ScanReach, a pioneer in wireless maritime technology solutions, in collaboration with BARTEC, the world market leader in explosion protection, have developed and launched an Explosion-Proof Node. This device is set to redefine the landscape of sensor data integration in EX zones within the maritime industry.
Co-developed with BARTEC, the Explosion-Proof Node seamlessly integrates with the ScanReach OWC (Onboard Wireless Connectivity) network, enabling the wireless ingestion and sharing of diverse sensor data in EX zones. This solution ensures the secure and reliable transmission of critical data in hazardous environments.
The significance of the Explosion-Proof Node is monumental, as it introduces the easiest and most convenient method for shipping companies to absorb and distribute sensor data on vessels such as chemical carriers, gas carriers, and tankers — in areas where safety and compliance are critical. These nodes can be seamlessly added to extend any existing OWC network, allowing shipping companies to access real-time sensor data in EX zones, such as e.g. gas sensing devices.
