Offshore Europe success for Monitor Systems

Monitor Systems had a constructive and busy week at Offshore Europe, showcasing a selection of monitoring & control systems to existing clients, potential customers, students and industry graduates. The event featured nearly 1000 exhibiting companies from around the world, a selection of active international pavilions, and an industry Decommissioning Zone. The event offered us the perfect location to showcase our capabilities, and at the same time, the opportunity to network with oil & gas operators and industry professionals.

OE 2019 is the 23rd biennial exhibition since it was launched back in 1973. This year, the event was hosted by Aberdeen's new state-of-the-art P&J Live centre, TECA - The Event Complex Aberdeen, where an estimated 36,000 oil and gas professionals from 130 countries visited the event.

Our exhibition stand was unique in that it featured touchscreen consoles for hands-on system simulation demonstrations. The systems features allowed our engineers to enjoy a change in pace from building systems designed for the control and monitoring physical IO, to build fully interactive standalone touchscreen consoles to simulate fully functioning systems. Brian Sinclair (Managing Director) commented … “Offshore Europe gave us the perfect opportunity to showcase exactly what we do. Our stand welcomed visitors to interact with our systems, simulating ‘real-time operations and scenarios’ via touchscreen consoles.

Mark Wood (Commercial and Technical Director) added … “As an exhibitor, it’s very difficult to measure the short and long-term success of any event, however the continued response from new and existing clients has been very positive. We’re currently engaged in various project talks, and have recently been awarded system design and build projects.

It wasn’t all about technology and innovation though, the event gave us the opportunity to introduce and welcome on-board one of our latest additions to the team, Ben Yousef, who has successfully taken up the position of Business Development Manager for Africa and the Middle East. Ben commented … “The show was a great success, it’s enabled us to project our brand and profile, while demonstrating our systems design capabilities. Utilising our touchscreen consoles and simulation software to the full, we have installed two units at our Aberdeen HQ for clients and prospects to operate. Please contact myself or one of our engineers for a lunch and learn demonstration”.
