BP starts RFID Sensor Network trials at UK Plant
BP has started the purposed RFID sensor network tests at its U.K Plant. The company expects the RFID trail will enhance its chemical inventory, raise stock visibility and strengthen safe-handling business rules at a petrochemical plant in England.
Mike Haley, a consultant in the chief technology office of BP's digital technology group comments on the pilot,
This is the first industrial trial of new RFID tags. Each node in the network will work collaboratively, potentially transforming business processes and creating a step change in safety and operational integrity.
The major energy company of the world, BP will be conducting the trial for six months now onwards implementing active RFID tags on its 20 to 40 chemical containers stored at its petrochemical plant in Hull.
