Industries

The Oil and Gas industry includes far-reaching enterprises from exploration to supply chain, including plant, equipment, tools, personnel, vehicles, machinery, documents and related items. Often it is critical to have ready access to these objects for the conduct of business, with any lapse in access to needed objects and the people that use these objects, potentially causing delays in product delivery and significant financial loses. In addition, critical data resides on company IT assets, which must be secured against information or IT equipment theft. Oil and gas companies own innumerable assets of a wide variety, from offices to plants to grounds and at sea, all requiring registry, accountability and periodic inspections and maintenance. In addition, a wide range of documents, from geologic studies of oil fields to personnel records, most of which contain sensitive and secret information. Human oversight of these objects and people, or the use of bar coding, have proven inadequate anecdotally. UHF and Active RFID technologies enable Oil and Gas companies to fundamentally improve processes, enhance customer service and increase profitability.
