For many utilities, the lack of complete end-to-end process visibility is a common problem. From vast laydown yards in the oil and gas industry to the multiple geographies served by telephone and electric utilities, the ability to accurately track the location and availability of assets, along with maintaining maintenance records for compliance is a challenge. Omni-ID is helping companies meet this challenge through the use of in¬telligent auto-identification solutions powered by the industrial Internet of Things (IoT).

Omni-ID has been providing solutions and customizing products for customers in the utilities industry around the globe over the years. With a customer-centric focus, Omni-ID deploys field teams to work directly with a facility’s staff or integration vendor to custom design a solution that achieves their business goals—whether it is the need for asset tracking, improving workflow efficiency or a combination of both.

What sets Omni-ID apart in the enterprise asset management marketplace is the company’s ability to provide customers with a full service solution that includes both hardware and a thin software client software. It can be simply integrated with a utility’s existing systems, eliminating downtime during integration and providing with an economical solution that can easily scale with their business require-ments.

“Tracking drilling pipes from on shore to off shore locations versus tracking utility poles used by power companies requires a different set of tags and work requirements,” states Ed Nabrotzky, Chief Solutions Officer, Omni-ID. The solution can quickly deliver a product according to a customer's need along with the ability to easily expand for future growth. “By working intimately with our customers, we ensure their complete solution, from tags to readers to software, which is built specifically for them,” he adds.
