PipeGuard’s BackgroundPipeGuard’s Background

• Although being recognized as a strong need by the oil & Gas industry for years - Securing the pipes has been an unanswered challenge till nowSecuring the pipes has been an unanswered challenge till now.

• Magal has identified that need, and has implemented a unique identification identification technology developed in the Technion Technion (Israel institute of technology) .(Israel institute of technology) .

• Together with unique short range communication technology - and in-house in-house command & control systemcommand & control system – the PipeGuard patent based comprehensive solution.

PipeGuard Uniqueness PipeGuard Uniqueness

• Combination of seismic sensors (Geo-Phones) Geo-Phones) with an advanced identification identification capability capability .

• The Discrete buried sensing units are autonomousautonomous. Signal analysis is fully conducted in every unit, thus “Alert message” is forwarded to the control room only when the signal is recognized as “real”.

• Wireless Communication is based on short range transmission to both neighboring units, and on to the nearest pumping station to avail duplex communication chain.

• The principal of continuously signal-monitoring enables adaptive performance and time enhancement..
