McDermott International, Inc., a leading engineering, procurement, construction and installation company, recently completed a pilot project at one of its key fabrication facilities on Batam Island, Indonesia, utilizing RFID technology to help improve planning, work execution, progress reporting and materials management. The initiative focused on the entire work process for fabricating carbon steel spools from warehouse issue, fabrication, external laydown and final installation. The system enables personnel to generate customized RFID labels in-house that are not only weather-resistant but are also metal-friendly. The tagging process allows labels to be attached to metal, while still maintaining readability. Learn how the integrated system resolved labor-intensive problems of tracking materials, progress reports, report updates, status inquiries, and communication delays. What’s more, hear how the system supports scalability into other work processes and disciplines.
