Raffinaderijen, terminals en tankparken hebben enkele van de langste hekwerken in de industrie, vaak rond gevaarlijke zones waar elektronica onder spanning niet is toegestaan. RBtec overbrugt de afstand met passieve glasvezeldetectie en houdt elke actieve component veilig buiten die zone.
Oil and gas security systems have to deal with three things a normal industrial fence does not. Distance: a refinery or tank farm perimeter is measured in kilometers, and pipeline corridors in tens of kilometers. Hazardous area classification: large parts of the site restrict what powered electronics can be installed. And consequence: theft, vandalism and activist incursions at an energy facility carry process safety and downtime costs far beyond the loss itself.
API Standard 780 defines the security risk assessment methodology the industry uses to justify and document measures. Waterfront refineries and terminals fall under MTSA, 33 CFR Part 105, with a Coast Guard approved Facility Security Plan. The CFATS program lapsed in July 2023 and, as of September 2026, has not been reauthorized, though CISA encourages voluntary adherence and many operators still run to their existing site security plans. TSA pipeline security guidelines and insurer loss prevention audits round out the picture. All of them expect a documented, risk based detection layer.
The sensing element of RaySense AI DAS is optical fiber: glass, with no electricity in the field. The active electronics sit in the control room, kilometers away from the classified zone, which makes the architecture a natural fit where powered field devices are a problem. One unit monitors long perimeter runs and locates events along the fiber, so the fence beside the flare and the fence at the truck gate are separate zones with separate tuning.
RaySense LGDS buries the fiber along the right of way and detects walking, vehicles and digging near the line, while RaySense TPI is tuned specifically for third party interference: the excavator that shows up next to the pipeline is reported while it digs, not after the strike.
Sector by sector along the fence or right of way, engineered with RBtec design support and installed by the site contractor. The passive field architecture puts no powered devices along the line, so there is very little to maintain once commissioned.

RaySense fiber covers long fences with no power in the field.
LGDS buried sensing along pipelines and open ground.
TPI reports digging near the line while it happens.
Zoned alarms give auditors documented detection coverage.
