• RFID Tags —Merrick's ruggedized RFID solution is a modular system for tracking assets, which includes: rugged fit-for-purpose RFID tags including tags for surface, sub-sea and down-hole drilling, certified intrinsically safe and non-intrinsic rugged handheld computers with built-in tag readers and software for handhelds, PC's and inspection stations.
  
  Designed for fast, accurate and consistent collection of information, Merrick's industrial RFID tags capture data on assets. For the oil & gas industry these include drilling assets, workovers, completions and inspection yards. This RFID solution contains a wealth of information about components, such as, inspection records, dimensions and use history, and it is configurable to accommodate virtually any user-specific information that needs to be tracked.
• Rig-Hand — Merrick's data-collection system, Rig-Hand, uses patented RFID technology to automate the identification of surface or down-hole piece of equipment. Rig-Hand is available as a mobile solution or for your desktop. Merrick leads the industry in oil and gas RFID technology — a technology that has been highly effective in a number of other industries— for designing down-hole drilling schematics that deliver incredible cost effectiveness and efficiencies.
• CATS (Corporate Asset Tracking System) —Merrick's oil and gas asset management system is designed to maintain as much data as needed on each asset. Using meta data to enable users to configure their own requirements for each piece of equipment, tool, or other asset, CATS allows compete and comprehensive management of information across your enterprise. CATS can be integrated with other third party material management, manufacturing and accounting systems.
