Healthcare Case Study

PROJECT BACKGROUND

Over time, impurities and sediment accumulate inside oil storage tanks, affecting the quality of the stored oil. Regular cleaning is essential to remove these contaminants and maintain oil quality. Additionally, corrosion can develop within the storage tank, leading to leaks or even structural failure. Routine cleaning helps identify early signs of corrosion, enabling timely repairs or replacements.

However, the presence of oil, gas, and sediment inside the storage tank can create explosive mixtures or release hazardous gases, posing significant risks to cleaning workers’ health and safety.

 

PROJECT REQUIREMENTS

Jiangsu Tianpeng Petrochemical sought a real-time health monitoring system to track the vital signs of workers operating inside the storage tanks. The system needed to promptly issue alerts in case of emergencies, ensuring immediate intervention and reducing the risk of workplace accidents.

 

SOLUTION

Cassia Networks implemented an advanced occupational health monitoring system using Bluetooth gateways and wearable Bluetooth devices such as wristbands and armbands. This system continuously collects and transmits workers’ vital sign data—including heart rate, blood pressure, and blood oxygen levels—via Bluetooth wristbands or armbands.

The data is then uploaded in real-time to the enterprise management platform through Cassia’s Bluetooth gateway, which is strategically deployed on top of the oil storage tank. This enables continuous monitoring of workers’ physical conditions and provides immediate alerts when abnormal health indicators are detected.

Key features of the system include:

Real-time health monitoring: Continuous tracking of heart rate, blood pressure, and blood oxygen levels

Data transmission & cloud integration: Seamless data upload to the enterprise management platform

Alert and notification system: Instant alerts for abnormal readings, reducing response time for medical assistance

Vibration reminders: Alerts workers when their health metrics exceed safe limits
