Abstract
Innovation and new technologies come hand by hand in the Oil and Gas industry adding value and improving processes and safety at the same time reducing costs. This paper presents how the improvement of wireless connectivity in offshore platforms has been supporting critical mission activities, deployment of IIoT devices and field workers mobility.
Wireless networks were expanded in industrial environments enabling a wide variety of new services. Meanwhile, the most impacted operational processes were selected where disruptive technologies could generate more value, such as maintenance and inspection processes. After this, we evolved each insight through the Technology Readiness Level steps; beginning with the Proofs of Concept for decision making until we could scale it up and measure its benefits. Explosion-proof devices were used to provide mobile connectivity to robots and IIoT devices. Augmented reality glasses running remote and guided assistance software, increased collaboration, adding more expertise and knowledge to operational activities at Campos basis.
