Minimizing risks for installation teams

Expert Insight: Improving Industrial Safety with the BLK360

Industrial production is a combination of very complex processes and procedures, which must be precisely coordinated to achieve maximum efficiency with minimum wear and tear. The abrasion of production machines and their parts is always a significant factor, which is why certain parts must be repaired or replaced regularly. Not least also to keep the risk of an unplanned stop and loss of production as low as possible. Therefore, parts of a plant are shut down at regular intervals to be able to carry out scheduled inspection work safely.

例如,Leica Geosystems激光扫描仪如何BLK360, 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.

废物焚化工厂修订的程序

让我们以一个垃圾焚烧植物为例。废物焚化厂不仅会焚化废物和残留物质,而且会产生能量。带有电缆的管道和墙壁的复杂系统包含焚化位置。馈入系统的水变成蒸汽,例如,蒸汽可用于加热,或者驱动涡轮机发电。在燃烧过程中,有时会发生超过1000°C的温度。温度在主要火灾区域最高,这就是为什么该区域通常是维护最多的原因。

The risks for the installation teams

The high temperature of the combustion puts an extraordinary strain on all materials and components of the plant. In addition to the temperature, also different physical and chemical reactions take place. Respective procedures and tasks must be completed for a successful revision within a usually very tight schedule. The environment of the individual workplaces plays a special role here. They are often closed spaces, such as e.g. tanks or large sections of the production line itself, which enclose the loading area, the main fire area and the subsequent path of the exhaust gases caused by the combustion up to the chimney.

对此类危险区域的检查需要非常具体的任务和程序,必须并行或连续进行,有时是相互依存的。当植物的其他部分仍在运行时,这可能非常复杂。许多植物有多个生产线,出于安全原因,很少会同时检查所有生产线。所有这些因素都会影响非常重要的主题,即工业和职业安全。

Safety at work

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
  • How quickly the collected data can be processed and analysed
  • 维护团队为危险或不可预见的情况做好了准备
  • 如何迅速与相关方交换这些发现
  • 可以做出多快的决定

LeicaBLK360 Imaging Laser Scannerprovides the best information for decision-makers

Decision-makers need reliable and comprehensive information. With the help of theBLK360, 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.

全面的数据收集和文档仅在工作的2小时内进行。结果是所谓的“数字双胞胎”,这是该工厂在3D中的毫米精确图像,几乎可以随时“浏览”。

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.

脚手架结构的细节是修订工厂以检测可能缺陷的安全概念的重要组成部分。锅炉结构中脚手架的位置也很重要。在所谓的锅炉房中,有楼梯,不同地板,管道,管道和管子的结构。通常,有7层以上的楼层,其高度不同。

决策者,工厂工作人员和紧急服务需要知道以最快,最安全的方式从一楼到达建筑物的下一部分的水连接,压缩空气和电力的位置。详细的工厂计划对于设施中的安全导航也很重要,以了解运输电梯可以在哪里运输材料,控制室在哪里,倾眼设施在哪里,除颤器在哪里,紧急电话在哪里?

For the creation of the digital twin of a plan, theBLK360成像激光扫描仪:

  • 用毫米精度和无与伦比的速度测量整个植物
  • 简化了由于其尺寸较小和高性能的危险和难以到达区域的文档(成像激光扫描仪可以安装在可扩展的三脚架上。不再需要起重机,起重平台和后代。)
  • 最大程度地减少在潜在危险的运营地点所花费的时间
  • 通过事先虚拟准备和植物的数字双胞胎的虚拟访问来最大化现场人员的安全

The knowledge gained from the comprehensive 3D documentation of the plant with theBLK360can be used by the safety managers and other decision-makers both: for the upcoming revision and future maintenance measures.

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.
