RKI Telemetry SCADA Oil & Gas Subscription & Hardware for Gas Monitoring
Easily achieve 24/7 vision in gas monitoring for a wide-range of industries with RKI Instruments’ fully-managed web SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) for fixed gas detection solutions. RKI’s Telemetry Subscription choice will depend on the Telemetry hardware (sold separately) that's being used — 4-20 mA output or Modbus output — to enable remote and onsite data collection from fixed gas detector systems, covering various parameters like pressure, temperature, air quality, humidity, and chemical levels.
Choose between 12, 32, or 100 channel options. The subscription enables remote and on-site gathering of data from the fixed gas systems. Get access to real-time data with trends, grids, maps, web human machine interface (HMI), and more. Secure and reliable with redundant servers and multi-layer backups.
In addition, customers receive support directly from RKI to engineer and specify the system that will work for them.

Fully-Managed Turnkey Remote Monitoring for Oil & Gas
Utilize the 24/7 Vision Live Mobile App on Android and iOS. The app allows users to monitor their production and operational data anytime, anywhere. Ideal for those needing Environmental Monitoring, Oil & Gas Monitoring, Safety & Security Monitoring, Industrial Monitoring, and Fleet Monitoring.
Here’s an overview of its key features:
- Data Logging: This oil and gas data management software logs relevant data, including gas concentrations, alarm events, and system status. This historical data is crucial for analyzing trends, identifying patterns, and making informed decisions about safety protocols.
- Alarm Call-Out System: RKI’s SCADA management software is configured to match multiple pre-set alarm conditions. When an alarm is triggered, the system can send call-outs to operators via voice calls, SMS messages, or emails. This rapid notification helps ensure timely responses to gas leaks or other potential safety issues.
- Customizable Dashboard: Users can customize the system’s dashboard to focus on the metrics most important to their specific operations and easily modify the display as operational needs evolve.
- Redundant Servers & Multi-Layer Backups: Your data remains safe and secure, stored by reliable servers managed by a team of experts. There are multi-layer backups to ensure your data is never lost. The servers are located in CICA 5970 Type B Rated Data Centers. The secured connection (APN, VPN, HTTPS) protects your data and is SAS70 Type II Certified
As a comprehensive turnkey solution, the RKI Telemetry Subscription includes device integration, communication, server management, and free setup and configuration directly with RKI.
How RKI Telemetry Enhances Data Management in Oil & Gas
In the oil and gas industry, precise and timely data collection and interpretation are crucial to operational efficiency and safety. RKI Telemetry Subscription’s enhances data management capabilities through:
- Enhanced Data Accuracy: Accurate data collection is critical to various oil and gas functions, such as monitoring well performance, equipment status, pipeline integrity, and environmental safety. RKI Telemetry solutions offer high-frequency data sampling, which helps ensure that even small fluctuations in operational conditions are captured and reported accurately.
- Reliable Data Transmission: Data transmission reliability is critical in oil and gas operations, where equipment failure or process anomalies can lead to hazardous situations. RKI Telemetry SCADA systems are built with redundancy and failover mechanisms to ensure uninterrupted data flow, even when hardware or network failures occur. This robust architecture minimizes downtime and ensures decision-makers have consistent access to accurate data, even under challenging conditions.
- Seamless Data Access: In critical oil and gas operations, timely access to data is just as important as data accuracy and reliability. RKI Telemetry SCADA systems provide real-time data visibility through user-friendly interfaces, including web-based dashboards and mobile applications. This enables operators and engineers to monitor operations from anywhere and virtually any device, allowing them to address any irregularities or critical conditions promptly.
Integration of RKI Telemetry Hardware and Software
The SCADA system also integrates seamlessly with other enterprise software, such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Maintenance Management Systems (MMS), facilitating streamlined data flow across departments. By enabling real-time data sharing, RKI Telemetry helps optimize cross-functional collaboration, ensuring that the right teams can respond promptly to operational challenges.
Once installed, the hardware automatically communicates with the SCADA software with minimal configuration required. This facilitates rapid deployment and reduces the complexity associated with configuring disparate systems.
Moreover, both the hardware and software components of RKI Telemetry solutions use standardized communication protocols, including Modbus, TCP/IP, and DNP3. This compatibility allows RKI Telemetry hardware to easily communicate with its own software and other third-party systems if needed. This flexibility makes it easier for oil and gas companies to integrate RKI solutions into their existing infrastructure.
Choosing the Right SCADA Solution for Your Oil & Gas Operations
Here are the primary considerations when implementing a SCADA solution:
- Operational Requirements: Implementing a SCADA solution starts by clearly understanding and defining what you need to monitor, what data you’re currently collecting, and how. This clarity ensures that your SCADA system is tailored to meet specific operational demands, avoiding unnecessary features and maximizing efficiency and return on investment.
- Customization and Fit: Every organization has unique operational needs. A customizable SCADA solution allows you to tailor the system to support these requirements and all the necessary processes and workflows.
- Integration Capabilities: Consider the system’s ability to integrate with other systems, such as safety instrumented systems (SIS) and distributed control systems (DCS). Seamless integration helps ensure that all parts of your operation are working with the same information, reducing errors and the risk of operational disruptions. According to a study, integrating SCADA with DCS is the best way to minimize losses from pipeline leaks (Eso, A., & Eseosa, O., 2022).
