磨损。生产机器及其零件的磨损始终是一个重要因素,这就是为什么必须定期修复或更换某些零件的原因。并非最不重要的一点是要保持计划外停止的风险和尽可能低的生产损失。因此,定期关闭工厂的一部分,以便能够安全地进行预定的检查工作。

How can a Leica Geosystems laser scanner, for example, theBLK360, help safety managers and inspection staff to support their work on a plant? By creating a digital twin (a complete 3D model) of the plant, which can be virtually inspected at any time and from any place.

The procedure of a revision in a waste incineration plant

让我们看一看一个垃圾焚化厂an example. A waste incineration plant does not only incinerate waste and residual materials but also generates energy. A complicated system of pipes and walls with cables encloses the place of incineration. The water fed into the system turns into steam and the steam can be used for heating, for example, or drives a turbine to generate electricity. During combustion, temperatures of sometimes well over 1000°C can occur. The temperatures are highest in the main fire area, which is why this area is often the most maintenance intensive.

安装团队的风险

燃烧的高温使植物的所有材料和成分都产生了极大的应变。除温度外,还会发生不同的物理和化学反应。在通常非常紧张的时间表内,必须完成各自的程序和任务,以进行成功的修订。各个工作场所的环境在这里起着特殊的作用。它们通常是封闭的空间,例如储罐或生产线本身的大部分,它们封闭了装载区域,主要火区以及由烟囱燃烧引起的排气气体的随后路径。

The inspection of such hazardous areas requires very specific tasks and procedures, which must be carried out in parallel or consecutively and are sometimes interdependent. This can be quite complicated when other parts of the plant are still running. Many plants have several production lines, which are rarely all inspected at the same time for safety reasons. All these factors influence very important topics, which are industrial and occupational safety.

工作安全

Occupational safety has an enormous influence on the work in a plant. Especially on the coordination of the consecutive revision tasks. Occupational safety comes even before the quality of the assembly or even the production schedule. The safety and health of the plant employees like e.g. maintenance teams, operators or suppliers have the highest priority.

Revision management and planning

Audits, revisions and maintenance works require exceptionally good planning. One of the major challenges is to correctly estimate the need for repairs, based on wear and tear of the machines and equipment as well as the costs and the time required for proper revision, especially concerning a possible interruption or delay in production on one or more production lines.

Whether an audit can be carried out successfully depends, among others, on these factors:

  • How quickly one can obtain a complete picture of the system
  • 收集到的数据可以多快处理和分析
  • How well the maintenance teams are prepared for dangerous or unforeseen situations
  • How promptly can the findings be exchanged with the relevant parties
  • How quickly informed decisions can be made

LeicaBLK360Imaging Laser Scanner为决策者提供最佳信息

决策者需要可靠和全面的信息。在BLK360, a highly portable imaging laser scanner from Leica Geosystems, information about the main fire & afterburn, grate, slag chute, charging and transition to the 2nd train as well as the material on the scaffolding was collected in the waste incineration plant. It is probably the most maintenance-intensive part of the plant.

The comprehensive data collection and the documentation were made within only 2 hours of work. The result was the so-called “Digital twin”, a millimetre-accurate image of the plant in 3D, which can be "walked through" virtually at any time.

Based on this information, safety managers were able to create an escape or recovery plan, which is mandatory in many power plants today. Escape plans are designed for the fastest and safest evacuation of the people working in the plant. The evacuation plans also help the rescue services to find the right way to transport injured workers and to move around the plant quickly and safely.

The details of the scaffolding construction are here an essential part of a safety concept for the revision of the plant to detect possible defects. The position of the scaffolding within the boiler construction is also important. In the so-called boiler house, there is a construction of stairways, different floors, pipes, ducts and tubes. Often there are more than 7 floors with different heights in a plant.

Decision-makers, plant staff and emergency services need to know where the water connections, compressed air and electricity are located, and the ways to get from one floor to the next section of the building in the fastest and safest way. Detailed plant plans are also important for safe navigation within a facility to know where a freight elevator is located to transport materials, where the control room is, where are the eye-rinsing facilities, where is the defibrillator and where is the emergency telephone?

为了创建计划的数字双胞胎,BLK360imaging laser scanner:

  • Measures entire plants with millimetre precision and unparalleled speed
  • Simplifies the documentation of hazardous and hard to reach areas due to its small size and high performance (the imaging laser scanner can be mounted on an extendable tripod. Cranes, lifting platforms and descenders are no longer required.)
  • Minimises the time spent in potentially dangerous operating locations
  • Maximises the safety of on-site personnel through prior virtual preparation and virtual visit of the digital twin of the plant

The knowledge gained from the comprehensive 3D documentation of the plant with theBLK360安全经理和其他决策者都可以使用:即将进行的修订和未来的维护措施。

Based on the informed decisions, a safe environment for the execution of a revision or a rescue operation is guaranteed and a 3D model of the plant can be inspected and visited "virtually" at any time and from any place, by the different parties involved in the revision process.

I did my service (mechanized infantry, parachutist in the reconnaissance battalion, boarding team in the naval security) with the German Bundeswehr for several years. In December 2005 I was discharged as planned with the end of my service and with the award of the "Medal of Honour of the German Armed Forces".

From 2005 on I focused on a civilian career. For 10 years I was employed by Mokesa AG (Basel, Switzerland) as technical project manager and the company's security officer. Between 2017 and 2018 I worked for a Dutch company as General Manager in the field of security.

From 2018 to 2019 I was employed by FARO Europe GmbH as Sales Engineer and Business Development Manager in the Public Safety division.
