The integration of AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) technology is revolutionizing the industrial landscape, enabling smarter, safer, and more efficient operations. At a large LNG receiving station, TruGem’s AIoT solution has addressed critical monitoring challenges, leveraging cutting-edge real-time monitoring and intelligent automation technologies. Here’s how the solution works and the transformative benefits it delivers.
Background and Challenges
The LNG receiving station, with an annual processing capacity of 7 million tons, previously relied on camera systems for manual monitoring. This approach posed significant challenges:
- Inefficiency: Manual observation failed to provide timely detection of unsafe behaviors or environmental risks during high-risk operations.
- High Costs: Dependence on human labor increased operational expenses without guaranteeing consistent vigilance.
To address these pain points, the station required a next-generation solution to enhance safety, improve efficiency, and reduce costs.
Customer Requirements
