Remote Monitoring: A Blessing to the Oil Industry

How GPS Tracking Can Take Oil industry to the Next Level?

Among the various industries that yield revenue, the oil industry is one of the most important ones. This statement is evident from the fact that out of the top ten revenue companies, six are the oil industry. It is also noteworthy that more than four billion metric tons of oil is produced all around the globe annually. Oil and its related products like gas occupy the top position among the largest corporations globally. Such important is the oil and its products, and there is a definite need to take care that nothing goes waste.

Oil production is done in quite remote places and is being transported to refineries and then the refined oil is then transported to the workplaces. This oil transportation involves a lot of logistics and technical difficulties. For oil industry, the main issue would be transportation, as the oil production, its refining and its usage are at different places. Transportation is not a problem actually, but it is the issues raising during the transportation is the problems. These issues may include oil spills and accidents. These issues is effecting not only economically, but also it effect environmentally. Keeping in view of all these problems, a new technology came into light, which is the GPS tracking solutions and enterprise mobile app development. Let us look into the role of GPS tracking in Oil industry.

Role of GPS Tracking Solutions

• Oil Equipment tracking remotely

The feature of operating the things remotely serves very useful in oil industry. This is very important because, oil is very volatile and if humans are directly involved in the operation of oil production, there are so many chances that it is harmful to them. In order to all these things, technology is giving the best answer. Using high-end GPS solutions, one can perform various activities like monitoring fluid flow rate, tank levels, operation temperature and like such things remotely. This gives a perfect substitution for the human presence.

The pressure on a pipe-line carrying the refined petroleum product can also be measured using the remote monitoring solutions. And its control is handy, if at all you find pressure is going high, it can be optimized handy.

• Fuel Transport monitoring for fleets

Once the oil is processed, it has to be transported which involves fleets. As, they are very distantly placed it will take time to reach the destinations. In earlier days, there was no way to track the transportation and the status of it. But, all thanks to the modern technology which is helping in tracking each step in transportation. All the details like where the vehicle is exactly located and where it is heading towards, and like such data can be easily tracked using GPS tracking. This is help a lot in ensuring the safe transportation of the oil and its products to the destinations.

It is not exaggerating to say that the fleet tracking system is just amazing and allows to have a continuous check at oil carrying vehicle.

• Helps in navigating Drivers

GPS systems helps in selecting the safe path and scheduling the transportations to ensure safe and timely transportation. With the help of this GPS system one can keep a continuous eye on the path in which the driver is taking and he is following the prescribed schedule or not.

In any case, if the driver is off the path, then immediately they are notified. And the immediate respective action is taken in order to help the driver.

• Helps in keeping a eye on Driving habits

When it comes to the matter of transportation of heavy vehicles carrying sensitive items like oil, driving need to be done with utmost care. If anything goes wrong, there are so many chances that accidents may happen. In order to avoid such, it is highly recommended to use GPS navigation which helps in tracking the driving pattern of the vehicle, how they are using the accelerators, how they are applying the brakes and such. Based on that, a graph is being developed which helps to see the working in real-time, their mode of operations and the standards which they are following. If there is anything going out of scheduled, it will be notified.

• Role of GPS in making Zero Accidents

The role played by GPS in tracking the fleets is just amazing. One can monitor the transportation remotely. This helps in knowing about the status of the transportation, guiding the driver, in case of any help. Yet, it is an management tools, the chances of cutting down the accident number can be lowered to a greater extent. But, anything can happen at any time. Even after taking utmost care, one cannot expect to be cent percent perfect. But, all the efforts are being put for zero accident rate

This is mainly because it is a long way of transportation and anything might happen at any place, the best which we can do is keep a eye by monitoring the process if it happening right, and if anything goes wrong, immediate it will be notified and rescue team can perform its action.
