ip³Smart Blinds — Safe Blinds are Smart Blinds.
Live verification of every isolation blind installed at pipe joints across your refinery — so maintenance crews never approach a high-pressure system without knowing it's been safely isolated. Built for turnaround safety at refineries and petrochemical plants.
Built for turnaround safety.
Refinery and petrochem maintenance turnarounds depend on positive isolation. ip³ Smart Blinds gives safety teams, operators and contractors live confirmation that every blind is in place — before, during and after the job.
Pre-turnaround verification
Confirm every isolation blind is installed and oriented correctly before maintenance windows begin.
Live blind state monitoring
Continuous status of in-place blinds across the plant — no clipboards, no walkdowns, no guessing.
Unauthorized removal alerts
Instant notification when a blind is removed early, swapped or disturbed during work.
Per-joint location & history
Every blind tagged to its pipe joint with a full timeline of installs, removals and inspections.
Permit-to-work integration
Tie blind status to LOTO and hot-work permits so jobs can't start until isolation is verified.
Refinery & petrochem ready
ATEX/IECEx rated BLE sensors for Zone 0/1/2 hazardous areas common in refineries.
Solar for outdoors. Battery for everywhere else.
Both configurations include a BLE-enabled LTE gateway that links with our BLE blind status sensors — pick the one that fits your deployment environment.
Solar Mini + BLE Sensors
Self-powered solar LTE gateway with built-in BLE — drop it anywhere outdoors at the refinery and start tracking blinds within minutes. No power, no trenching, no IT involvement.
- Self-powered solar LTE gateway — no wiring, no batteries to swap
- Built-in BLE for pairing with blind status sensors
- Magnet & bracket mount to scaffolding, racks or pipe stanchions
- IP67 sealed for outdoor refinery & petrochem environments
- Long-range LTE backhaul covers entire unit areas
B3 Battery + BLE Sensors
Long-life battery LTE + BLE gateway for shaded, indoor or short-deployment environments where solar isn't practical — compressor houses, pipe alleys and temporary turnaround zones.
- Multi-year battery LTE + BLE gateway
- Indoor / shaded deployments where solar isn't viable
- Drop-in placement for compressor houses, pipe alleys & enclosures
- Same BLE sensor compatibility as the Solar version
- Ideal for short-duration turnaround deployments
Compact, hazardous-area BLE sensors that ride on every blind.
Mount directly to the blind handle or flange. They report orientation, presence and tamper events to the Solar or Battery gateway nearby.
Multi-Sense BLE
Standard blind status sensor for general process areas — confirms blind in place and detects unauthorized movement.
Eye Sensor ATEX
ATEX/IECEx certified BLE sensor for hazardous refinery zones — the same form factor and reporting as Multi-Sense, certified for explosive atmospheres.
