SAFETY Digitisation in

SAFETY Digitisation in the field of explosion safety Smart home for factories Visualisation of safety-relevant faults in the control room are only half the battle. In order to appropriately react to such faults, pre-defined counter measures have to be initiated – what sounds simple is a true challenge for plant operators in practice. Although protective systems and plant components react autonomously, the right behavior of employees in critical situations is mandatory. Given the risk of human error, the REMBE iQ Safety Cockpit was developed and launched: GSME and HotSpot detector Similar to a process control system, the REMBE iQ Safety Cockpit offers an overview of all relevant protective and equipment system status, which can also be monitored in real time from any location remotely via smart phone. However, in addition to the PLC, detailed and automatic and semi-automatic action plans can be linked and initiated: In case of an event in a certain area, sending an email or an SMS to a pre-defined distribution group can be automated to bring the incident to their attention. Such a scenario could for example be, that in the event of an explosion the responsible safety officer might be informed by text message via his service phone, the surveillance cameras in the affected area could be activated or set to a different mode and the management would receive an email. Nevertheless, more importantly, the REMBE iQ Safety Cockpit guides the logged in user through the pre-defined plan of action. Forced guidance thereby would ensure that all desired and necessary process steps are followed in the event of a disruption. Those applications and process scenarios of the REMBE iQ Safety Cockpit can be individually configured for each plant; both analog and digital signals can be processed. In addition to the REMBE autonomous protective systems, GreCon spark extinguishing systems, camera systems or even fire detectors and other plant components can be combined and connected to the REMBE iQ Safety Cockpit. Learnings from incidents and systematic root cause analysis are subject to be implemented in improved safety concepts. REMBE iQ Safety Cockpit supports as all data recorded during the emergency plan are compiled and archived in a comprehensive log. This data can be practically expended or adjusted via the various REMBE iQ Safety Cockpit: Example of individually configured application and process scenarios. end devices. When the location of the accident is inspected, photos can be conveniently taken and loaded into the log (via app) for subsequent evaluation. In the end, this means, that all conventional autonomous protective systems from REMBE have become smarter without sacrificing their actual strength, the fast and reliable function. In the age of digitization, it is just as important to ensure a fast response time and the resulting high availability. The REMBE iQ Safety Cockpit also enables optimal integration of other interfaces through the individually coordinated visualization of each process. Faults or, in the worst case, explosions not only require a regulated emergency plan, but also a predictive maintenance that is not only possible through the pure workforce of the employee on site. By detecting the operationally relevant components such as explosion vents, quench valves for explosion protection or pyrolysis gas and fire detectors or grounding systems for explosion prevention, all these can be registered and connected to a material management system. With the GSME and HotSpot detectors from REMBE, an artificial intelligence has been created that detects fire and explosion events at an early stage. The GSME detector is an artificial nose, “trained” for pyrolysis – popularly known as smoldering gases, while the HotSpot detector represents an artificial eye that already detects surface temperature changes of 1 ˚C. Connected to the REMBE iQ Safety Cockpit, the two explosion prevention systems can evaluate changes in state and bring the system into a safe state either automatically or via precise instructions to the operator. If an event, such as an explosion occurs, the system recognizes which areas are affected and provides information about which spare parts are required in order to restore the system to a safe state as quickly as possible. These functions can be submitted in the operator’s system as a “suggestion” or sent directly to the manufacturer as a non-binding request. This creates the option to reduce, the time of plant downtime. In a nutshell: REMBE iQ Safety Cockpit is nothing else than a smart home control or driver assistance system in the automotive industry. Those are used to improve the efficiency and safety of driving a car and enable, in the right mix of auxiliary sensors and smart detectors, autonomous driving. Staying in that picture, simply spoken, REMBE iQ Safety Cockpit, such as an driver assistance system for plants will allow autonomous operation and push safety and efficiency to the highest possible level in the industry 4.0. www.rembe.de 30 No. 1 • March 2022

EVENTS Conference topics create link to LIGNA 2023 After its cancellation in autumn 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 1st Rosenheim LIGNA.Conference is now being launched in summer 2022. The organizer of the LIGNA, the world’s leading trade fair for the wood industry, Hannover-based Deutsche Messe, and the Rosenheim Technical University of Applied Sciences (TH Rosenheim) are teaming up to welcome you to Rosenheim on 1 and 2 June. This event will continue the successful tradition of LIGNA conferences dedicated to providing information on the woodworking and wood processing industry, including the latest trends and topics, in the “non-LIGNA”, i.e. even-numbered years. As this year’s first highlight, it provides the industry with an opportunity to share ideas and network on-site. Registrations for conference attendance can now be made online, with 1 May as the registration deadline. The two-day conference will be held on the campus of TH Rosenheim. And for good reason: the university is considered an educational institution for highly qualified young professionals and is especially well-known for its Faculty of Wood Technology and Construction. In 22 excellently equipped laboratories, world-renowned engineers are trained in the majors of Wood Technology, Wood Building and Construction, Interior Engineering and Civil Engineering, focus timber construction. This educational portfolio is rounded off by further qualification programs for members of the wood industry. “After the LIGNA.Innovation Network online format, which took place in September 2021, we are now offering a highlight with the 1st Rosenheim LIGNA.Conference, which will provide the international wood industry with the opportunity for personal exchange and networking once again, after many months of social distancing including lockdowns, curfews, online events and remote video conferences,” says Stephanie Wagner, the new Head of LIGNA at Deutsche Messe in Hannover. “We chose TH Rosenheim as the venue because we can combine theory with a practical approach directly on site.” “We are pleased to be able to stage this conference in Rosenheim together with LIGNA,” adds Prof. Andreas Heinzmann from TH Rosenheim. “It is important to us that by holding the LIGNA. Conference on campus, there will be a close interaction between the speakers, attendees, presenters and demonstrators and students alike. This time, the LIGNA.Conference will not be held in a classic conference setting, but in the university’s own lecture halls and laboratories.” Conference takes up themes from LIGNA 2023 The contents of the 1st Rosenheim LIGNA. Conference will address the topics of digitization, prefab building and bioeconomy in line with the thematic approach of LIGNA 2023 as well as those of its exhibitors and visitors. Renowned speakers from the business community, including the companies Binderholz, nobilia-Werke, UPM and WeberHaus, will provide insights and outlooks into future developments in woodworking and wood processing in three key topic areas. These speakers will explain what drives and motivates companies and deliver user reports from the field. In addition to the presentations in two lecture auditoriums, the event will be supplemented by breakout sessions and live demonstrations via table tops in the university laboratories, providing an opportunity to delve further into the topics, as suppliers such Biesse, Homag, Microtec, SCM, Siempelkamp, Wandres and Weinig as well as Holzbau.Tech, Hundegger, imos, J. Schmalz, Leuco and Weinmann will present their machines and solutions and provide information about their products. All presentations held in the auditorium will be simultaneously translated into English. The 1st Rosenheim LIGNA.Conference is aimed primarily at technical managers from the woodworking crafts, the wood industry, wood construction and the furniture industry, both from Germany and neighboring countries. www.ligna.de Great demand for innovative concepts Planned as a hybrid event, implemented as an online event – and still a complete success: at IMA Schelling’s Open House 2021, many customers were convinced by the new ideas and product innovations. This is now reflected in the current sales of the innovative concepts. Due to the incidences at the time, it was decided not to hold the Open House 2021 as a hybrid event as planned, but to present the ideas, concepts and new products purely digitally. Thus, the virtual guests, who were connected from all over the world, gained insights into the future software landscape aimi as well as the presentation of the innovative cutting concepts, among other things. Another highlight was the exclusive live demonstration of the new IMAGIC L1 drilling machine for batch size 1 production. More than 250 companies took part of the five days to inform themselves about the new products. How successful and convincing the online presentation of the machines and concepts was is now reflected in the enquiries and sales: IMA Schelling has received several orders for the innovative machine concept for high-performance cutting – the first line will be delivered to a French customer at the beginning of 2023. This customer has ordered three high-performance lines at the same time, and two further systems have been purchased by German customers. The new insertion system for edge processing presented in May is also in demand. The internal contour milling unit (I-KFA) was also ordered – both for new machines and for retrofits. In addition, the first system of the new automated saw-robot concept will go to an interior fitter specialising in fire protection requirements and will be installed at the end of 2022. For IMA Schelling, these are positive signs and confirmation of the right strategy in this time of crisis: the company with its 1,620 employees worldwide has restructured its business areas and invested, among other things, in IT and digitalisation tools as well as new processing machines for its own production, opened new sales and service branches in Sweden and Lithuania and pushed ahead with the further development of its product portfolio. Accordingly, the company is looking ahead to the next few years with confidence and with many orders that extend far beyond 2022. www.imaschelling.com No. 1 • March 2022 31
