AI for Enhanced Safety Protocols
Central to Synectics’ AI offering is Synergy DETECT, a security platform designed to identify and mitigate safety risks through AI-powered detection tools. This solution enables real-time monitoring and alerts based on custom safety parameters, such as detecting workers without appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). The system can enforce safety protocols more efficiently, helping prevent potential injuries and accidents by flagging any breaches immediately.

Intelligent Monitoring of Hazardous Areas
Synergy DETECT also features a dedicated Hazardous Area Monitoring capability, which uses AI to identify potential risks within dangerous zones. This feature actively monitors the presence of people or vehicles in restricted areas, such as those near sensitive equipment or high-risk processing units. This smart detection reduces the likelihood of accidents, enhancing safety protocols in high-risk LNG environments.

Fall Detection for Worker Safety
A standout AI feature from Synectics is Fall Detection, designed to identify slips, trips, or falls in real time. Unlike traditional "man-down" sensors, which detect only when a device falls or is placed on the ground, this AI-driven system identifies physical incidents directly. This rapid response can potentially save lives by ensuring timely medical assistance in emergencies.

Advanced Risk Detection with COEX Cameras
Synectics’ COEX camera stations have been upgraded to incorporate advanced edge-based AI analytics. These cameras can now differentiate between human and vehicle types, improving surveillance accuracy and reducing false alarms. By focusing on genuine threats, surveillance teams can react more effectively and efficiently, ensuring safety and security across LNG sites. These cameras also support seamless integration with existing control software, making them suitable for both new installations and system upgrades.

Integration of Radiometrics and Radar for Better Risk Awareness
Another highlight at Synectics’ ADIPEC showcase is the integration of radiometrics and radar technologies with COEX cameras. Radiometrics, which detects heat variations, enhances monitoring capabilities in low-visibility environments, while radar integration strengthens detection and tracking of moving objects. This comprehensive approach enables LNG facilities to maintain round-the-clock surveillance and safety compliance, even in challenging conditions.

Remote Monitoring for Greater Efficiency
The AI solutions at ADIPEC also emphasize remote monitoring, a growing trend in the energy sector, especially for offshore and unmanned sites. By centralizing data access and surveillance, operators can monitor multiple sites simultaneously, reducing the need for on-site personnel. This approach not only cuts operational costs but also supports energy efficiency initiatives. With AI-driven analytics, management can remotely assess real-time data, enabling better decision-making for safety and performance optimization.
