RFID

Overview

Ruggedized RFID Tags are designed to withstand the harsh conditions in oil and gas operational environments to allow both onshore and offshore asset tracking during down-hole and sub-sea drilling operations.

Pioneering the oil and gas upstream industry, the Ruggedized RFID Tags can meet and exceed extreme pressures and temperatures typical experienced in oil and gas exploration environments. Operating where traditional marking and tracking systems such as barcode, hand stenciling and mechanical pinging fail, the tags are designed to last as long as your component/asset does.

The Ruggedized RFID Tags can help you track your drilling components, drilling tools, risers and all associated surface equipment. Easily attached to your operational assets, the Tags work with Merrick Systems’ Rig-Hand and/or CATS systems to help you know, in real time, your asset location, usage history and archival inspection information.

Merrick offers a wide variety of Ruggedized RFID Tags to accommodate your specific needs and operational environment. For unique engineering requirements, Merrick can develop custom-tailored Tags to meet your specifications. The automated process minimizes data entry delays and errors, increasing the accuracy and reliability of your information and your ability to address issues as they occur. Easy to install, Ruggedized RFID Tags are guarantee to cut your operational costs, maintenance cost, and downtime.
