TeQ Shield™ GUARDIAN-PRIME is the next generation of remote confined space monitoring system engineered to keep complex turnarounds moving with zero blind spots, zero downtime, and full control from anywhere.
GUARDIAN-PRIME integrates the traditional electronic confined space entry system’s (eCSE) live video, gas detection, and two-way communication with United Safety’s new military-grade mesh network connectivity, AI-driven detection, integrated gas detection, and a productivity-driven online reporting tool.
Built for extreme industrial environments (-40°C to 50°C), GUARDIAN-PRIME was rebuilt from the ground up with upgraded industrial internal components, shielded universal cabling, and rugged, waterproof field enclosures to ensure stability, reliability, and ease of maintenance wherever we deploy globally.
From manual watch to digital leadership – The evolution of confined space safety.
The original TeQ Shield™ Guardian moved industrial turnarounds away from resource heavy safety watch to more cost effective, safer digital confined space monitoring. Now, Guardian is evolving to drive productivity and enhance safety even further while delivering a more reliable deployment:
- Data-driven decisions allow clients to make better decisions with insightful dashboard analytics to keep track of contractor activity across monitored vessels.
- Expanded capabilities including AI enhancements, larger selection of camera styles.
- More durable fabrication design and expandable battery packs to meet the global requirements.
- Advanced connectivity is integrated to ensure reliability and expand integration.
United Safety re-engineered eCSE to create a more resilient, fully integrated safety system.
The future of remote confined space monitoring Is TeQ Shield™ GUARDIAN-PRIME
Introducing TeQ Shield™ GUARDIAN-PRIME, the next generation of remote confined space monitoring technology. Backed by over a decade of global turnaround field experience, GUARDIAN-PRIME is purpose-built to meet the demands of long-term, complex industrial projects and high-risk work environments.
TeQ Shield™ GUARDIAN-PRIME adapts seamlessly to your operational environment, project scale, and safety standards, delivering continuous monitoring, real-time insights, and secure data protection to help safeguard personnel and optimize project performance.
The GUARDIAN-PRIME advantage
GUARDIAN-PRIME shifts the focus from simple technical features to measurable operational advantages.
Durability
eCSE isn’t an advantage if it does not run. Improved industrial components are factory-designed and certified for operation at both high and low temperatures, while new shielded cabling is more resilient and uniform, allowing quick switch-out if cables are cut.
AI-driven results
Integrated AI supports the operator and detects PPE and badge swipe misses. These are low-risk but high-incident safety issues which we offload from the operator and onto AI. Freeing our personnel to look for higher risk issues within a confined space or more spaces.
Streamlined Data and Faster Response using Analytics
Online data analytics drives productivity. Our custom dashboard reports on productivity, headcount, gas readings, and safety bookmarks. Clients can track the event remotely and take corrective action during the event, not at the end, to positively impact the schedule.
Tailored Deployment
Maximize your flexibility. PRIME can add additional cameras, specialized cameras such as LiDAR for flow or headcount, or PTZ for security. Need more backup power? The battery system is expandable to meet your needs.
Advanced Site Connectivity
In addition to the line-of-sight connectivity you’d commonly find in traditional eCSE systems, PRIME integrates military-grade wireless mesh connectivity. Need to run a quick two-day entry, add a unit, and it will auto-connect to the mesh. If line of sight is too complicated to install, the self-repairing mesh will drive data back to the command center on an encrypted, safe network.
Flexible Operation
Smaller events are often overlooked. Integrating field-deployable servers as the primary servers connects them to the mesh and enables command centers to fit in your truck, making deployment less expensive and more efficient.
Expandable IoT
Our mesh also allows the connectivity of wearables. Connect temperature and humidity sensors, personal gas monitors, heat stress wearables, and trackers to the mesh network to build an expansive view of the operation.
Integrated Gas Detection
Our new digital gas detection modules have the gas detection built into the eCSE kit and can be deployed within the unit where the work occurs across multiple zones. No more pumps, battery replacements, or limited sampling. All your data will be available on the portal and locally.
Unmatched security
Rest easy knowing your critical site data is guarded by industry-tested software and heavily secured encrypted wireless networks.
Case Study
From blind spots to complete visibility
Every innovation begins with a challenge. GUARDIAN-PRIME was developed to overcome the operational and safety gaps that traditional e-confined space monitoring cannot address. Improve worker protection, optimize resources, and make faster, more informed safety decisions in high-risk environments.
Challenge
Client is falling behind schedule on their critical path vessels. Lack of visibility to work being performed is hampering the adjustments to meet budget and schedule.
Solution
TeQ Shield™ GUARDIAN-PRIME collects data on craft, headcount, and time spent in the vessel. Pushing the data back through its mesh network, PRIME creates a data portal identifying crafts and time being lost on the critical path. Turnaround leads can identify headcount shortages in real time to adjust craft load to improve schedule.
Result
GUARDIAN-PRIME transforms confined space monitoring into a safety and productivity tool. By converting eCSE data into information and making it available to client management, adjustments and meaningful discussions with contractors occur during the event rather than as lessons learned after the schedule has slipped.
Key components of remote confined space monitoring system
Streamline operations by feeding live project data to your choice of interface: a centralized mobile Field Command Center with field-deployable servers, a laptop in a field vehicle, or a rugged on-the-go tablet. Integrate AI to improve efficiency by identifying PPE and badge swipe issues.
- Mesh connects laptops in the field for versatile, cost-saving command centers
- AI-enabled detection catches PPE issues and badge swipes and automatically logs them into the safety suite.
- Drive productivity with eCSE on small, short-duration jobs by using a field tablet.
Complete control, from anywhere.
TeQ Shield™ GUARDIAN-PRIME gives your safety team the flexibility to monitor operations whenever and wherever the job requires.
