Recently, GIL Automations deployed the Touchpoint Plus system at a major LPG Facility in Lagos, Nigeria as a replacement for the existing System 57. These days a major challenge experienced by customers who have the old System 57 panel in their facilities is the
obsolescence of spare parts. This often results in extended downtime whenever a critical part becomes faulty. For this customer, the story was the same; the old panel caused endless disruptions to their operations. This frequent downtime led to consequential financial loss! In
order to resolve this, GIL Automations proposed the Touchpoint Plus to replace the faulty system.

From procurement to onsite installation and integration, GIL Automation displayed high level of professionalism in ensuring that the upgrade did. One of the advantages of migrating to the TPPL is that the existing field cabling can be re-used. This helps to save cost that could have resulted from the replacement of cables. Another improvement offered by this system is the touchscreen, liquid crystal display (LCD) interface that allows real time monitoring of gas readings and events monitoring. The controller works with Honeywell range of industry leading gas detectors, audible and visual alarms to provide a complete end-to-end, highly configurable safety solution.
