Industries

RTAP manages pipelines for the largest gas producers in Russia and the largest pipeline operation in North America. For one customer, RTAP is responsible for monitoring the transportation of 1.9 million barrels of refined oil products through over 9,700 miles of pipeline. In addition, RTAP provides real-time automation and optimization of production facilities in some of the harshest onshore and offshore environments in the world.

The Solution
RTAP based solutions can be found addressing these challenges in all sectors of the oil & gas industry. The greater the demand for scalability, reliability and flexibility, the more RTAP's capabilities meet the challenge. A true object oriented database provides a strong foundation to logically organize growing systems, for both design and maintenance efficiency. A powerful development environment satisfies the need for application expandability. RTAP is also designed for high availability applications, especially in more demanding large-scale and evolving systems. To address emerging cybersecurity challenges Industrial Defender has introduced its complementary Industrial Defender security solution. Industrial Defender is the first real-time security solution designed specifically for industrial automation environments.
