Extech feedback from SAFA & what you can expect at AAF in June 2019

SAFA Symposium 9 May 2019

The SAFA Symposium was held at Carnival City on Thursday, the 9th of May.

The theme of the symposium was ‘Ex IN ACTION’ and the aim was to share knowledge and information on explosion prevention.

There were several interesting papers presented including: The Role of the ATL; Population of Exd/Exe Enclosures.  Digital Matters (one of our customers) presented on a paperless inspection & maintenance approach to Ex compliance (using the i.safe MOBILE devices that are available from Extech), including 100ms barcode scanning with the smart phone.  This paper generated a lot of discussion.

Another notable paper was presented by Sedna on the Advantages of Underground Wifi.  They discussed improved communication, access to digital documentation as well as video collaboration.  But the biggest safety improvement is with location tracking (RTLS); this allows tracking of people, in case of emergency, and can prevent accidents using geofencing.

At the Extech stand, we showcased the new HMT-1Z1 i.safe MOBILE headset phone, which was the highlight of the show together with the new i.safe MOBILE IS phones & tablets.

We also had some of the new Sensear products available for customers to see.  The Sensear headsets have active noise reduction, and they can be cable connected or bluetooth to handset or phones.
