Keep all routine inspections and maintenance up to date for the entire plant
Mobile and fixed reader infrastructure
Tagged assets can be located anywhere on the plant site by using a combination of
mobile and fixed reader infrastructure. Keep deployments cost low by using fixed
readers in high traffic areas and mobile readers to cover the rest of the plant
area. No matter where your tagged asset has moved in the plant area, SiteSense® will find it for you.
Rugged hazardous location certified tags
SiteSense® GPS tracking
tags have been designed and tested to withstand the harshest requirements in industrial
environments and shipping environments. They meet or exceed military specifications
for drop, vibration and environmental testing conditions. They have been fully certified
for operations in more than 50 countries as well as hazardous locations for the
oil and gas industry.
Easy to deploy and install
SiteSense® RFID reader
infrastructure can be setup quickly, and with solar power options and Wi-Fi or cellular
communications, installation and support costs are minimal. Mobile RFID readers
for personnel do not require any installation and can be used within a matter of
minutes to start locating assets anywhere in the plant area.
Alerts and notifications
Setup alerts and notifications to warn system users that shipments are in certain
areas.
Secure Web-based software
With SSL encrypted web-based software there’s no software to load onto desktop and
laptop computers. This helps keeps deployment and support costs low and allows for
secure access from anywhere there’s an Internet connection. SiteSense® Material Tracking and Global Shipment Tracking
can be accessed from within the same software, so there’s no need for multiple software
platforms to track RFID and GPS tags.
Reporting tools
Pivot table reports are available for download from the SiteSense® Website to allow for maximum versatility of reporting
on received materials, material positions, coverage reports and more.
Integration tools
SiteSense® data can
easily be integrated with other material management systems by using one of many
integration tools available from SiteSense®.
Know exactly what assets are overdue for maintenance
SiteSense® keeps track
of inspection cycle times for each asset and once an inspection or maintenance is
complete the maintenance date is reset. If a cycle date has passed, the asset will
show in the overdue maintenance report.
Know the location of all assets, even if they moved
The SiteSense® Mobile
reader infrastructure can cover all areas of the plant to read RFID tags, up to
300 feet from a reader. As a reader passes by each tag it updates the location of
the tagged asset.
Flexible reporting
Reports can be setup to show tagged asset positions, the date last maintained, the
date when maintenance is due and more. Reports can also be setup to show only those
items that have inspections coming due (for example in 2 weeks) or items that are
past due for inspection.
How do I attach the active RFID tag to the different types of materials?
Intelliwave has a complete guide on how to attach SiteSense® RFID tags to different
types of materials. Ask Intelliwave for a sample of the tag attachment guide to
learn more.
Can I re-use the active RFID tag?
Yes, after the tag has been decommissioned from a tag assignment it can be re-used
multiple times for the life of the battery.
How long will the active RFID tag last?
For 2 second beacon rate settings the tag will last for 4 years at room temperature.
Intelliwave has tested the life of tags in northern Alberta over many years and
3 years is a typical life expectancy for cold weather climates. The active RFID
tags have battery monitors in them and the SiteSense® battery-life report will let
you know when RFID tags need to be replaced with new tags.
Can I put new batteries in the active RFID tags?
Unfortunately, no. Because the tags are sonically welded together during manufacturing,
the tag’s casing will be damaged if taken apart to get at the battery. How do you
provide accurate GPS positions for RFID tags? We’d love to tell you the details,
but this is company confidential!
