Beyond HMI commercializes and democratizes technology for onshore oil and gas operators. We embed algorithms in field devices (PLCs, RTUs) - directly monitoring field sensors. We compliment IoT and cloud computing by providing the dew for fog computing.
Modern instruments provide a rich set of diagnostic signals which are typically ignored. Our products monitor sensor signals at high frequency. From this bounty of real-time information, we generate actionable insights that improve wellpad operational efficiency.
We employ physics-based models and knowledge of the equipment mechanics as a basis for conclusions. For some applications, neural networks - executing on the field device - classify operational modes in near real-time.
We can deliver these algorithms on a variety of hardware to compliment your existing automation, SCADA, or IoT environment.
Our knowledge of wellpad and allocation measurement informs our gas, oil, and water measurement products which empower modern PLCs to serve as both automation controllers and flow computers.
