Improving Productivity and Safety of the Oil and Gas Industry via LongRange Wireless Mesh Technology

Nimantha Baranasuriya, Co-Founder and CEO of Ackcio Pte Ltd, is a pioneering entrepreneur with a strong background in deep-tech and climate technology. With a PhD in wireless networks from the National University of Singapore and award-winning research incorporated into platforms like Skype, he has built Ackcio into a global leader in wireless monitoring solutions for construction, mining, and heavy industries. He is all set to share his views on Improving Productivity and Safety of the Oil and Gas Industry via Long-Range Wireless Mesh Technology, where he will discuss how robust, real-time monitoring systems can transform operational safety, asset integrity, and efficiency in challenging industrial environments.

He is all set to share his views on the challenges of monitoring oil and gas assets and projects that span vast, often remote areas—including offshore rigs—where real-time data is critical for safety, risk management, and productivity. He will highlight the limitations of manual methods and legacy systems, which are costly and fail to deliver timely insights for decision-making. Additionally, he will explain why existing LoRa and other star-based wireless systems fall short in such demanding environments. In contrast, he will present the advantages of long-range wireless mesh-based monitoring technology, which enables seamless, reliable sensor data collection even in the most challenging conditions—offering a transformative step toward safer and more efficient operations in the oil and gas industry.
