RFID traceability in the Energy sector

Challenges in the Energy & FME sector

Safety

Non-compliance of equipment subject to regulations
Worksite security and personal protection

Operational efficiency

Optimizing flows of equipment and people (on and off site)
Availability of spare parts and tools

Logistics

Managing site equipment, waste removal
Distributing PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)

Foreign Material Exclusion

FME or “foreign material exclusion” is the risk of loose or foreign objects being present in installations, potentially giving rise to incidents within structures. To prevent any problems, proper preventions and solutions can be implemented. In at-risk sectors, such as the Energy sector, it is very important to know where equipment is at all times. However, day-to-day inventory management is carried out manually, and is often error-ridden and time-consuming, with no certainty that the information will be reliable.

Energy challenges

Keys restricted to authorized personnel

At power plants, keys to rooms and sources must only go to authorized staff, with a tamper-proof audit trail. The KeyCab electronic key cabinet locks each key in its slot, releases only the keys a user is authorized to take and alerts you if a key is overdue.
