Hosted by Bosch Audio & Video Systems in collaboration with Tecnovideo, the EnergySecure 2025: Communication & Security Innovation for Oil & Gas Industry event brought together leading system integrators, consultants, and Oil & Gas operators at Fairmont Jakarta.
The event aimed to address a growing demand for reliable safety communication and intelligent monitoring systems across Indonesia’s energy sector, where safety and continuity are critical to national operations.
Strengthening Industrial Safety through Smarter Communication
Safety in the Oil & Gas environment starts with clear communication. Bosch’s PRAESENSA Public Address and Voice Alarm (PAVA) system, a fully IP-based solution, has been trusted worldwide for delivering reliability and centralised control in the most demanding industrial environments.
Built for large-scale operations such as refineries and offshore rigs, PRAESENSA ensures redundant network architecture, so messages are delivered even during partial system failure. The system allows operators to broadcast targeted voice announcements across multiple zones, supporting both emergency alerts and routine communications in real time.
“Oil & Gas sites require communication systems that are as resilient as the operations they support,” said Mr. Ronald Rusli, Managing Director of Keenfinity Indonesia, representing Bosch Audio Brands. “PRAESENSA offers end-to-end reliability, from control room to the farthest field station.”
Bosch experts also emphasised how digitalisation in public address systems enables seamless integration with safety management and monitoring platforms, paving the way for unified command during emergencies.
From Visibility to Control—Intelligent Surveillance in Hazardous Zones
Complementing the communication system, Bosch presented the Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA)—offering predictive-ready solutions designed to support smarter, data-driven decisions to enhance business efficiency and performance in Oil & Gas operations. Equipped with AI-based detection capabilities, the system can automatically identify incidents such as intrusion or unauthorised movement in restricted zones, allowing operators to respond proactively.
To ensure reliable video performance in hazardous areas, Bosch partnered with Tecnovideo, an Italian manufacturer specialising in explosion-proof camera housings certified under ATEX and IECEx standards. Tecnovideo’s rugged enclosures protect high-performance Bosch cameras from heat, corrosion, and explosion risks, ensuring continuous operation even in offshore or refinery environments.
“In extreme sites like compressor stations or offshore decks, cameras must endure the same conditions as the crew,” noted a Tecnovideo representative. “Our housings allow Bosch’s analytics to function safely, where visibility often saves lives.”
Together, Bosch and Tecnovideo demonstrated how smart video and durable protection form a unified monitoring solution for Indonesia’s challenging industrial landscapes.
Demonstrating Integrated Safety in Action
The highlight of EnergySecure 2025 was the live demo session, where Bosch engineers simulated real-world safety events typical in Oil & Gas facilities. In a demonstration of the PRAESENSA system, the team triggered an emergency alarm scenario across multiple zones. Attendees observed how the system maintained communication continuity even when a key node was disconnected, illustrating true redundancy in network design.
The session then transitioned to Bosch’s Intelligent Video Analytics, integrated with Tecnovideo explosion-proof housings. In a simulated hazard event, the system detected abnormal activity and triggered simultaneous visual and voice alerts, showcasing how audio, video, and analytics converge to create a coordinated safety response. The interactive format sparked detailed discussions among system integrators and end users, who explored integration options with existing control systems and plant safety networks, underscoring strong interest from Indonesia’s Oil & Gas sector.
Advancing Safety Standards for Indonesia’s Energy Future
The event concluded with a shared message: integrated safety technology is essential to sustainable energy operations. As Indonesia expands its energy infrastructure, the need for systems that combine communication, visibility, and automation becomes increasingly vital. Bosch and Tecnovideo’s solutions demonstrate how technology can minimise human risk, ensure regulatory compliance, and improve overall operational uptime.
By bridging safety communication with intelligent monitoring, Bosch is reinforcing its commitment to empowering Indonesia’s Oil & Gas industry with the tools to protect both people and performance—paving the way for safer and more resilient industrial operations.
