Analysis on the application of RFID technology in the visualization management of Middle East oil

Application background

As one of the world's largest oil producing areas, the Middle East faces challenges in supply chain complexity and scale expansion in oilfield material management. With the increase in the types and quantities of materials, traditional management methods can no longer meet the needs. Therefore, the use of advanced Internet of Things technologies, such as RFID, has become an important means to solve the problem of visual management of oil in the Middle East.

Difficulties in oil management

Complexity of material supply management: Oilfield material management in the Middle East involves multiple departments and industries, including material demand, procurement and supply, and Asset MANAGEMENT. Traditional management methods cannot achieve all-round inheritance and sharing of information, resulting in low management efficiency.

Difficulties in material life cycle management: The full life cycle management of oilfield materials includes demand planning, procurement, distribution, consumption and recycling. Traditional management methods cannot achieve full-process dynamic control and supply guarantee capabilities.

Low efficiency of inspection work: Oil pipeline inspection work relies on manual filling of inspection results, which is prone to omissions or errors. The differences in manual inspectors will also affect the quality of inspection work.

Traditional oil materials are numerous and difficult to manage

Solution

Build a comprehensive material management system: Build a multi-level, real-time, visual, and standardized comprehensive material management system for the entire oil field. By establishing a unified material management platform, the demand planning, procurement, distribution, consumption, and recycling of materials are included in unified management, realizing the full inheritance and sharing of material supply information, cross-departmental, cross-industry, and cross-regional applications, and improving the efficiency and accuracy of material management.

Strengthen inspection management capabilities: Use RFID handheld terminals with background data processing systems to timely record and manage inspection information for oil pipelines. RFID electronic tags can be attached to oil pipelines. Each RFID electronic tag has a global unique identification position to prevent forgery and cheating. Through intelligent management methods, intelligent setting of inspection routes and query of inspection information can be realized, improving the efficiency and quality of inspection work.

Build an information platform: Establish a powerful information platform to achieve integrated material management. Through the information platform, rapid response to material demand and improvement of supply guarantee capabilities can be achieved. At the same time, the oilfield material reserve management system can be improved to enhance supply guarantee efficiency.

Solution composition

RFID tag: In the oil visualization management, RFID electronic tags will be attached to each material or equipment, including oil pipelines, oil tanks, Tools, etc. Each RFID tag has a globally unique identification bit, which can be used to identify and track the information of materials or equipment.

RFID electronic lock tag

RFID Reader: RFID reader is installed in key locations, such as oil field entrance, exit, warehouse, etc. When materials or equipment pass through the location of the reader, the reader will communicate with the RFID tag wirelessly to read or write the information on the tag. Through the RFID reader, real-time monitoring and tracking of materials or equipment can be achieved.

RFID handheld terminal: RFID handheld terminal is used for on-site inspection and material inventory. Inspectors use handheld terminals to scan RFID tags in oil fields, read the information on the tags, and transmit the data to the background system for processing and analysis. Through the RFID handheld terminal, real-time recording and management of materials or equipment can be achieved.

RFID handheld terminal

RFID Access Control system: RFID access control system is used to restrict unauthorized personnel from entering oil facilities and sensitive areas. RFID tags are bound to employees' ID Cards or work permits. When employees approach the access control reader, the system reads the information on the RFID tag and determines whether they have permission to enter a specific area.

RFID repeater: RFID repeaters are used to expand the coverage of RFID systems, especially in some complex environments, such as large warehouses, long-distance pipelines, etc. By placing RFID repeaters, RFID signals can be amplified and transmitted to a longer distance, improving the stability and reliability of the RFID system.

Benefits of solution application

Improve material management efficiency: Through the application of RFID technology and information platform, all-round inheritance and sharing of material information can be achieved, and the efficiency and accuracy of material management can be improved. Oil companies can better grasp the inventory, circulation and use of materials, and realize fine management of materials.

Strengthen inspection management capabilities: Adopt RFID technology and intelligent management methods to improve the efficiency and quality of inspection work and reduce the waste and loss of oil. Middle Eastern oil companies can monitor the inspection of oil pipelines in real time, find problems in time and take measures to improve the safety and reliability of pipelines.

Optimize supply chain management: By establishing a comprehensive material management system and strengthening inspection management capabilities, optimizing supply chain management, and improving the timeliness and accuracy of material supply, Middle Eastern oil companies can better coordinate all links of the supply chain and improve material supply capabilities and response speed.

Improve the level of oil business management: Reduce logistics distribution costs, simplify work processes, and achieve accurate data management and decision support. Middle Eastern oil companies can improve their oil business management level and improve their competitiveness and profitability.
