PROTOCOL OF REGISTRATION OF MAINTENANCE OF PIPELINE FITTINGS

Background. The method of registration of maintenance and repair of pipeline fittings using RFID technology (Radio Frequency Identification, radio frequency identification) is considered. The proposed method makes it possible to simplify and automate the process of collecting information about the time and content of work on maintenance and repair of pipeline fittings, and thus strengthen control over its implementation. This increases the reliability and safety of equipment operation. The necessity of regular and high-quality MRO of TPA is justified. Materials and methods. The methods of automated data collection on the performed maintenance and repair work and the condition of the crane assembly and their recording in an RFID tag are described. The composition of the hardware of the installation for automated registration of the pipeline fittings is analyzed. Results and conclusion. A protocol for recording data on maintenance and repair of pipeline fittings into an RFID tag is proposed in order to simplify and partially automate the process of collecting information about maintenance and repair and strengthen control over its conduct. The analysis of the capabilities of RFID tags and the organization of the RFID tag memory structure is carried out and a list of information recorded during registration of work necessary for quantitative and qualitative assessment of the conducted maintenance and repair of pipeline fittings is described. The minimum list of equipment necessary for the implementation of the hardware of the installation for the registration of maintenance is described, a description of the operation of this installation and its block diagram is given. The conclusion is made about the necessity and relevance of the application of the proposed method of registration of information on the conduct of maintenance and repair of pipeline fittings.
