RFID applications for the oil and gas sector!
Date Published
The Oil and Gas sector operates in some of the most challenging environments on the planet. From offshore drilling to refining and distribution, total asset visibility is not just a matter of efficiency, it's a matter of safety and compliance.
ACURA, part of HID and a leader in RFID technology in Brazil, offers robust applications designed to withstand extreme conditions, ensuring that critical equipment, pipelines, and drilling tools are monitored in real time.
Our Highlights: The New Generation EDGE
To meet the specific demands of critical infrastructures, we present the high-performance EDGE-35 and EDGE-55 readers, designed to raise the standard of automation in the energy sector.
EDGE-35: Compact Technology, Maximum Performance
The EDGE-35 is the ideal application for reading points where space is limited, but accuracy is non-negotiable.
Robust and Compact Design: Perfect for integration into panels, maintenance machines, or personnel and small tool access control points.
Fast Reading: Optimized to identify multiple assets simultaneously, reducing inventory time in parts warehouses.
Easy Integration: Versatile protocols that allow direct connection to existing plant management systems (ERP/MES).
EDGE-55: More Power, More Range, More Control
When the operation demands wide coverage and long-distance reading, the EDGE-55 is the ultimate choice.
Industrial Power: Developed for outdoor environments and large storage yards for pipes and tanks.
Maximum UHF Performance: Capable of reading tags on large metallic assets with superior accuracy, even in high-interference zones.
Advanced Connectivity: Supports complex network architectures, ensuring data reaches the control center without latency.
Practical Applications in the Oil and Gas Cycle
1. Asset and Tool Management (Upstream)
Monitor the location and usage history of drill bits, risers, and drilling tools. With EDGE readers, you automate equipment check-in/check-out, preventing losses and ensuring that preventive maintenance is performed on time.
2. Pipeline and Hose Traceability
Identify each pipe segment individually. Our applications allow for the automatic recording of integrity inspections, weld history, and supported pressures, creating a "digital ID" for each component of the line.
3. Logistics and Supply Chain (Midstream)
Optimize the loading of tank trucks and railcars. The EDGE-55 allows for the automatic identification of vehicles and containers at terminal entry and exit, ensuring that the right product is in the correct vehicle, without manual errors.
4. Security and Access Control (Downstream)
Ensure that only authorized personnel access critical refining areas. Integrate the Edge 35 with turnstiles and doors for contactless, fast, and auditable access control, essential for evacuation plans and workplace safety.
