Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method of monitoring an industrial process by means of an ear protection system having an ear protection unit with a left speaker and a right speaker. The method comprises obtaining (S 2 ) a direction from which a sound is to be provided based on an angle between a coordinate system defined by the ear protection unit and a coordinate system defined by an industrial process environment of the industrial process, and on a location of the origin of the coordinate system of the ear protection unit in the coordinate system of the industrial process environment relative a location of an industrial process component in the coordinate system of the industrial process environment; and providing (S 5 ) a 3-d sound that simulates an origination from the direction by means of at least one of the left speaker and the right speaker, which 3-d sound is indicative of a state of the industrial process component An ear protection system carrying out the method is also presented herein.

Description

technical field [0001] Practical The present disclosure relates to methods and ear protection systems for monitoring industrial processes. Background technique [0002] Industrial processes within real industries such as oil and gas, pulp and paper, metals and mining, power generation, and petrochemical refineries utilize industrial process components, ie, process equipment, for allowing the steps of the industrial process to be carried out. Such industrial process components may be, for example, tanks, valves, motors or controllers. The industrial process components together form the industrial process environment of the industrial process. [0003] Actual process plants are typically equipped with one or more sensors that measure process variables so that the industrial process can be properly monitored by monitoring and control systems. By means of monitoring and control systems, the status of various industrial process components of an industrial process can be monitor...
