Zone 1 Solution
Seamless Wi-Fi Connectivity in a Hazardous Zone: A Benchmark Success Story
A Leading Healthcare organization was in the process of implementing global processes that required seamless access to data on ATEX-certified iPads and tablets within Zone 1 (Hazardous Area).
However, they faced a major obstacle—no existing Wi-Fi infrastructure was available in this high-risk environment, making connectivity impossible.
The company planned to deploy Cisco APs in Zone 1 as part of their globally approved infrastructure, but no suitable solutions were available that met both safety and performance standards for hazardous areas.
Understanding the critical need for a compliant and high-performance solution, Benchmark Computer Solutions stepped in to engineer a robust PESO-certified enclosure for Cisco APs. Our expert team:
- Designed a PESO-certified enclosure incorporating toughened glass to enhance signal strength.
- Conducted a Wi-Fi on Stick study to determine the best locations for optimal coverage.
- Used advanced heat mapping techniques to identify precise access point placements.
- Installed Cisco APs in PESO-certified ceiling and wall-mounted enclosures.
- Ensured that all installation processes adhered strictly to Zone 1 safety compliance standards.
With our customized solution, the customer successfully achieved uninterrupted Wi-Fi access in Zone 1, ensuring seamless communication and real-time data access for their team. The implementation significantly improved operational efficiency, data integrity, and compliance with safety regulations.
SPC Software
A leading Industrial Conglomerate always prioritized Total Quality Management (TQM) as a key strategy for excellence.
With a strong commitment to achieving the prestigious Deming Award, one of the highest global accolades for TQM, this customer embarked on a journey to enhance its quality management processes.
As part of this initiative, they engaged the expertise of a Senior Domain Expert, a renowned Japanese TQM consultant, to refine their Statistical Process Control (SPC) methodologies. However, despite investing in industry-leading SPC software, they encountered challenges in achieving the desired results.
Recognizing this critical gap, Benchmark Computer Solutions partnered with the customer to develop a customized SPC software tailored to their specific needs. Working closely under the domain expert’s guidance, Benchmark meticulously designed a robust, intuitive, and feature-rich solution that aligned perfectly with the customer’s quality objectives.
The journey began with a Proof of Concept (POC) at one of the sites, which successfully delivered the expected results. Encouraged by this success, the customer has expanded the deployment across its plants in India, ensuring standardization and excellence in its quality control processes. The customer successfully elevated its TQM standards, playing a pivotal role in winning the Deming Award.
Data Center Solution
Transforming A Leading Technology Institute’s Data Centre into a Smart Powerhouse
A leading institution in India, renowned for cutting-edge research and academic excellence, needed a future-ready data centre to handle massive computational workloads, research data, and student services.
