Compressed Air Work GmbH has developed the first mobile automated system for decompression chambers for personnel known as CAIS – Compress Air Intervention System. Fundamentally, the system comprises digital touchscreen recording technology to register all relevant information of the workers in compressed air intervention on tunnel construction sites that employ TBMs, and for all other caisson work.

It is a revolutionary improvement to the worksite, firstly because it contains all the components needed for the mobile automation system, and secondly, it houses oxygen reading devices, digital displays that provide all the requisite data and figures for the “manlock attendant” and all controls of the mobile automation system with ports for sensors, the IT components, the hand-held scanner and the network supply as well as what is the heart of the system a 12 inch multifunctional, touch screen panel.

Now what does the practical CAIS case help automate?  The exact times and sequences in which a compressed air worker is introduced into a pressurised work space, can perform his work there and be recovered.  The gradual recovery period, the so-called “decompression period”, serves to protect a person's life and health.  That is why is required that such assignments are subject to strict time limitations.  Time recording, has to be accurate for safety reasons.
