Application

Chemical or oil and gas plants, i.e. refineries, are often open-air plants. Emergency buttons and local control switches are subject to rough mechanical and environmental conditions. Malfunction often causes operation problems.

Background to the development was a falling part of a scaffolding that hit an emergency shut off button of
a German refinery and caused a damage of several million euros.
