VDP News — Deer SAPS: Smart Assembly Point System Deployments
NEWS · DEER — SMART ASSEMBLY POINT SYSTEM (SAPS)

Deer's Smart Assembly Point System goes live across two Saudi industrial sites.

Two field deployments of Deer's IIoT-enabled Smart Assembly Point System (SAPS) — first at a corporate data center in Dhahran, then at a gas processing facility in Shedgum — mark an early rollout of intelligent, sensor-driven emergency assembly infrastructure in the Kingdom.

Deer's first SAPS installation went live at a corporate data center in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, marking the system's initial field deployment. The unit — a freestanding, sensor-equipped assembly point — was commissioned on site with representatives from the project and facility teams present.

SECOND DEPLOYMENT

The second deployment followed at Shedgum Gas Plant, where the SAPS unit was installed as a designated emergency assembly point within the facility's perimeter. Plant personnel gathered at the site as part of the commissioning process, extending the system's field track record to a second, higher-hazard industrial setting.

HOW IT WORKS

IIoT Sensors in SAPS

Each SAPS unit is equipped with industrial-grade sensors to monitor gas hazards, temperature, humidity, and wind — providing data to support safe assembly and emergency response.
