Sensor Solutions for the Oil and Gas Industry

By on • ( Leave a comment )

At first glance, space and oil seem like two completely unrelated and divergent industries. However, these industries face many of the same goals and challenges. The oil & gas industry is constantly looking for ways to cost-effectively meet regulatory standards, improve safety and get more out of their production process and facilities. NASA does the same. They are also are both challenged with working in harsh, remote, and often unexplored environments. Advanced sensors are becoming increasingly more important in both industries. As the internet of things (IoT) continues to grow, new technologies are being developed every day by companies that want to stay competitive.

The Internet of Things (IoT) continues to penetrate the market, with an abundance of smart devices that are saturating networks. Among the evolution of smart devices, new technologies also have become available for transporting countless forms of information. Communications protocols, applications, and IP-enabled devices are using technologies such as Bluetooth, Zigbee, WiFi, small cells, in-building distributed antenna systems, wired LANs, AV sensors, and emerging Light Fidelity (LiFi) technology. It is important that the design and provisioning of the wired and wireless infrastructure be able to accommodate present and future systems and applications.

Building intelligence and sensor technology have been driving energy efficiency. On the horizon is a next level of intelligence based on capturing data about how occupants use a space and then applying that information for a wide variety of purposes: from tailoring services according to a room’s occupants to providing wayfinding to making recommendations about scheduling. Facility managers and owners will be able to use the data to adjust the way a building’s spaces are scheduled and used.
