Line-Of-Sight: Why GPS alone does not work Native to most complex oil field facilities is poor GPS quality. Metallic structure often obstruct the GPS satellite constellations to a degree where either there is no signal lock or the signal lock is limited to satellite geometries that are too dense for accurate location resolution.

Clear Line Of Sight
Multipathing / Attenuation : Why RFID Technology Selection is Important?
.
Fluctuating GPS GPS signal within a dense metallic environment will experience fluctuating DOP values over short periods of time and/or short movement intervals. Primarily due to multipath fading
At a Glace: Line-of-Sight/ Multipathing / Attenuation
Low Lying Dense Pipe Trays These trays provide line-of-sight obstruction to GPS signals. Unlikely elevated pipe trays that can still enable low-elevation satellite locks. These low-lying trays are challenging obstruction for GPS signals.

What does the Solution Do: System Components The technology is tailored to operate in the oil-field.
Tags/Badges have embedded sensor(s) to automatically detect falls, and panic push buttons for personnel. Tags/Badges certified to safely operate in flammable environments Readers certified to safely operate in flammable environments Software designed to address use-case(s) demanded of in oil-field
This is not something a Phone, GPS tracking device, or a Google Map software can do.

Incident Investigation
What does the Solution Do: Sample Use-Cases
.
Identifying Emergency Conditions
Performing Mustering Headcounts
What does the Solution Do: System Benefits The system will provide accurate and prompt location of personnel across
the facility along with additional telemetry/sensor information. This information can then be used, for example, to automatically provide headcounts during mustering and evacuation, assist in search and rescue, alert supervisors when certain violations have taken place.
.
What does the Solution Do: How it Works Some systems will operate seamlessly between GPS and Active RTLS
location resolution depending if it has a good GPS signal lock or not. This hybrid solution allows us to minimize ‘Active RTLS’ hardware to only
those locations that need it, otherwise when in the open field GPS will suffice.
The location will be calculated and provided to the software engine that will then process it against a variety of business rules (our use cases).

There is a critical need to define Hydraulic Fracturing specific requirements for RFID equipment. The goal of these standards is not to re-invent the “wheel”. These additions do not conflict with existing ISO or EPC standards but append them with critical specifications that are necessary for Hydraulic Fracturing. An RFID tag is composed of several distinguishable components that require special attention . These components include:
Integrated Circuit (IC) Bonding of IC to Antenna The Antenna Encasement (Form Factor) Attachment

Impact Corrosion Vibration Metallic Reflection Ease-of-Use Readability
