/EINPresswire.com/ The Pipe Tracker tags provide automatic identification for tough to track assets in the oil & gas environment such as flow iron, tubulars, joints, pressure control equipment.
Holland 1916 is rolling out its latest rugged RFID tag solution, Pipe Tracker, for use in extremely harsh oil and gas field applications. For the past six months, customers have piloted the reusable Pipe Tracker for well completion, frac operations as well as pipe transportation. The Pipe Tracker provides a way of automatically identifying that the correct item is loaded for transport, enables workers immediate assets to inspection records, monitors check in and check out actions, and vastly improves efficiencies in maintenance operations.
“For seven years our oil and gas customer had tried to use RFID to identify pipes” said Jim Stradinger, EVP of Sales. “While other vendors have created banded tags, the Pipe Tracker tag was suited best for the wear and tear of the pilot testing. In addition, the return on investment for our client was four times faster since the Pipe Tracker is reusable.”
The innovative stainless steel design of the Pipe Tracker allows the rugged RFID tag to meet IP69 IK-10 standards and survive the harshest oil and gas applications. The customer has the option of having Xerafy’s Pico-iN or Nano-iN UHF transponders embedded into the Pipe Tracker. The customer can also choose custom options for attachment such as a slot for steel band attachment or a hole for steel cable attachment. When the tag is to be repurposed to another asset, the attachment mechanism is simply cut and the tag can be reapplied. Holland1916 provides custom branding, human readable markings, multiple attachment types, and encoding.
