for the Oil & Gas Industry

2. “By 2021 over 40% of data generated in oil and gas
production plants and in the field will be collected
and orchestrated on IoT edge devices. By 2022,
75% of new assets will be deployed with some self-
diagnosing and self-healing capabilities.”
IDC Futurescape 2019, Worldwide Oil
& Gas Top 10 Predictions.

9. Real-Time, Event-Driven App Platform
You need…
event-driven applications that
connect your devices, systems,
and people together in real
time.
“By 2020, event processing
will be a top-three priority for
the majority of CIOs at large
organizations.”
Gartner

10. Mission Critical
You need…
the security, scalability, and
dynamic availability that your
mission critical applications
demand.
“Event-driven architecture
optimizes for agility, resiliency,
extensibility, lower cost of
change, open-ended design
and web scale.”
Gartner, “Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2018”

11. Distributed, Run Anywhere
You need…
your mission-critical applications
to run anywhere – distributed
from the cloud to the edge.
“By 2022, more than 50% of
enterprise-generated data will be
created and processed outside the
data center or cloud, up from less
than 10% in 2019.
Gartner

12. Human-Machine Collaboration
You need…
a system that optimizes your
organization’s people by
enabling powerful human-to-
machine collaboration.
“38% revenue boost estimated
over the next 5 years for those
fully committing to AI and
investing in human-machine
collaboration.”
Accenture, “Reworking the Revolution,” Jan 2018

19. “In 2018, oil and gas companies are challenged
to… dog-ear funding to invest in high-impact
innovative technologies to help digitize and
transform the business into a tightly-integrated
and agile business environment.”
IDC, 2018 Top of Mind for Oil and Gas
CIOs, Chris Niven.

20. When actions need to be taken in real time to ensure the
safety, security, or efficiency of your people or systems.
Quickly build and deploy real-time software applications
that can utilize latest advances in event-driven
architecture, IoT, machine learning, and edge computing.
When seconds matter.

22. Human Safety and Prevention of Major Accidents
Application: Improving the capacity to predict major accidents
before they occur is an absolute priority. It constitutes an
innovative approach, since it combines:
Early fault detection (e.g., equipment failure or gas leak)
thanks to new-generation sensors
A system allowing real-time acquisition/processing/analytics of
data
Data transfer to control room operators
VANTIQ is the only
solution on the market
able to combine real-time
data with diverse
technologies to create
situations and collaborate
with humans.
USE
CASE Oil and Energy - France
Why VANTIQ:
In real time, the application needs to combine diverse
information from numerous sources, qualify them and
create a situation enabling Operators to take the right
decision with a clear understanding of the onsite
situation:
⇒ Take the right decision to save lives

23. Result: Saving lives
and increasing
operational efficiency
USE
CASE Oil and Energy - China
Petroleum Production Video Surveillance
Application:
Intelligent monitoring and prevention systems through
various types of sensing devices installed at the site
Effective compensate for the defects of traditional methods
and technologies in supervision.
Realize all-round real-time monitoring of people, machines,
materials, and change from passive “supervision” to active
