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 loudspeaker and a right loudspeaker. The method includes: based on the angle between a coordinate system defined by the ear protection unit and a coordinate system defined by the industrial process environment of the industrial process, and based on the position of the industrial process component in the coordinate system relative to the industrial process environment, the industrial the location of the origin of the ear protection unit's coordinate system in the process environment's coordinate system, obtaining (S2) the direction in which the sound is to be provided; obtaining (S4) real-time process variable data related to at least one process variable of the industrial process component; and providing (S5) a 3-d sound simulating an origin from the direction on at least one of the left speaker and the right speaker, the 3-d sound indicating a state of the industrial process component, wherein the 3-d sound simulates a state of at least one process variable Actual sounds reflecting the real-time state of at least one process variable. An ear protection system implementing this 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...
