English abstract
In recent years, there has been a lot of interest in the application of Internet of Things (IoT)
technologies in warehouse environments. The oil and gas industry's embrace of the Internet of
Things (IoT) has completely changed several aspects of warehouse management. Oil and gas
industry warehouses may increase operational effectiveness, improve safety protocols, and save
money by utilizing IoT technology. Implementing IoT in warehouses allows for real-time
inventory management and monitoring, reducing stockouts, and streamlining the procurement
process. IoT-based asset tracking solutions reduce downtime and enable preventive maintenance
by providing real-time visibility into the movement and location of machinery, tools, and vehicles.
Continuous monitoring of vital equipment is made possible by IoT sensors, allowing for the early
identification of potential problems and the avoidance of expensive failures. In the oil and gas
sector, security and safety are top priorities, and IoT is essential for boosting warehouse safety
measures. Access control systems guarantee that only authorized workers have access to restricted
areas, while connected cameras and environmental sensors can identify threats. Additionally, IoT
technology helps optimize energy use in warehouses, supporting environmental initiatives and
lowering costs. IoT use in oil and gas sector warehouses has several advantages, including
enhanced safety, cost savings, and simpler processes. IoT will be crucial in streamlining warehouse
management and supply chain procedures as the industry continues to embrace digital
transformation, eventually boosting efficiency and productivity in this dynamic industry.
This thesis examines the primary factors influencing the adoption of IoT in warehouses by a
thorough investigation of the body of current literature, case studies, and expert's opinion through
surveys. The need to increase operational effectiveness, boost inventory management, optimize
logistical procedures, and enable real-time data-driven decision-making are among the reasons
cited. The study also examines difficulties encountered in the adoption process, such as
infrastructure needs, data security issues, system integration, and the need for skilled workers.
This study adds to the body of knowledge by providing an in-depth study of IoT adoption in
the oil and gas industry's warehouse operations. Warehouse experts, IT specialists, and industry
decision-makers can use the knowledge gained from this study to help them make well-informed
decisions about implementing IoT, giving them the ability to optimize warehouse processes,
improve operational efficiency, and create competitive advantages in the fast-moving oil and gas
sector.
