A shaker screen system for use during a well-drilling operation at an oilfield involves the use of a shale shaker and a main container that stores an assortment of replacement screens for the shaker. Each screen has an affixed ID marker (e.g., an RFID tag). An ID reader monitors the inventory of screens in the main container. As screens are removed from the main container and installed in the shaker, the ID reader collects and records data pertaining to the event along with other related events such which screen was removed, who removed it, when was it removed, etc. The data provides a recorded history of events that are wirelessly transmitted to a remote offsite location. In some examples, the shale shaker destroys the ID marker to ensure the used screen is not later mistaken for a new one. |
