IoT in Oil and Gas in Houston - September 14th and 15th

Category:
Industry Trends
For anyone following the industrial-iot.com website they will know that we have been beating a loud and somewhat consistent drum about the real business value that we believe IIoT-enabled solutions can provide companies operating in the oil & gas industry – upstream, midstream and downstream. We also make every effort to make operators and end users aware of events and conferences at which we think they may learn more about IIoT and how it may have a bottom-line positive impact on their operations.

ARC will be attending the IoT in Oil and Gas event being held on September 14th and 15th down in Houston. Not only will there likely be lots of great presentations imparting all kinds of interesting and useful information, knowledge and experience on how IIoT can help oil & gas companies realize operational excellence, but there will also be some really cool and innovative companies such as Microsoft, Kepware, SparkCognition, OSIsoft, IBM, Ambyint, Senslytics, Shell Technology Ventures, Iconics, Halliburton, Baker Hughes, Weatherford, BSQUARE, RTI, and Exara (and others) present that can provide some real-world IIoT enabled solutions today. Imagine that, an end user or owner operator can begin to realize operational excellence today, and in the real world!!

Some of the interesting presentations will cover a range of exciting topics including:

  • Introductory Presentation - What is the Internet of Things?

  • Using machine learning, IoT and Big Data to re-write the energy industry

  • Leveraging the Digital Enterprise to adapt to a new oil & gas market
