The application of Internet of Things technology in the integrity management of pipeline

To accurately analyze risk factors, risk activities existing in the pipeline and evaluate safety situation of the pipelines, it is required to use Internet of Things technology to establish an information technology platform for the integrity management of pipelines. This technology establishes the data integration system to carry out comprehensive analysis and use of the data and develops the intelligent application platform for the data based on business needs through connecting the pipeline and ancillary facilities with sensors, so that it achieves the optimal management of all links of pipeline operation. This paper introduces the application of Internet of Things technology-based pipeline integrity management in data acquisition, remote monitoring, and materials management and other fields, and the results show that the use of Internet of Things technology can not only achieve the goal of visualization and digitization of pipeline integrity management, but also minimize the time and space risk factors, to ensure safe and smooth operation of the pipelines.
