News: Rotherham's S3-ID launch new location system

Rotherham company, S3-ID has joined with Cambridge company, Ubisense to launch a unique product for the oil and gas industry. The integrated Location Awareness and Muster system is based on a combined precise real-time locating system and Active RFID tags and joins S3-ID's patented approach to personnel location and mustering used on many offshore oil and gas complexes with Ubisense's world leading precise real-time location system used in many industrial complexes. The combined product will allow companies working in hazardous environments to continually monitor wherever their staff maybe. In the event of an incident, continuous monitoring decreases the time to identify the location of all personnel. "The features of the new product were put together following a combined 25 year pedigree in the deployment of systems to many oil companies like BP, Statoil Hydro, BHP Billiton and Nexen" says Eivind Fredriksen, Managing Director of S3-ID, "this will revolutionise personnel safety on offshore and on-shore installations. Never before has this level of integration been achieved in such complex and harsh environments as encountered in the offshore industry."
