The adoption of wireless sensor networks for gas detection is increasing due to their flexibility, and scalability. Wireless sensors enable rapid deployment, easy expansion, and remote monitoring of gas detection systems in diverse industrial environments including oil and gas facilities, chemical plants, and manufacturing facilities. For instance, in August 2022, MSA launched a HazardWatch FX-12 Fire & Gas System with next-generation capabilities. It combines the proven expertise of the industry’s leaders in safety and automation and is a powerful & flexible total safety solution designed to protect people, equipment, facilities, and nearby communities.
The shift toward automation and the rising adoption of software services for functional safety requirements is showing a greater demand. Organizations are building and innovating to address safety issues in various domains. For instance, in March 2024, Lattice Semiconductor released its Lattice Radiant design software, featuring expanded functional safety and reliability capabilities. By integrating with the latest Synopsys Synplify FPGA synthesis tool with TMR, Lattice Radiant offers an advanced design automation flow solution that enables designers to develop Lattice FPGA-based applications more easily with robust functional safety features.
