A rugged 5G IP67 IoT gateway solution for offshore oil platforms, supporting BeiDou RTK positioning, edge analytics, and reliable remote monitoring.
Contexte
Offshore oil platforms operate in some of the harshest environments on earth. Exposed to salt spray, high humidity, strong winds, and continuous vibration, offshore facilities require highly reliable, weatherproof, and intelligent monitoring systems to ensure safe and efficient production.
As offshore oil and gas operations move toward digitalization, unmanned operation, and centralized management, traditional wired networks and manual inspections are no longer sufficient. Operators need real-time visibility into equipment status, structural conditions, and environmental parameters — even hundreds of kilometers offshore.
By combining 5G connectivity, IP67 industrial protection, edge data processing, and BeiDou high-precision positioning, offshore oil platforms can achieve continuous monitoring, precise positioning, and intelligent decision support, significantly improving operational safety and efficiency.
Industry Pain Points
Offshore oil operations face several critical challenges:
- Harsh marine environment
Salt corrosion, humidity, and extreme weather quickly degrade conventional equipment. - Limited network coverage and reliability
Offshore locations often lack stable wired infrastructure. - High maintenance cost and safety risk
Manual inspections are costly, time-consuming, and dangerous. - Lack of precise positioning and time synchronization
Structural monitoring and equipment coordination require accurate positioning. - Fragmented data and delayed decision-making
Data collected on-site is not processed or analyzed in real time.
