Keep IT Mobile Implementing NFC Technology in Oil & Gas

Keep IT Mobile (KIM), a 100% Romanian company, established in 2012 by Vicentiu Corbu, in 2015 launched the first global demonstration of the NFC (Near Field Communication) technology applied in the oil & gas sector. It was implemented subsequently within a refinery in Romania.

The company has now introduced a management system for firefighting equipment in a refinery, in collaboration with another company, the solution being named Field Maintenance System. Its aim is to register interventions made at the existing firefighting equipment in the field, with the help of mobile technologies.

First, the firefighting equipment is identified, then an NFC tag is placed on this equipment, the association of information necessary for the system taking place: extinguisher type, expiration date, location, and responsible person.
