TMGA protects its silos at risk of explosion with high-precision thermal technology
In the face of latent risks such as spontaneous combustion or explosive dust, highly sensitive thermal sensors and the Thermal Validation App provide preventive protection for the critical facilities of Terminales Marítimos de Galicia (TMGA), optimizing costs and complying with the strictest industrial safety requirements.
The solution: customized technology designed for the most demanding environments
The solution implemented consisted of the installation of four MOBOTIX S74 cameras with high-sensitivity thermal sensors and EN54-certified . Their modular architecture, combined with their small size, makes them a versatile and highly effective tool for industrial environments with demanding installation conditions. In this case, the cameras were integrated into housings certified for ATEX risk environments, a key aspect given the possible presence of explosive atmospheres.
Development and Installation Challenges
From the outset, the system design required rigorous technical analysis. It was essential to accurately calculate the size of the hot spot to be detected and to define the viewing angle and exact location of each lens to ensure effective coverage with as few devices as possible. This preliminary planning phase allowed for an optimized and efficient installation, meeting the customer’s requirements in terms of both coverage and operating costs.
Why MOBOTIX?
The decision to go with MOBOTIX was based on the proven performance of its thermal cameras: long-distance coverage, accurate temperature measurement and reduced operating costs by decreasing the number of devices required. Thanks to this solution, Terminales Marítimos de Galicia has proactively reinforced the security of its facilities, effectively minimizing risks while investing in technology designed to meet both current demands and future challenges.
Working with MOBOTIX has enabled us to offer the customer a robust solution tailored to the complex industrial environment in which TMGA operates. The accuracy of the thermal image and the embedded analysis capability have been key to ensuring a system that acts before a real emergency occurs.
