Crimson has been deployed to conduct a crisis management exercise on two separate operations and maintenance sites, 12 miles apart: the first covers 250 miles of pipelines with 60 or so stations and a 24/7 operations centre; the second holds a Telecom building, it is entirely fenced with sensors (access control, intrusion detection and videosurveillance). The PSIM solution has made it possible to qualify incidents occurring simultaneously on both sites subject to terrorist attacks, and to share situational awareness across sites between fixed and mobile operators.
Crimson for planning and managing complex industrial operations and protecting industrial infrastructures
The Crimson solution is a unique Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) platform for industrial sites, which integrates the technical supervision of systems as well as the monitoring and management of manufacturing, maintenance and surveillance operations.
Plant sites known as "Operators of Vital Importance" (OIV), in particular SEVESO sites, play a critical role in national security in terms of protection against safety risks (natural, technological, health-related…) and security risks (terrorism, sabotage, etc.). The new European REC Directive (2022/2557) requires them to take appropriate and proportionate technical, security and organisational measures to ensure their resilience in the event of a crisis.
The Crimson solution offers a well-adapted tool to prevent incidents from occurring, respond to, resist and mitigate the consequences of incidents.
DESFA: multi-site safety and security management
Greece's national natural gas system operator, DESFA S.A., steers the operation, management, exploitation and development of the natural gas transportation system and its interconnections. It ensures the supply and the diversification of supply sources all the way to the Bulgarian and Turkish borders.
Orano Tricastin: crisis management
The industrial plant of Orano Tricastin is specialised in converting and enriching uranium, and in fluorinated chemical activities. It meets all the safety and security requirements in adequation with the risks involved, to ensure the protection of persons, property, goods and the environment, both on and offsite. In the event of a major incident, an Internal Operation Plan (IOP) is set in motion to implement internal safety measures, and the Prefect's Special Intervention Plan (SIP), to prompt external assistance (firefighters, police…).
To roll out its safety and security crisis management exercises, Orano has used the collaborative software solution Crimson. The operational goal was to test and validate the alerting and communication chain in the whole decision-making process, the coordination of the first responders and crisis units towards more efficient crisis management.

Géométhane: Site supervision and incident management training
An underground natural gaz storage facility located in Manosque, the SEVESO plant site Géométhane helps secure the energy supply of the southern region of France and the French territory as a whole. To face the major industrial hazards inherent to their processes, the plant site has resorted to using the Crimson software solution to conduct crisis management exercices involving site safety officers as well as policemengaz technicians and the firefighters of the Alpes de Haute-Provence rescue services.
The Crimson platform enables stakeholders to centralise and share situational information: the command post (CP) coordinates the ground units, including the mobile CPs across all affected areas. Using their mobile devices, the safety officers have pushed information from the ground up and integrated the geolocated incidents into the tactical situation. The action logging and replay functionalities makes it possible, afterwards, for all professional services to debrief and validate the procedure, means, and expertises in high-risk industrial sites.

Aquaserv: site monitoring and protection
Aquaserv S.A. (AQS) is a major water supply and sanitation public operator located in Mures county, in Romania. To address both the safety and security risks faced by the industral site, the Crimson solution has been implemented as a collaborative tool for supervising the site and handling incidents.
The system is also used to train operators using incident scenario combining both physical and cyber tampering in the AQS facilities, at the point of entry and in the treatment plant.
