Passive RFID Worker Detection for Oil & Gas Operations

Protect your crews with detection built for the harshest oil & gas environments.

Oil and gas operations put people and heavy machinery in close contact every single day. Loaders, haul trucks, service rigs, and support equipment move constantly across sprawling, often remote sites. Add rotating crews, long shifts, extreme temperatures, blowing dust, and low-light conditions, and the risk of a struck-by incident climbs quickly. Blind spots make it worse, because an operator cannot always see a ground worker who has stepped into a danger zone.


SCAN~LINK helps close that gap. Our passive RFID worker detection technology instantly identifies tagged workers around mobile equipment, alerts the operator inside the cab, warns the worker on the ground, and records every event for review. It works in the harshest environments oil and gas can throw at it, and it fits right into the safety protocols your teams already follow.

Forestry and logging operations present serious safety risks, particularly around heavy equipment and limited visibility environments. SCAN~LINK provides solutions designed to improve awareness and reduce risk across forestry operations. See how the system works in the video below.

SCAN~LINK Armour System Components

Antenna Unit

Mounted on the exterior of the equipment, the antenna creates a customizable detection zone and continuously scans for passive RFID tags. It wirelessly transmits detection data to the in-cab display.

In-Cab Display Unit

When a tagged worker enters the zone, the operator receives immediate visual and audible alerts. Self-diagnostic checks confirm the system is connected and working, so operators are never running unprotected without knowing.

External Alarm

Mounted on the outside of the machine, the external alarm warns ground workers the moment they enter a danger zone. This two-way alerting keeps both the equipment operator and the ground worker aware.

RFID-Tagged PPE

Workers wear high-visibility vests and hard hats with embedded passive RFID tags. Each tag carries a unique identifier and needs no batteries, charging, or maintenance.
