Intercom for Energy and Public Utilities
Power to the World
Harsh industrial environments, multi-site networking and complex internal infrastructures of facilities like power plants, water reservoirs or gas storage depots create challenges which sometimes make it difficult to keep the whole systems running. Commend offers comprehensive and highly customised communication and security solutions that reduce the risk of failure, increase security of your workers and maximize your operational efficiency.
Energy Transportation
Power plants generate the energy the world needs. People around the world depend on electrical energy, and your plants are the indispensable bridge from power generation to energy consumption.
Thermal Power Plants
Nuclear, fossil and geothermal power plants play a substantial role in energy production. Incredibly big facilities and related industrial areas with many workers on-site need to be dealt with on a daily basis.
Water Treatment & Storage
Water treatment and storage utiltities are indispensible. Without any water purification, reservoirs, tanks or water towers, pump stations and treatment facilities, the world would face serious problems, especially when it comes to the availability of drinking water.
Renewable Energy
Solar Parks
You want to prevent strangers from entering your solar park? You want to diminish the risk of theft of solar panels or vandalism? At the same time, you want guaranteed access for your workforce and service companies? From a centralised control room you can easily manage and surveil several solar parks without sending out lots of security staff.
Renewable Energy
On- and Offshore Wind Power Stations
Your wind park does not consist of three wind turbines, but rather of 10 or more? You need to be constantly in contact with your maintenance workers but are not personally on site? Mobile phones often do not work? Communication in windparks offshore and onshore is an essential topic and needs highly reliable communication solutions.
Renewable Energy
Hydro Power Stations
Constant noise, continuous maintenance, but little time? Hydro Power Stations face challenges of different kinds. Effective communication systems that reduce background noise and deliver high-end speech quality make the whole communication process a lot easier and reduce maintenance time.
Physical Security
Fear of stolen data, copper, solar panels, or unauthorized access? Talking cameras and reliable INTERCOMmunication combined with highest cyber security standards substantially support you in preventing your facilities from any external attack.
Business Continuity
Effective interaction and crisis management in the event of a problem – ranging from small incidents to highly critical emergency cases like power failure – can save lives and facilitates proper reaction as well as recovery and reactivation of business operations. This is in support of the resilience of critical services and processes.
Instant Communication
Reliable INTERCOMmunication with your workers and wherever you are allows instant, targeted support that in turn saves effort, time and money. Commend solutions involve many components that ensure two-way communication with your workers on site, at emergency call points, with the control centre, or anywhere else.
Applications for Energy and Public Utilities
Securing
Perimeter Protection
Prevent strangers from entering your premises with perimeter protection, public address and seamless integration with video surveillance systems. This perfect team ensures that your premises are protected from any external threat, such as physical attack or theft. Intruders are tackled directly from the control room without the need for security staff.
Communicating & Securing
Public Address
Fast and effective communication is important to keep a large group of people informed. Emergency alerts, safety instructions, event announcements, public service announcements and other types of messages can be delivered in high volume and voice quality to staff on site.
Reacting & Securing
Emergency & Evacuation
Trusted emergency and evacuation systems with two-way communication guarantee fast incident reaction and ensure that your workers are safe in any situation. Help and meeting points make it easy for your staff to contact the Control Center and stay connected. Dynamic escape route guidance ensures a safe route for your workers to the muster/assembly point.
Securing & Communicating
Access Control for Doors & Barriers
Controlled access for your employees and service providers (vehicular and pedestrian) at all entrances to your premises is guaranteed. Calls that cannot be answered immediately can be forwarded automatically to mobile devices. Effective access management supports you in your daily tasks and gives you an overview of your employees' whereabouts.
Securing
Control Desk Management
A centralised management system provides a clear overview of several areas and locations of your facilities as well as your employees' whereabouts. It also facilitates the support and coordination of service and maintenance teams.
Communication in Explosive Zones
Intercom systems certified in accordance with ATEX, IEC Ex, CCC Ex, explosion hazard group IIC and temperature T6 withstand extreme conditions (heat/cold, water, chemicals, dust and dirt – as per IP 66).
Operational Communication in Rough Environments
Intercom stations with sturdy enclosure incl. double-walled design and surfaces resistant against chemicals, harsh climate influence (heat/cold), water, dust and dirt, as per IP 66, are specifically made for rough environments.
Integration of Mobile Radio Communication Systems
Direct communication with any mobile radio (analogue/digital) for maintenance and emergency services is enabled.
