Labeling solutions for the Chemical, Oil, and Gas Industries

Label solutions for the process industry

RFID special labels for the highest standards, versatility though a variety of application options

The labeling of equipment items and operating materials in the chemical, petrochemical and gas industries serves many purposes: the inspection of incoming and outgoing goods, the management of warehouses for parts, raw materials or interim storage, the localization and administration of mobile assets, efficient spare parts storage and inventory, the simplification of maintenance and repair – to name just a few.

RFID labeling solutions offer significant practice-oriented advantages in these environments: 

• transponders turn each part of a system’s equipment into an unmistakable, unique item, 
• the tags can be reliably and permanently attached in a variety of ways, 
• they can be read out and written over larger distances, even without direct visual contact and 
• they also offer the highest functional security even in the most adverse ambient conditions

Entering the IoT with RFID

Knowing the identity of a line section allows downstream IoT structures in procedural systems to call up information from local central databases in the field, and to also update and send it back using write/read tags. Such use of operating manuals, assembly instructions, checklists, work records or spare parts information, for example, is suitable for efficiently simplifying assembly and commissioning sequences, as well as supporting inspection, maintenance, service and repair work. Processes involving dismantling, recycling or waste separation can also be designed efficiently and sustainably when supported by the clear identification of the corresponding assets.

The chemical, petrochemical and gas industries rely on labeling solutions made by PMG Labels

PMG Labels is aware of the demands placed on durable and reliable labeling in all sectors of the process industry. Pipes, flanges and fittings, gas bottles, tanks and containers, components, cable harnesses, housings or operating materials – RFID labels in InMould, OnMould or looped label design provide all of the options offered by a reliable and undetachable fixture mounted on the object in hand. This means that reliable, distinct identification is possible – even in areas that are hard to reach or difficult to access.

Using materials that are selected, structured and handled with a view to achieving the highest level of robustness, impermeability, and chemical and thermal resistance, RFID labels from PMG Labels are themselves resistant to extreme stresses, such as the moisture and salt sprays encountered in offshore environments, the heat and sandstorms that accompany the supply of oil and gas in the desert or the iciest temperatures experienced during explorations in Arctic regions. 

The label size, shape and print can be individually designed – our development and production site in located in Goodyear, Arizona, is also optimally equipped to meet special design and layout requirements for both RFID labels and RFID antennae. 

Where effectual, PMG Labels can also offer suitable solutions with barcode labels, for example with InMould, InMould on Roll and OnMould barcodes for container identification or with micro-barcodes for the space-saving identification of inspection equipment and tools.
