Camera Engineering
ATEX Zone 1 Certified Ruggedized Cameras for Industrial Monitoring
Client Background:
The client, a leading industrial equipment manufacturer, required a robust camera solution tailored for ATEX Zone 1 environments, characterized by the presence of explosive atmospheres. Their operations in oil refineries and chemical plants necessitated a high-performance system capable of withstanding extreme environmental conditions, such as intense temperatures, dust, and moisture, while ensuring continuous monitoring.
They partnered with Regami to design a custom solution that would enhance safety and reliability in these high-risk settings.
Challenges:
Operating in hazardous ATEX Zone 1 environments presented significant challenges. The cameras needed to meet stringent safety and regulatory standards for explosive atmospheres. Additionally, they had to function reliably under extreme temperatures, high levels of dust, and moisture, all while requiring minimal maintenance. Seamless integration with the client’s existing monitoring infrastructure was also critical to avoid disruptions and ensure uninterrupted operations.
Regami's task was to design a solution that addressed these requirements while delivering superior performance and durability.
