In the oil and gas industry, the working environment is complex and fraught with risks. From remote drilling platforms and large-scale refineries to long-distance pipeline transportation and underground mining operations, employees are constantly exposed to potential safety hazards. To enhance operational safety, optimize work processes, and strengthen employee health management, the customized smart watch/bracelet service has emerged as an exclusive intelligent safety and management assistant for oil and gas companies.
I. Customization of Safety Assurance Functions
Explosion-Proof Design: The oil and gas industry is filled with flammable and explosive gases and liquids. Therefore, the customized smart watches/bracelets must first feature explosion-proof properties. The products are designed and manufactured in strict compliance with international authoritative explosion-proof certification standards such as ATEX/IECEx. Special explosion-proof materials and sealing technologies are adopted to ensure stable operation in environments with potential explosion risks, fundamentally eliminating the risk of explosions caused by equipment and providing reliable protection for employees working in hazardous areas.
Gas Detection Function: Equipped with high-precision gas sensors, it can real-time detect the concentrations of flammable gases (e.g., methane, ethane) and toxic and harmful gases (e.g., hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide) in the working environment. Once the gas concentration exceeds the safety threshold, the watch/bracelet immediately issues multiple alarms (sound, light, and vibration) to remind employees to evacuate the hazardous area promptly. At the same time, the alarm information and real-time location are synchronously transmitted to the management platform, enabling the enterprise to quickly respond to emergencies and effectively prevent safety accidents caused by gas leaks.
Fall Detection and Emergency SOS: In oil and gas operation sites, employees may accidentally fall and get injured due to complex terrain, equipment failures, or other factors. The smart watch/bracelet is equipped with advanced accelerometers and gyroscope sensors, which can accurately identify fall movements through intelligent algorithms. When a fall is detected, it automatically sends a distress signal to pre-set emergency contacts or the emergency command center, along with the employee’s location information. In addition, when employees encounter emergencies, they can also manually press the SOS button to trigger the distress process, ensuring that rescue can be obtained in the first place at critical moments.
II. Environmental and Health Monitoring Functions
Environmental Parameter Monitoring: Integrated with multiple environmental sensors for temperature, humidity, air pressure, etc., it can real-time monitor various parameters of the working environment. For special operating scenarios with high temperature and high pressure, once the environmental parameters exceed the appropriate range, the watch/bracelet immediately issues an early warning to help employees take protective measures in advance and prevent physical discomfort or equipment failures caused by harsh environments. For example, in oil extraction operations in desert areas, it can promptly remind employees to replenish water and prevent heatstroke during high-temperature periods; on offshore drilling platforms, it can monitor changes in air pressure to provide data support for severe weather early warnings.
Real-Time Health Status Monitoring: The oil and gas industry involves high work intensity, which has a significant impact on employees’ physical health. The customized smart watch/bracelet is equipped with medical-grade health monitoring sensors, which can real-time monitor employees’ physiological indicators such as heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, blood pressure, and body temperature. Through continuous data tracking and analysis, once abnormal physical indicators of employees are detected (e.g., rapid heart rate, low blood oxygen), it immediately issues a health warning to remind employees to rest and adjust. Meanwhile, the health data is synchronously fed back to the enterprise’s medical room or safety management department, providing protection for employees’ occupational health. The long-term accumulation of health data can also be used for the enterprise’s occupational disease prevention planning and employee health assessment.
III. Customization of Work Collaboration and Management Functions
Positioning and Track Tracking: Equipped with a high-precision dual-mode positioning system (GPS and Beidou), it can accurately locate employees’ positions whether in remote field oilfields or vast offshore natural gas extraction areas. Enterprises can real-time view the distribution of employees through the management platform, enabling efficient personnel scheduling and task assignment. At the same time, the watch/bracelet automatically records employees’ movement tracks, facilitating the traceability of event processes in case of accidents and optimizing operational processes and safety management strategies.
Work Task Reminders and Process Guidance: Connected to the enterprise’s project management system, it accurately pushes daily work tasks, inspection plans, and other information to employees’ smart watches/bracelets. Employees can view task details at any time, including work content, execution location, and time requirements, and go to the operation site according to the navigation guidance provided by the watch/bracelet. During the task execution process, the system can also provide step-by-step reminders based on the pre-set process to ensure accurate and efficient completion of work and reduce human errors.
Communication and Information Sharing: Supporting 4G/5G communication modules or adapting to the enterprise’s internal communication networks (e.g., Wi-Fi, LoRa), employees can make voice calls and send/receive text messages through the watch/bracelet at the operation site to maintain real-time communication with team members. At the same time, they can receive important notifications, safety announcements, equipment failure information, etc., released by the enterprise, timely understanding work dynamics and safety precautions, improving the efficiency of information transmission, and ensuring smooth work collaboration.
IV. Durability and Adaptability Design
Robust and Durable Casing: The casing of the watch/bracelet is made of high-strength and wear-resistant materials, such as specially treated titanium alloy and high-strength engineering plastics, which have excellent impact resistance and scratch resistance. Meanwhile, the product has passed strict waterproof and dustproof tests, reaching an IP68 protection level, which can resist rainwater and dust erosion. It can operate stably even in harsh outdoor environments or humid operation areas, adapting to the complex and changeable working conditions of the oil and gas industry.
Long Battery Life: The oil and gas industry involves long working hours, and charging is inconvenient in some areas. Therefore, the customized smart watch/bracelet is equipped with a large-capacity and high-performance battery. By optimizing the power management system to reduce power consumption, it achieves ultra-long battery life. A full charge can meet the normal use needs of employees for several days, ensuring that the equipment does not power off during long-term operations, continuously performing various functions, and guaranteeing the continuity of work safety and management.
