Working on an onshore or offshore drilling rig is a demanding job, performed in an extremely harsh environment. The prevailing, potentially explosive atmosphere adds to this challenge. This makes effective communication between the drilling staff all the more important, as it contributes significantly to the safety of the entire drilling rig.  

The drillers must be able to communicate clearly and coordinate quickly with each other. However, when working on a rig, it is often not practical to constantly use keys or devices, especially in areas such as the Monkey Board, Drill Floor, Moon Pool or Shale Shaker. For those environments where hands must be free for other activities, Driller's Intercom with Handsfree Duplex from INDUSTRONIC is the perfect solution.

An example: The driller on the Monkey Board must coordinate the next step with the Driller's Cabin. To do this, he presses the key once on his outdoor/Ex intercom station, which has the Driller's Cabin programmed as the target. A full duplex connection is immediately established between the Monkey Board and Driller's Cabin - i.e. both can speak and listen at the same time. Neither party has to press another key during the course of the conversation. The hands remain free and the drillers can proceed with their work while speaking. Likewise, the Driller's Cabin can also establish a full duplex connection to the Monkey Board or any other intercom station (e.g. Moon Pool) at any time. 

If required, the entire drilling staff can also confer by setting up a joint full duplex conference. For this purpose, each intercom station is equipped with the handsfree duplex feature. This allows each conference participant to speak and listen at any time without having to press a key.

Due to the integrated echo cancellation, no acoustic feedback occurs - even in noisy environments.

Optionally, each outdoor / Ex intercom station can be extended with a headset and/or foot switch. Additionally, an external 25-W speaker can be connected.

Plant Warning - Prompt, Clear, Reliable

Industrial plants are growing larger and more interconnected, making prompt and reliable plant warnings essential. In emergencies, alarm tones, voice announcements, and visual signals guide personnel to safety and trigger shutdowns as needed. When a gas leak is detected, it is quickly relayed to the plant warning system, which can also take data from sensors, such as wind sensors, to assess risk in nearby buildings. This system allows tailored responses, triggering alarms and controls only in affected areas, minimizing disruption to unaffected parts of production.

Our safety-critical PA, PA/GA, and Intercom systems are designed to withstand even the harshest industrial environments. When it comes to emergencies, reliability is key in protecting people, machinery and the environment. That's why we offer solutions to eliminate any single point of failure, ensuring the availability of your system when you need it most.

Our redundancy concepts are the answer to increasing the reliability of your PA, PA/GA, and Intercom systems. By identifying critical components and duplicating them, we provide an adequate solution to avoid system failures and downtimes. Choose from our flexible redundancy concepts for the INTRON-X system:

• Hot Standby System, A+B System (shared operation)
• A+B System/1+1/N+1/N+N component redundancy
• N+1 component redundancy

All our redundancy concepts come with integrated continuous system monitoring and a watchdog function. This means that any component failures are detected and indicated in real-time, allowing for immediate action.

We understand that every customer and site has unique requirements. That's why our redundancy concepts can be tailored to meet your specific needs. Our dedicated team is here to assist you in finding the right solution for your safety-critical applications. Experience reliability, durability, and peace of mind with INDUSTRONIC.
