Zone 1 Tablets - Android and Windows
The requirements of modern sites has seen a huge upturn in the demand for safe and reliable technology which can be taken into operational hazardous areas for the purpose of inspection or modification.
Many project and maintenance schedules now demand work to be done whilst processes are still live where possible with many sites no longer having traditional shutdown and overhaul periods. (Read More)
New Methods Of Free Explosion Pressure Relief
Intelligent explosion safety does not necessarily have to be expensive or complicated. An innovative technology makes it possible to divert the shock wave and flames of an explosion in a controlled manner. The result being that the required safety area is reduced, and spaces that are freely available are increased. People and machines are protected in the best possible way. (Read More)

How to avoid to become an Ex manufacturer?
In any possible hazardous environment you may find Ex certified devices, installations or even systems. The formula is kind of simple – as long as we do install, operate, maintain and repair as it should be, device is still Ex, and there shall be not any modification even in terms of legal considerations.
What is an Ex product?

LED-based models such as the EXLUX 6002 and 6402 lines from R. STAHL, serve as very energy-efficient general lighting solution in Ex zones 1/21 and 2/22.
One 52 W model can replace two standard 36 W fluorescent lamps while ensuring a much better life span of 100,000 operating hours. Given a high luminous flux of 5,800 lm, (Read More)
How emergency lighting could revolutionise fire safety
Emergency lighting is seen as a requirement for most businesses, but its implementation is spotty, and usage scenarios vary.
With lighting only enforced in areas and escape routes where existing illumination is not sufficient, it’s easy for emergency lighting solutions to fall by the wayside, and either be ignored or implemented in a basic fashion as supplementary to other systems.
New technologies however could see a reappraisal of emergency lighting, as well as other means of safely escaping from a facility. Intelligent, networked solutions using the Internet of Things could allow us to track the conditions in a facility with greater specificity, calculating a response that’s more dynamic and safer for everyone involved.
