Global demand for cheap, reliable energy, in every form, is on the rise. To meet demand, early adopters in oil & gas and power generation, are digitally transforming their complex asset ecosystems, especially in light of recent studies showing upwards of $1.6 trillion in potential revenue for the taking. Leveraging information unlocked by the IoT at the edge of your ecosystem streamlines global deployments, improves profitability, and offers highly responsive next-gen services designed around customers, stakeholders, and markets.
AssetLink delivers intelligence from the edge. Our IoT sensor interfaces integrate effortlessly with fixed and mobile equipment assets across the entire energy value chain, from surveying, extraction, processing, through distribution. We make it easy to monitor, manage, and monetize distributed networks of high value equipment.
IoT in Oil & Gas
The AssetPack is a highly versatile equipment tracking and sensor monitoring solution, designed for frequent two-way communication with unpowered assets. AssetPack sensor interfaces provide operation managers the information and control they need to proactively manage a complex infrastructure of high value equipment assets across large areas. Available in satellite, cellular, or hybrid options, the solution is fully self-contained, waterproof, dustproof, ruggedized for use on land or in marine environments.
In addition to providing GPS track & trace, the solution can be easily configured to monitor a wide range metrics via on-board sensor agnostic analog and digital inputs. This makes monitoring static or rotating equipment — such as valves, liquid tanks, artificial lift, compressors, turbines, and pumps — simple and intuitive. The solution also supports seamless cellular and satellite connectivity so that you can easily change reporting behavior or manage remote machinery over the air.
Whether adopting the latest in predictive maintenance technologies, tracking the location of tracking assets, or proactively monitoring your operating environment tank levels, AssetLink offers the real world solutions for today’s challenges while aligning your operations for the energy demands of tomorrow.
