SENTINEL CUSTOM SOLUTIONS
HIGH-VALUE ASSET TRACKING

Customer Need

To track (in real time) very expensive seismic cable sections on an oil and gas exploration vessel in a harsh and demanding environment such as the North Sea. Dynamic Cable RFID data should be merged with other cable parametric data coming from the mainframe (via Oracle 8i interfaces) and re-formatted for local, remote, and global access for the ultimate supply-chain visibility.
