Automation of drilling data collection using an industrial router

An industrial router automates drilling data collection and reduces the need for on-site technical visits.

Automation of drilling data collection using an industrial router

01 / Challenge

The operational requirement

A drilling operator needed to record process values and provide accurate reports to customers and regulatory bodies. Manual collection introduced delays, data errors and the risk of incomplete records.

Remote sites also required a way to diagnose equipment and adjust approved parameters without dispatching a technician for every interruption.

02 / DONYX solution

Product used in this deployment

The router was selected for the required cellular resilience, interfaces and remote management capabilities.

03 / Results

Deployment outcomes

  1. 01

    Process data collection is automated at the drilling site.

  2. 02

    Authorised teams can adjust supported parameters remotely.

  3. 03

    Backfill density and other operational values are visible in real time.

  4. 04

    Reporting data is available sooner and with less manual handling.

  5. 05

    Remote diagnosis reduces avoidable technical visits.

Outcome

RS42 LTE Cat 6 enables automated transfer of drilling data and gives technical teams remote visibility into field equipment.
