Inspection software for explosion-protected plants

PEC-EX is the lat­est soft­ware mod­ule R. STAHL intro­duces exclu­sive­ly for the plant man­agers work­ing in the explo­sion-pro­tect­ed plants. The pri­ma­ry objec­tive of this solu­tion is to opti­mise the plan­ning exe­cu­tion and doc­u­men­ta­tion of the inspec­tions and tests con­duct­ed peri­od­i­cal­ly in a plant. PEC is the inge­nious inno­va­tion of Plant Engi­neer­ing Cen­ter (PEC) soft­ware com­pa­ny AGU in col­lab­o­ra­tion with R. Stahl, their glob­al sales part­ner. PEC bun­dles all the iso­lat­ed sys­tems involved in test­ing and inspec­tion into a cog­nate solu­tion to give a com­plete overview of the plant, any­where, any­time. Data is com­piled dig­i­tal­ly, and can be scanned, fil­tered and eval­u­at­ed using sta­tus mon­i­tor­ing. PEC com­pris­es of three effec­tive mod­ules, name­ly PEC-EX, PEC-FS and PEC-SQ. PEC-EX is a homoge­nous tool that sim­pli­fies the prepara­to­ry work for inspec­tions of elec­tri­cal and mechan­i­cal Ex-equip­ment by pro­vid­ing an inte­grat­ed inspec­tion plan gen­er­a­tor and by account­ing the ver­i­fi­ca­tion of intrin­sic safe­ty. PEC-SQ per­forms a large vari­ety of inspec­tions such as enter­prise, busi­ness or facil­i­ty-lev­el inspec­tions. PEC-FS is the Func­tion­al Safe­ty mod­ule that sup­ports in test­ing the Safe­ty Inte­grat­ed Func­tion (SIF) in accor­dance to the IEC stan­dards. PEC runs on browsers and also has a ded­i­cat­ed mobile app for onsite appli­ca­tion on devices like tablets. This ensures com­plete­ly paper­less work­flow to save time and organ­i­sa­tion­al effort. Along with the soft­ware, R. Stahl offers expert advice from the prepa­ra­tion of con­cepts right up to the plan­ning, exe­cu­tion and assess­ing the inspec­tions. We also sup­port in inte­grat­ing exist­ing data sources like equip­ment reg­is­ters. Equipped with data and process inter­faces to all ERP, CAE, doc­u­ment and engi­neer­ing sys­tems. PEC guar­an­tees seam­less oper­a­tion of the plant in com­pli­ance to the leg­is­la­tion and reg­u­la­tions such as the Ger­man ordi­nance on indus­tri­al safe­ty and health, IEC 60079–17, IEC 61508, IEC 61511, VDE and many more.
