On-shore drilling rig protection
Drilling rigs require extensive safety and efficiency monitoring.
Rig operators use edge computing to enable intelligent videoanalytics(IVA), machine learning, and equipment monitoring.
In a traditional approach, these environments utilized numerous separate systems that did not communicate well with each other.
Now, one micro data center running multiple specialty software packages can centralize these monitoring tasks.
The result is lower overall maintenance costs and higher power connection uptime.
Utilities can tap into their energy during high demand or reserve it for later use.
