Equipment tracking in hazardous areas with ATEX beacons

In refineries, chemical or pharmaceutical plants, every piece of equipment must be located and compliant. ATEX beacons work safely in explosive atmospheres and tell you where each one is.

The challenge

Finding equipment without compromising safety

Explosive atmospheresEvery device must comply with ATEX so it produces no sparks or heat.
Time lost searchingIn huge facilities, equipment moves and is lost from view.
Theft and lossHigh-value equipment in remote or poorly guarded areas.
Blind maintenanceWithout knowing how much each item is used, maintenance comes too late or too often.
The Vigilo solution

How it works

ATEX beacon on the equipment

Fixed to tools, pumps, containers or centrifuges, it transmits its ID.

→

Nearby Vigilo tracker

Plant vehicles, or a fixed tracker on site, detect the beacons within range.

→

Location in the platform

See which area each item is in, when it was detected, and get alerts if it leaves its area.
