In the oil and gas industry, downtime isn’t just costly—it’s dangerous. Every minute of unplanned equipment failure or non-compliance can impact production, safety, and profitability. Whether you’re managing upstream drilling rigs, midstream pipelines, or downstream refining units, operational visibility and reliability are critical.
PlantOps360 delivers a comprehensive maintenance and asset intelligence platform built to meet the complex needs of the oil and gas ecosystem. From predictive maintenance and field mobility to IoT-driven monitoring and SAP integration, it unifies your maintenance operations under one secure, data-driven system.
Challenges in Oil & Gas Asset Management
High Equipment Downtime Costs
A single compressor or pump failure can halt production and result in millions in losses. Legacy maintenance systems often rely on manual scheduling and delayed reporting.
Hazardous Environment Constraints
Field technicians working in remote or offshore areas face limited connectivity and require reliable offline mobile tools for safety-critical maintenance execution.
Fragmented Data Across Systems
Maintenance data is often scattered across ERP, SCADA, and asset tracking platforms—making root-cause analysis difficult.
Strict Regulatory Compliance
Operators must comply with ISO 55000, API standards, and environmental safety audits. Missing inspection logs or incomplete safety certifications can trigger penalties.
Aging Infrastructure
Many oil rigs, refineries, and pipelines operate with aging equipment. Without condition-based monitoring, unplanned failures increase exponentially.
How PlantOps360 Empowers Oil & Gas Operations
PlantOps360 brings together the full spectrum of asset, maintenance, and field service management under one platform—backed by AI, IoT, and real-time analytics.
Integrated IoT sensors monitor vibration, pressure, and temperature across pumps, valves, compressors, and turbines. AI algorithms predict component wear and automatically schedule work orders—reducing breakdowns by up to 35%.
Maintenance and asset data sync seamlessly with SAP S/4HANA or Oracle E-Business Suite, giving finance and operations teams a single source of truth for cost tracking and asset lifecycle management.
Technicians in remote rigs or offshore platforms can execute tasks, log readings, and capture digital signatures on Zebra rugged tablets—even without internet connectivity.
Every inspection, calibration, and safety test is time-stamped, geotagged, and stored securely, enabling instant retrieval during audits and ensuring 100% traceability.
Supervisors gain a live view of equipment health, open work orders, mean time between failures (MTBF), and technician productivity across multiple sites.
Use Cases in Oil & Gas Maintenance
Compressor Predictive Maintenance
IoT sensors continuously monitor pressure and vibration patterns in compressors. When anomalies exceed defined thresholds, PlantOps360 automatically creates a high-priority maintenance work order, preventing unplanned shutdowns and reducing downtime by 30–40%.
Pipeline Integrity Monitoring
Integrating with IoT pressure transmitters and leak-detection systems, PlantOps360 tracks pipeline performance and triggers alerts for early corrosion or leak risks. Reports are shared with safety teams in real time to prevent environmental incidents.
Drilling Rig Maintenance Scheduling
With hundreds of rotating assets, drilling rigs rely on strict maintenance cycles. PlantOps360 automates these schedules based on runtime hours, vibration trends, or API-based compliance intervals—ensuring zero missed inspections.
Tank Farm Asset Management
Tank levels, valve operations, and flow meters are monitored continuously. PlantOps360 integrates with SCADA systems to sync data and provide maintenance triggers when abnormal temperature or pressure trends are detected.
Environmental & Safety Compliance Automation
Safety inspections for flare stacks, gas detectors, and emergency shutdown systems are logged digitally. Each safety task is linked to equipment IDs and inspection photos, ensuring effortless proof of compliance for regulators.
Technical Capabilities
1. IoT & Sensor Integration
PlantOps360 connects directly with existing SCADA, PLC, and IoT gateways to collect equipment telemetry. This data feeds into machine learning models that predict failure probabilities and recommend optimal maintenance intervals.
2. Advanced Analytics & Reporting
Through Power BI integration, managers can visualize downtime trends, MTBF, energy usage, and maintenance costs in real time. KPI dashboards support smarter, data-driven budgeting.
3. Mobile-First Maintenance Execution
Zebra-enabled mobility allows technicians to scan RFID or QR codes, pull up asset history, and log readings directly from the field—cutting paperwork by 80% and improving first-time fix rates.
4. Work Order & Permit-to-Work Automation
PlantOps360 automates the full workflow—from permit creation to task completion—ensuring that only authorized and trained personnel perform maintenance in hazardous zones.
5. Integration with ERP & EAM Systems
Native APIs connect with SAP PM, Oracle Fusion, and IBM Maximo, ensuring seamless data exchange and eliminating duplicate data entry between maintenance and finance systems.
