Aramco NAPD Scraper Detection System

Northern Area Pipeline Department (NAPD) is responsible for the maintenance of the pipelines from Dhahran Bulk Plant going to the North side of the Kingdom. Scrapping is one of the activities that are performed regularly on the pipes. Datastar has provided a scraper detection using Globalwave and state of the art sensors to provide passage detection as scraping activities are perform. Embedded in the solution are expected times of passage per detection area and expected time of arrival of the scrapping device to the receiving end. During the actual scrapping activity, the progress status is shown in the application thus providing better visibility on the activity and improving work process in the field saving time and resources.
