SpotSee Keeps Tabs On Mission-Critical Equipment For The Oil & Gas Industry
SpotSee, a global provider of shock and vibration monitoring tools for the oil and gas equipment industry, recently detailed how its OpsWatch and OpsWatch EX (ATEX Certified Version) vibration-monitoring and analysis tools can benefit users. The tools provide a real-time view of vibrations that equipment is experiencing and alerts equipment operators if a “deviation in normal operating pattern occurs.” SpotSee says its solutions can predict failure days before they occur, enabling companies to prevent downtime by performing preventative maintenance.
Preventing Downtime
SpotSee describes itself as an internet of things end-to-end solution provider that helps customers locate damage and view it in real time. The company’s connected ecosystem includes its own mobile virtual network enabler (MVNE), which is used to send data about equipment located anywhere in the world directly to the user. SpotSee’s tools can monitor oil and gas equipment whether in transit or in use.
“Downtime in the oil and gas industry is unacceptable,” says Tyson Stuelpe, SpotSee vice president, global sales and marketing. “Our goal is to eliminate downtime and save users money. By providing transparency to the heavy-equipment shipping process, monitoring top drives and mud pumps while they are in use, or alerting operators to potential compressor skid damage, our solutions are able to provide value at every single turn.”
Delivered Without Damage
Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, SpotSee gives oil and gas producers the ability to monitor the health and functionality of their equipment through its ShockWatch, ShockLog, SpotBot, OpsWatch, and WarmMark products. The SpotBot, ShockTrak, and ShockLog impact monitors offer users visibility into their logistics, helping “ensure their products are delivered without damage.” When an impact exceeds a pre-determined threshold, these monitors automatically generate an alert and send it to the user so they can respond accordingly. Overall, the devices lessen the chance of equipment mishandling and ensure equipment is undamaged and operational.
Noting that the oil and gas industry depends on expensive equipment this is costly to repair, SpotSee says it is vital for equipment to remain in optimal condition. “Having a guarantee of undamaged equipment after shipping and being able to monitor the equipment during use is a valuable resource that increases production, efficiency, and reduces costs for oil and gas producers,” the company states.
