INDUSTRY NEWS The Level 5 Tool Control System from Snap-on
As engineering managers within the oil and gas industry cope with relentless pressure to deliver improved productivity, often with fewer skilled hands and tighter budgets, the benefits of professional tool storage and management become stronger than ever.
Snap-on Industrial’s Level 5™ automated total asset management system brings order to any workplace, enabling engineers and technicians to know exactly where to find every tool they need, when they need it, saving time and easing stress.
How useful would it be if all your workshop’s valuable tools could be tracked from one central point? Snap-on Level 5 systems make that possible. It provides complete reports on everything managers or supervisors need to keep
an eye on. They are even informed when a tool needs to be refilled or ordered.
And then there’s FOD. The threat of foreign object damage is a real and present danger both on and offshore. Using Snap-on Level 5 minimises the risk of human error, as automated tool control constantly tracks every tool and detects which tools have been removed or returned, ensuring greater protection against FOD.
Engineered to automatically track individual tools by user, without bar codes, scanners, RFID tags or other add-ons, the system works at the speed its users demand. Other systems require additional steps to scan or log activity. The Snap-on system does this automatically so users don’t waste time and don’t have to depend on other steps to ensure accurate results.

TE Connectivity Releases Rochester Cable Greaseless Wireline Technology for
Downhole Logging Application TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity and sensors, has launched its Rochester greaseless cable technology providing a more efficient field operation for downhole logging applications.
This eco-friendlier downhole jacketed wireline cable solution replaces steel cables in cased hole operations. Utilizing the Rochester branded DATEX 40 jacket material which is specially formulated, helps ensure the cable will not “birdcage” or high strand.
Additionally, TE’s Rochester greaseless wireline incorporates a specially designed steel armor package to deliver a breaking strength of 8,500lbs.
“We’re seeing an industry migration to this type of technology in the closed hole logging cable environment," said Nigel Read, Product Manager for TE’s Aerospace, Defense and Marine business unit. “Our greaseless wireline cable is designed to offer faster run speeds coupled with cleaner

operations and at a lower cost of operation to our customers, compared to conventional downhole wireline products.”
TE’s greaseless wirelines offers immediate benefits:
• Provides a lower coefficient of friction over traditional wireline cables using a specially formulated cable jacket material; • Improves rig up and rig down efficiency; • Demonstrates faster run speeds over traditional wireline; • Provides cleaner, more environmentally friendly option over traditional downhole wireline cables.
network ready, using either Ethernet or wireless connection. They are also equipped with Keyless Access Control, giving users the ease of access they need but with security built in.
Says Richard Packham, Director UK & Europe for Snap-on Industrial: “Snap-on’s automated system takes tool management to an entirely new level. The ability to monitor several boxes from one central computer offers a huge time saving advantage.”
