An opportunity to invest in RFID to address several problems inherent to their core business, including a better method of tracking polymer products that are stored and shipped from the product warehouse.
Automating the tracking of pallets to streamline operations was a significant objective that would ultimately decrease the percentage of mis-ships, ensure that the correct cargo is delivered to the appropriate containers, and ultimately reduce the number of errors that are representative of the existing manual processes.
The RFID tags and readers can be used to automate and expedite the receiving and tracking of material throughout expansive work sites and rigs.
Oil drilling companies are currently employing RFID to improve delivery and processing times and inventory accuracy and ensure rented equipment is returned promptly, reducing excess charges.
The RFID technology can also be utilized to monitor the status of valuable equipment in the field. RFID tags can provide data on a specific pipe’s ID number, age, length, and usage.
From exploration and production to drilling and refining, RFID can help companies streamline business processes to better protect the health of the business by:
- Increasing employee efficiency
- Increasing the automation of product movement and supply
- Ensuring optimal use of all assets
- Reducing inventory carrying costs
- Protecting against unplanned downtime
- Ensuring cost-effective regulatory compliance
- Improving employee safety
Implementation of an RFID system can help manage all assets being provided, inspected, and maintained.
The tags transmit live information to an asset management system, providing regular location alerts and notifications in case something goes wrong.
They can be used to maintain pipelines and other equipment exposed to harsh environments by measuring joint pressure, indicating proper assembly, and identifying oil leakage. They can even be used to schedule maintenance, which can involve numerous processes, including shutting down entire sections and disconnecting pipes.
Ther SmartX HUB RFID technology is helping improve the safety and security of oil refineries and drilling sites by facilitating safe fueling, offering fleet-management solutions, and maintaining accurate records, updated in real-time.
