Problem to be solved All ships have instrumentation and panels for navigation and control during operation. However, in the mining industry, floating pumping stations lack instruments and panels. The main concern in a floating pumping station lies in the pumping equipment, which has sensors, instruments, alarms, among others for its correct operation. There is no feedback to the operators on the seafaring behavior of the floating platforms, generating uncertainty and fear during inspection and maintenance operations of the pumping equipment on the floating platforms, thus creating a high-risk climate for the crew. While it is true that there are safety controls, these are focused on when the risk materializes and protects the operator (PPE, life jackets, etc.). However, there are no safety controls to prevent a capsizing or sinking of the floating platforms. Description of the innovation Faced with this problem IFLUTECH presents the technological development and creation of the “Monitoring and Control Panel IFLUBARGE”, designed specifically for use in floating pumping platforms in mining, This instrument collects information from the floating platform through an electronic system capable of detecting angular variations with an accuracy of 0. 5° in real time and through its 10plg touch screen it provides information of the real behavior of the floating platform. It also contains a ruler with a set of lights that increase as the barge is inclined and finally a sound alarm set to the maximum design inclination of each floating platform. Advantages The high sensitivity for inclination measurement shows a great capacity to perceive in real time the disturbances to which a floating platform is exposed. The use of the touch-screen interface allows the user to easily operate the equipment. It also allows the user to adapt to future upgrades that may be implemented. The early warning system allows the operator to know the conditions of the platform in real time. Adopting a preventive and safety functionality.
