Abstract: A method of regulating at least one parameter of a separator for use in a hydrocarbon production facility is described. The method comprises receiving at least one first temperature value and/or at least one first pressure value from at least one upstream component, determining a target value for each of the at least one parameter for the separator based on the received at least one first temperature value and/or the at least one first pressure value and regulating the at least one parameter of the separator based on the respective target value. Further, a corresponding apparatus is described.

Abstract: A method is provided for a remotely-deployed field device to automatically select one of different mobile network modes to communicate with a server computing device. The field device is configured to maintain consistent and reliable connection with the server computing device by automatically switching between different mobile network modes that are selectively open and active based on various criteria, such as technical and/or business considerations. The automatic selection of mobile network modes is achieved in a submissive mobile network connection regime in which the remotely deployed field device autonomously operates to submit to whichever mobile network mode is open and active under preset criteria.

Abstract: A collapsible storage rack includes an integral RFID tag scanner configured to read RFID tags of products stored thereon. The storage rack is adjustable between an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration.

Abstract: A modular RFID tag scanner includes a control unit and multiple signal distribution units. The signal distribution units include multiple antennas within a single housing. The signal distribution units are each connected to the control unit by an RF transmission line. The configuration of the modular RFID tag scanner permits easy construction or retrofitting of a product storage structure to scan RFID tags on products, such as to monitor product inventory on the product storage structure. Methods of installing and using an RFID tag scanner are also disclosed.

Abstract: An inventory monitoring system including a data collection and transmission module and a data evaluation module. The data collection and transmission module receives data from an RFID tag and transmits the data to the data evaluation module to thereby enable the presence of a product to which the RFID tag is attached.
