When everything looked ready to go live, a quiet engine room revealed what was missed — proper end-to-end testing. Half the PAGA speakers were barely audible, and the failover system failed to switch during a power cut. The cause? Wiring, calibration, and configuration oversights that thorough testing would have caught. The lesson was clear: installation isn’t the finish line, testing is the victory lap.
Properly testing alarm priorities in a PAGA system is not optional—it’s essential for safety. Even a small wiring mix-up can cause alarms to sound incorrectly, masking real emergencies and putting lives at risk. By thoroughly checking connections and ensuring emergency messages override routine signals, engineers can guarantee the system performs reliably when it matters most.
“Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) is crucial for offshore telecom and safety systems, where failure can endanger crew and disrupt vital operations. By ensuring compliance, reliability, and resilience before deployment, FAT minimizes risks in harsh and hazardous environments
Ever wondered how GMDSS integration on offshore platforms and vessels is smooth that it automatically notify coast guards in case of an emergency? Welcome to the world of GMDSS the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System. It’s the unsung hero
PAGA systems are vital for offshore safety, delivering emergency alarms and messages across facilities. Often integrated with Fire & Gas and ESD systems, PAGA ensures fast, coordinated communication when it matters most.
Communication systems on FPSO vessels are essential for safety, operations, and regulatory compliance. This blog explores the international standards that govern these systems like IEC, SOLAS, and DNV.
In offshore environments, connectivity is power. Discover how offshore efficiency with internet is transforming operations, safety systems, and crew welfare, making oil and gas facilities smarter and more resilient at sea.
During our first IP-based PAGA deployment offshore, we overlooked a critical factor, network latency. What seemed like a minor issue turned into a major risk when emergency messages were delayed due to overloaded network traffic and poor design. Here’s what went wrong and how we fixed it.
Reliable offshore communication is essential for safety, efficiency, and compliance with SOLAS and MODU regulations. Discover cutting-edge solutions like SATCOM, UHF/VHF radios, and AI-powered systems to enhance connectivity at sea.
Mistake 1: Not considering all the layouts of the sound coverage study In a brand new blog series will be discussing 7 mistakes we made when deploying a PAGA System. This blog will focus on the first mistake we made:
