HANDSFREE COMMUNICATION IN EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS

Working on an onshore or offshore drilling rig is a demanding job, carried out in an extremely harsh environment. The presence of a potentially explosive atmosphere further adds to the challenge. Reliable communication among drilling staff is therefore essential, playing a critical role in ensuring the safety of the entire rig.

Drillers must be able to communicate clearly and coordinate efficiently. However, continuously operating handheld devices or pressing keys is often impractical, especially in high-risk areas such as the Monkey Board, Drill Floor, Moon Pool, or Shale Shaker. In environments where hands must remain free for other tasks, INDUSTRONIC’s Driller’s Intercom with Handsfree Duplex offers the perfect solution.

Additionally, when required, the entire drilling crew can hold a full-duplex conference for seamless team coordination. Each intercom station features handsfree duplex functionality, enabling all participants to speak and listen simultaneously - without the need to press a button.

Thanks to echo cancellation, there are no acoustic feedback loops – even in noisy environments.
