Digitization Of The Field Units Without Having To Invest Millions
In general, enabling IoT for the oil field equipment using the solutions provided by industry leaders, such as Emerson and Honeywell, can be cost-prohibitive. Our customer is relatively a smaller Oil and Gas service provider and was looking to have a fully digital solution without having to invest millions in technology. As they were building new units, they were also installing measurement (pressure monitors, flow meters, etc.) devices, sensors, and PLC’s from different manufacturers. They wanted to have a solution that will be secure, reduce capital expenditure (CAPEX), and result in minimal operational costs (OPEX) and manufacturer agnostic.
Implementation Of FieldEquip IoT Edge Gateway
FieldEquip IoT Edge gateway was installed on each mobile unit that will be wired through the cellular gateway to the FieldEquip cloud platform. FieldEquip engineers configured new data points in their interface to Emerson ROC 800L, Allen Bradley, etc. PLC’s in the field. The gateway technology took all the data received from the PLC’s and converted it into lightweight MQTT messages that had to be sent automatically to the EquipConnect IoT module of FieldEquip.
FieldEquip Edge Gateway has the built-in technology to cache the data locally in case of connectivity failures and to automatically push the data from the cache to EquipConnect IoT core upon restoration of connectivity. The data is then automatically transmitted to EquipConnect intelligent analytics platform for ingestion, data visualization, and analytics. FieldEquip presents the data monitoring dashboards, alerts, and workflow automation through different channels, such as mobile app and portal applications, to the end-users.
Delivery Of A Cutting-Edge IoT Solution At Very Little Cost
Our solution is very scalable and requires a very simple configuration of FieldEquip Edge Gateway at the site, which easily connects the unit with the FieldEquip cloud platform. Our customer paid the very little upfront cost to set up the FieldEquip platform and then a nominal subscription cost for each unit per month. We delivered a world-class scalable solution that can handle terabytes of data flowing from the oil field and deliver this data for visualization, interpretation, and action in real-time.
