IDENTEC SOLUTIONS, the global leader in wireless sensor networks, is now used exclusively at the Sørlandets Sikkerhetssenter for the training and certification of oil rig personnel stationed in the North Sea and Middle East.
The Sørlandets Sikkerhetssenter is part of Falck Nutec, which for over 30 years has been at the international forefront for industrial safety training and certification for the oil and gas industry. When the state-of-the-art center recently opened its doors in Kristiansand, Norway, it featured simulators, fire drill areas, a pool for barrel roll evacuation practice, and IDENTEC SOLUTIONS' WATCHEROFFSHORE systems.
The comprehensive onsite training and counseling conducted at Sørlandets Sikkerhetssenter, provides the necessary certifications for offshore workers stationed in the North Sea and Middle East.
"We were pleased to have WATCHEROFFSHORE selected for the Sørlandets Sikkerhetssenter facility," said Frank Wehus; the General Manager of IDENTEC SOLUTIONS' Center of Excellence; Oil, Gas, Mining and Tunneling in Norway. "Not only are most offshore personnel in the North Sea and Middle East now completely familiar with our systems; it also provides the ideal centre for customer training and demonstrations."
IDENTEC SOLUTIONS' WATCHEROFFSHORE systems are widely deployed in the North Sea and Middle East. All of the WATCHEROFFSHORE systems have been developed in collaboration with the oil and gas industry and are designed to meet the world's most stringent certifications and standards.
"Our solutions are developed to offer unwavering reliability in the most demanding environments," states Gerhard Schedler, President and CEO of IDENTEC SOLUTIONS. "It's this commitment that has enabled us to deliver personnel safety solutions that not only meet all necessary certifications; they are also highly supported by those whose lives they were designed to protect."
The IDENTEC SOLUTIONS' WATCHEROFFSHORE personnel protection systems include; mustering solutions, monitoring of lone workers, voice communication, access control and are easily adapted to any work environment. Since the entire system is leveraged on IDENTEC SOLUTIONS' SensorSMART Platform, adding supplementary sensors and software for workflow optimization is easily enabled.
