Schneider Electric has released an improved version of its EcoStruxure TriconexTM Safety View, which is the industry’s first dual safety and cybersecurity certified bypass and alarm management software application.
The EcoStruxure Triconex Safety View provides operators with a real-time visibility into the conditions of the plant, allowing users to quickly and better manage risks that may arise, helping to drive superior safety performance, to ultimately deliver better profitability and sustainability in the long term.
Industrial process safety systems are designed to help prevent unsafe operating conditions, as well as to bring the plant to a safe state, sometimes via a shutdown, when operating conditions become unsafe. Because of their critical role in helping to protect people, assets, production and the environment, safety systems are always “on.”
During everyday operations, there are instances where bypasses need to be implemented or critical alarms suppressed, which directly impacts the overall levels of operational risk and the safety of the plant. Every time this happens, the performance of protection functions is impacted, which increases cumulative risk and the likelihood of an incident, which means increased risk to the company’s people, production, and profits.
With enhanced digital capabilities, including its ability to extract and textualize real-time operating data, EcoStruxure Triconex Safety View provides a better real-time view into the risks that come with system start-ups, shutdowns and other critical process transitions.
By arming operators, maintenance engineers and plant personnel with the right data at the right time, they can quickly and efficiently bring the plant back to a safe operating state.
