Oil & Gas at a Glance
A Convergent Technology Sector
The Oil & Gas industry represents the extreme edge of what can be successfully achieved when battling the elements and explosive nature of the very products produced.
In this intense environment humans are constantly forcing the envelope of what can be done safely.
This press is obviously what success looks like BUT can also cause failures of safety that in turn cause lost production and often injury or lives.
It is against this backdrop that intelligence is required to manage these situations successfully across production, management, and security – all areas where EMS solutions excel.
While many companies correctly identify data as crucial for enhanced security, simply relying on onsite control rooms or replacing security personnel when losses don’t reduce isn’t a comprehensive solution.
A more strategic, data-driven approach is needed to truly address losses and optimize ROI across the entire mining operation.

Oil & Gas
The oil and gas sector is grappling with several critical challenges that are reshaping its operational landscape.
Regulatory shifts are a primary concern, with governments worldwide implementing stricter environmental standards and policies that impact exploration, production, and distribution.
The global push towards decarbonization and renewable energy presents a profound challenge, forcing companies to adapt to a changing energy mix and invest in alternative sources. Furthermore, supply chain disruptions and economic volatility, often exacerbated by geopolitical events, create uncertainty in pricing and availability of resources. Technological advancements are also a double-edged sword, requiring significant capital investment for adoption while simultaneously promising increased efficiency and reduced environmental impact. The industry also contends with a persistent labor shortage and the need to attract and retain skilled talent, particularly as the workforce ages and new skill sets are required for digital transformation.
Finally, public perception and social license to operate remain crucial, with increasing pressure to demonstrate environmental responsibility and community engagement.
These multifaceted issues demand strategic foresight and innovative solutions for the industry’s continued viability.
Oil&Gas Sector Solutions: Data-Driven Efficiency and Loss Prevention
The industry faces unique challenges in production, management, and security. Our EMS products address these challenges across all three tiers, providing tailored solutions to meet your specific needs.
Our Approach:
We understand that controlling losses, generating efficiencies, and ensuring system repeatability are critical for success in today’s competitive market. Unlike traditional approaches that focus solely on loss prevention, our EMS solutions create a robust, long-term control structure.
Data-Driven Decision Making:
Our system uses data analysis to drive decision-making, enabling YES/NO questions to be answered accurately based on real-time circumstances. This ensures that decisions are consistently correct, even as external factors change. The data remains, providing a transparent record of past decisions and allowing for organic improvements in practices.
Key Benefits:
- Fact-Based Operations: Decisions are driven by data, eliminating subjective interpretations.
- Reduced Losses: Proactive loss prevention, not just reactive measures.
- Improved Efficiencies: Optimized production and resource management.
- Enhanced Security: Comprehensive security solutions tailored to the mining environment.
EMS Solutions:
Our solutions focus on areas of maximum loss, providing targeted improvements in labor management, production analytics, and communication. We don’t just offer band-aids; we provide lasting solutions for sustainable success in the mining industry.

LiDAR Vision Solutions
Two Solutions for LiDAR - Why..??
Flasheye is our main software and firmware supplier.
Firmware for ALTOS, Software for Onlogic industrial solutions
Why..??
VMS solutions such as Milestone are sometimes considered expensive when customer look at the options available from the camera manufacturers.
This is simply not true.
VMS solutions such as Milestone with its open-platform flexibility allow products such as Commend, ALTOS, FlashEye to natively connect to other devices such as cameras – seamlessly, with ease and producing a more control based solution that doesn’t require operator intervention to function.
Together with the the fact that it is designed to provide a more future-proof security solutions is why they are our preferred choice.
So why the two options.
People buy from people, so in that saying it is not always the best solution that is purchased, instead customer weigh other factors, ending with them having solutions that do not always offer easy integration – think HIKCentral.
So where this occurs ONVIF M or ONVIF S or RTSP connections will not do and our offer has to be less integrated, more standalone, this is where we utilised Onlogic Rugged PC’s with MQTT broker protocols providing local control, monitored by the camera system.
So the Onlogic platform only for non VMS sites, Yes and No…
On certain bespoke solutions where very close fragmentation analysis is required, we may have to tighten our focal length and control, this is where we specify products from HESAI to provide the head end of the data gathering for the Flasheye processing.

ALTOSHaul/Train V&F
Key Features of ALTOSHaul/Train V&F
V&F (Volume & Fragmentation)
Max/Min Level Detection: Alert on level reached.
Motion Detection: 3D scan of each vehicle
Volume: The measured volume in m3 of each vehicle
Fragmentation: Size of load particles
Classification: Classification in case multiple types of vehicles are driving under the sensor
Integrated Camera Control: Drive alarm motion or recording to provide CCTV image
ALTOSHaul-Density
Key Features of ALTOSHaul-Density
Density = Mass / Volume)
By utilising the features in V&F and combining with the nett weight produced by the weighbridge, ALTOS can calculate whether the load reading is correct and that the correct grade of material is loaded
ALTOS-Perimeter
Here’s how Opsys LiDAR excels:
Lightning-Fast Scanning: Every second, the entire field of view (FOV) is scanned 1000 times, creating a detailed point cloud that captures even the smallest objects.
Unmatched Accuracy: This rapid scanning translates to a remarkable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), ensuring high probability of detection (POD) for even low-reflectivity targets at extended distances.
Seeing the Unseen: A 170cm tall person is detected at up to 120 meters away, while larger objects such as cars or trucks can be tracked with a movement registration of up to 200m to 300m, regardless or weather and lighting.
Adaptable for Any Situation: Larger objects, like vehicles, generate more reflection points, potentially extending the detection range even further. This adaptability makes Opsys LiDAR ideal for a wide range of applications.
- Real-Time Alerts: When an object enters the detection zone, an alarm is sent to Milestone, triggering camera vectoring or other responses.
- Enhanced Security: Detection can automatically activate Commend IP POE speakers for pre-recorded messaging or live interaction, deterring potential threats.
ALTOS-Area
So this is the Perimeter..??
YEP like the perimeter but tight on an area: Every second, the entire field of view (FOV) is scanned 1000 times, creating a detailed point cloud that captures even the smallest objects.
Unmatched Accuracy: This rapid scanning translates to a remarkable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), ensuring high probability of detection (POD) for even low-reflectivity targets at extended distances.
