What is an Intrinsically Safe device?

Intrinsically safe electronics allow for safe operation in hazardous areas by limiting the electrical or thermal energy available for ignition.

ATEX is the name commonly given to the two European Directives for controlling explosive atmospheres – Directive 99/92/EC (also known as ‘ATEX 137’) and Directive 94/9/EC (also known as ‘ATEX 95’).

Hardware

CEPSA, always using the most advanced and reliable technology today, employs the RealWear smart glasses HMT-1Z1 and a wireless connectivity device, both of which are intrinsically safe, to aid their workers.

Using smart glasses versus a handheld device improves the safety conditions for field workers and increases their mobility during remote visits. Remote Expertise can also be installed on other intrinsically safe devices like smartphones.

"We see a bright future in our business partnership with Wideum due to their continuous product improvements and quick response capabilities."

Adrian Cheong

Technical product manager

"We believe in a bright future for remote service technology, especially for companies like Cepsa for which safety is the cornerstone of their operations, and for which, until very recently, there was no technology in the market that would allow to perform this kind of activities at our industrial facilities. Thanks to Remote Expertise now it is possible".

Javier Arce

Strategic Alliances and Innovation

"Thanks to this solution, we provide our professionals with an alternative that manages to reduce the overall time spent on maintenance activities in plants and production inspections by 20%. As highlighted by the oil company, the implementation of this system also allows for 'cost and time reduction,' and increases the safety of personnel by minimizing physical access to any potentially dangerous installation."
