With the scanfeld® system Grandperspective provides the world's first early warning solution for hazardous gases that covers complete industrial sites. Based on our optical sensor units that identify a multitude of chemicals from the distance, we visualize and locate hazardous gas clouds and warn in real time against gas leaks and fugitive emissions. Grandperspective is a young company rich in experience. Our know-how in the development and application of remote sensing systems has been developed over years of working with plant operators and first responders all over the world. scanfeld bundles this knowledge into an innovative solution for the remote monitoring of plants of any size. The scanfeld early warning solution combines a novel detection system with an intelligent software package to form world’s first remote monitoring solution that is completely automated. Hundreds of different chemicals are identified from kilometers distance by passive FTIR spectroscopy. Large areas such as production sites, storage or transportation areas are monitored with just a handful of sensor units. Gas leaks are quickly detected and the distribution of hazardous gas clouds is monitored and visualized in real-time. The fully automated early warning solution is designed for the control room of the plant. It delivers an intuitive visualization of gas clouds and a mapping of hazard zones. It provides additional safety barriers and helps to mitigate the effects of gas release events.
