Keywords: KEPServerEX, OPC Connectivity Suite, ODBC Client Driver,Oil & Gas
Failsafe Controls'customer generated an RFP with very specific requirements for the envisioned system. They wanted an integrated SCADA system that would continuously collect data from each well, create timely and accurate electronic reports, and store current and historical data that could be accessed from the field or anywhere via a standard web browser. The system would monitor flow for all 1,800 wellsites and seamlessly integrate into the existing communications infrastructure. With Failsafe's help, the company estimated that even if they purchased the devices and equipment that was originally supplied by the outsourced service company, they would still realize significant savings and a relatively quick ROI. The customer calculated that their field supervisors and engineers would be able to more efficiently coordinate field activities and determine where manpower would be best allocated. Additionally, management would gain better and faster information to manage oil and gas fields. They would also be able to track aggregate production over time and be better guided when making major investment decisions.

While Faurecia has a long track record of providing its customers with exemplary products, the increasing need to provide customers traceability for the parts it was producing motivated the company to further support these efforts. The large automotive OEMs expected Faurecia to be able to both track the process of operations and production and to make that information available on demand. For example, customers wanted to know which airbags were added to which cars, as well as detailed data characteristics about how each airbag was installed, including torque and angle of installation.
