1. Petrobras R&D center is Transparent Ready
Petrobras is the first Oil and Gas company in Brazil
Main research lines of the R&D center (2500 persons), in Rio de Janeiro:
Oil (exploration, drill, off-shore including deep water, refinery processes…) and natural gas
New energies (Hydrogen, bio diesel, photo-voltaic cells, windmills...)
Competition (Formula 1)
R&D center monitoring system:
Co-generation and electrical distribution monitoring
Offices controlled by zones
Labs rooms controlled one by one:
Air conditioning and humidity
Electrical distribution and Lighting
Exhausting ventilation for chemical
Gas distribution
An industrial solution needed, due to open architecture and the precision required for labs regulation
