Our cost-effective IoT solutions are customized to address client pain points and the nuances of their industry.
Chemical Tank Monitoring
Objective: To lower operating costs and maximize operator efficiency using remote monitoring technology.
Challenge: Account managers were driving site-to-site to manually measure chemical levels with a dip stick. The solution needed to be multifunctional, monitoring level, inferring the injection rates, Days-To-Empty, and Tank Uledge to maximize deliveries and to stay on top of their chemical programs.
Solution: R3 mounted sensors on existing lines/ports to calculate the volume in the tanks. The self-powered units have a battery life of up to 15 years and are certified for C1D1 environments.
The tank data is now transmitted by cellular or satellite technology to a secure website, which can be accessed via laptop or mobile device by authorized users.
Pipeline Wear Detection
Objective: To optimize maintenance scheduling by using R3 technology to detect wear patterns in the pipe lining.
Challenge: To prevent pipe corrosion, the client was taking an educated guess and turning their pipe four times a year. They were looking for a portable and non-intrusive solution to help them be more efficient in pipeline wear detection.
Solution: R3 installed surface temperature sensors to detect the heat differential in the composite lining and corresponding steel.
These sensors enable users to determine where the wear patterns are and when specifically to turn the pipe, improving both predictive and preventative maintenance.
