Asset management in today’s oil & gas industry calls for RFID that rises to the challenge of operating in some of the toughest and most demanding sites on the planet. The stakes are very high — not only for costs, compliance and margins, but also for ensuring personnel and asset safety and security.
HID understands the challenges in the oil & gas industry and can help maximize your asset and inventory management capabilities in a robust, reliable and no-nonsense way. Having a 360° view of processes and equipment means traceability and certifications are kept up-to-date, allowing engineering, drilling or delivery operations to move forward.
Visualize an entire supply chain with our range of passive RFID tags for hazardous or standard conditions, or ask us to custom-design and build a pioneering, trustworthy solution that fits the most unusual requirements for the oil & gas sector.
HID can rise to whatever technical challenge you have and produce innovations that elevate your definition of success, without the necessity of line of sight.
Whether your oil & gas plant specializes in drilling for oil in the Permian Basin or fracking for shale gas in North Dakota, chief among your concerns are personnel safety and keeping track of your million-dollar assets — especially in the most remote locations. For the oil & gas industry, you need an inventory management solution that meets the highest standards. HID’s RFID tags can:
Engineering, drilling and construction company Saipem, which transports assets such as large pipe stacks worldwide, needed safe, automated asset tracking that would work in the presence of steel and seawater at temperatures of -50°C (-58°F) to 50°C (122°F).
HID supplied ATEX-compliant passive tags for hazardous environments for on-metal and plastic installations, working with Saipem to pilot the asset tagging system across a number of offshore oil drilling bases.
The result? Accurate tracking and locating for valuable assets from pipes to buoys, saving money and improving control. In addition, the remote identification system boosted personnel safety.
When contracting in various oil yards, there was a strong need to provide visibility of all the equipment and safety status to owners.
A global oil & gas company sought to automate that tracking with RFID. To achieve their transparency and efficiency goals, the organization moved forward with HID. Together, we established a viable path for digital transformation, integrating with their existing ERP system, and securing rugged, reliable RFID hardware that could survive.
HID’s advanced RFID tags and components are essential to optimizing automated asset tracking and logistics systems for oil & gas. Our transponders help ensure seamless traceability and reduce losses, while enhancing stock management and processing speed. Passive contactless RFID tags improve data collection speed and accuracy, making tracking more cost-effective while increasing accuracy.
Asset utilization is of massive importance in oil & gas, playing a critical role in equipment performance, operational compliance, and maintenance schedules. In this post, we look at the five most impactful ways RFID is helping improve asset utilization in the field.
Watch our webinar to learn from two of our expert team about how RFID can be leveraged to bring a host of benefits to the Oil & gas industry including reduced costs, improved safety and increased efficiency.
RFID, or radio-frequency identification, is a technology that uses radio waves to identify and track objects. In the oil and gas industry, RFID is used for asset tracking, inventory management, compliance, and equipment maintenance.
RFID technology offers benefits such as enhanced asset visibility, improved inventory management, increased safety through personnel monitoring and mustering, streamlined maintenance operations and reduced operational costs.
Yes, RFID systems can be designed to meet hazardous area certifications and are used in various oil and gas environments, including offshore platforms, refineries and drilling sites.
RFID allows for real-time tracking of equipment, tools, and assets, enabling accurate monitoring, reducing loss and optimizing asset utilization.
Yes, RFID tags and readers can be made to withstand extreme temperatures, exposure to chemicals, and physical stress, making them suitable for challenging environments.
RFID can monitor location of personnel in real-time, enhancing safety by enabling rapid response in emergencies, ensuring compliance with safety protocols and managing access to restricted areas. With active IoT solutions using technology like LoRaWAN, a simple but effective panic button can be used to locate workers in times of danger or duress.
RFID enables tags to be encoded with current compliance information so they show the date a specific item was last checked or validated at point of use. This prevents using equipment that is not in compliance or that is in need of inspection.
RFID technology can be used to track a wide range of assets, including drilling equipment, valves, pipelines, tools, safety gear, vehicles, and even personnel. Its versatility makes it suitable for various asset management needs in the industry.
RFID facilitates proactive maintenance by tracking equipment usage and maintenance schedules. It automates maintenance alerts based on usage data, ensuring timely servicing and reducing unplanned downtime, which is crucial for critical equipment in the oil and gas sector.
RFID can be used in upstream, midstream and downstream oil and gas operations. This includes use cases like drilling, exploration, production, and distribution.
