Cabin Pressure Monitoring

Vehicle cabins are a critical control, isolating operators from harmful airborne dusts in the outside environment. To ensure cabins are working to protect workers, they require regular maintenance. Generally, this involves regularly replacing seals, cabin filters and maintaining positive pressure within the cabin. Testing the effectiveness of seals and the air-conditioning system requires the plant to be parked up for additional maintenance time.

By measuring air pressure inside versus outside of the cabin, you can determine how effective the cabin is at controlling dust from entering the cabin. This is a recognised method that can replace traditional subjective cabin testing with an objective, real-time solution that informs planned maintenance.

Information on how the cabin performs is also valuable for informing personal exposure monitoring exceedance investigations.

How does it work?

Cabin Sensors

Our solution involves placing a wireless sensor inside the cabin to measure differential pressure (inside and outside of the cabin). The sensors regularly feed data directly to the cloud over a cellular connection, providing you with real-time information displayed in a dashboard that can be accessed anytime, anywhere.

Sensors can be installed into as many cabins as required, with gateways (data receivers) positioned throughout the site to receive the data. This replaces the traditional after-the-fact and subjective methods of monitoring cabin integrity, and replaces them with an objective, real-time solution.

GCG will also provide additional data analysis in a monthly report outlining potential worker exposure and maintenance insights. GCG specialists analyse the real-time data and provide insights to minimise the impact to maintenance personnel.

Realtime explained

Realtime Dashboard Reporting

The dashboard is automatically updated with the most current data available and provides you with instant access to critical information.

This real-time information is useful for identifying risks as they’re occurring, identifying emerging trends and developing maintenance schedules.

The solution includes GCG specialists analysing the real-time data and providing insights to minimise the impact to maintenance personnel.

Installation Gallery

Installation of the sensors and gateways (data receivers) is simple and takes less than ten minutes per cabin. The sensors operate wirelessly and are easily mounted using screws or zip ties and 3M tape.

Tubing is run through existing grommets for external sampling and a filter is added on external tubing to prevent dust/water ingress.
