RFID Enabled Safe Load Indicator Data Logging System Enhances Higher HSE Standards in Offshore Crane Operations

Abstract

Objective To record the operational data through the crane Safe Load Indicators to Identify the risk in the Behavior of crane operators, to improve Safety standards and the need for (individual) basic training in offshore crane operation. Process The Data Logger system link with the Radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, which enable the Datalogger to record operation parameters in relation with the crane operator. The data is downloaded to an internal SD card or can be transferred to a Laptop computer for analysis using special software. The data is presented in the form of graphical charts based on the operator's ID. The collected data shows the actual lifting performance and highlight the violation for each alarm under Operator ID. It will help in identifying the weak crane operator’s weaknesses and the points required training to improve his behavior. The system will assist supervisor’s in controlling risk takers behaivior.
