Industrial Networking Solutions
As the oil and gas industry continues to grow, more and more well sites, pumping stations, pipelines, processing plants, and refineries are being built. Along the entire route, safe, reliable networking and industrial automation are critical to smooth operations, efficiency, and productivity.
Because safety is a top priority, networks are mission critical. Outages, downtime, and failures can threaten human lives and severely damage oil and gas facilities. Black Box has the ability to help you design, implement, and maintain Ethernet networks and monitoring systems to ensure maximum uptime at every stage of production from the field to the refinery.
We can help you:
- Integrate new technologies with existing SCADA systems.
- Maintain interconnected networks.
- Better utilize existing equipment.
- Gain a better return on your communications investment.
- Our goal is your goal. Better, safer, more reliable communications, particularly in rugged, harsh environments.
