REMOTE ENTERPRISES
In remote locations, where no terrestrial infrastructure is available, operational visibility and reliable connectivity are game changers that empower businesses to quickly assess risks, optimise processes, and ensure the safety of field workers. Besides monitoring the real-time status of fixed and mobile assets in the mining, oil & gas, and forestry sectors, it has become critical to maintain accurate metrics over the entire infrastructure from the remote exploration and/or extraction site to distribution network. Not only does this improve efficiency, maintain productivity, and reduce costs for the business, it also ensures worker welfare and adherence to regulatory requirements. Dedicated satcom connectivity transforms the way that assets can be automated in the entire mining cycle, delivers key metrics such as speed and fuel consumption in the oil & gas framework, enables the monitoring of vehicle telemetry data from onsite trucks in a forest, and much more. Traksat’s bespoke solutions for remote industries provide low-cost real-time support for M2M applications, scalable smart metering, and environmental data reporting while minimising potential downtime.
Core Competencies
Remote Connectivity
Link remote telemetry devices such as Remote Telemetry Units (RTU), Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), and other remote sensors with base Human-Machine Interface (HMI) control computers. Traksat delivers both regional and global coverage options for oil and gas wells, pipelines, pumping stations, remote seismographs, and more. Moreover, its simple design enables integration with existing legacy systems and supports most protocols (TCP/IP & asynchronous).
Standard and Bespoke Protocols
Employ your own business software to collect and analyse asset data from mixed equipment. Traksat’s middleware solutions leverage current data and ease interfacing with a ready-made protocol that has been developed in various formats for use over multiple web service connections. Traksat also offers integrated industry standards such as MultiSpeak, the most widely applied de facto standard in North America for distribution utilities as well as vertically integrated utilities.
Lone Worker Protection
Track individual GPS locations and receive SOS distress calls from field members. Traksat’s GPS tracking and PTT suite features a personal tracker and SOS button on a small device that operates over satellite networks, making it ideal for safety in remote locations even if there is no cellular or radio coverage.
Use Cases
Mining: Real-time Updates
Enable smart decision-making and ensure transparency in the entire mining lifecycle with Traksat’s real-time updates. Gain greater insights into analytics, speed up the exploration process, and keep in constant contact with field workers.
Oil & Gas: Alerts & Corrective Action
Accurately identify the problem area with alerts for flow rate, changes in pressure, corrosion, and level of product in the pipeline. Prevent damage with Traksat’s meters, sensors, and set-up for data collection and initiating corrective action, sending a pre-defined message to a central office.
Forestry: Theft Recovery & Automatic Reporting
Receive alerts when a vehicle enters or leaves a pre-defined space such as a wood chopping site. Monitor irregular vehicle behaviour over a motion sensor with advanced theft-alert tracking and a custom tracking profile. Instantly receive text or email to follow assets on a map.
Fleet Management: IoT-enabled Tracking
Gain real-time visibility over your fleet with IoT solutions for remote monitoring, several modes for GPS tracking, and smart configuration of reporting intervals. Traksat supports input reports of engine run times and time-out alerts by hours or days.
Personal Security: Specialised Sensors & Distress Call Services
Protect field workers with specialised body-worn trackers, optimised with a SOS button feature for distress calls, operating over a satellite network. Traksat’s rugged pocket-sized devices are perfect for GPS tracking even if there is no mobile network coverage.
