  • Publication number: 20220334575
    Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein include a real-time operations center includes at least one processor and at least one memory medium. The at least one processor is configured to execute computer-readable instructions stored in the at least one memory medium that, when executed by the at least one processor cause the real-time operations center to receive operational data in substantially real-time from equipment that is located at a worksite and that is being monitored by the real-time operations center; perform data analytics on the operational data during operation of the equipment; and provide one or more graphical user interfaces to one or more computing devices, wherein the one or more graphical user interfaces illustrate results of the data analytics. In addition, systems and methods presented herein also include a data analytics kiosk having substantially similar features and configured to display the one or more graphical user interfaces via a display of the data analytics kiosk.

  • Publication number: 20220234202
    Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein utilize one or more robotic arms and a data analytics server in conjunction with existing control systems. The data analytics server is configured to receive operational data relating to operation of industrial equipment being controlled by a control system. The data analytics server is also configured to perform data analytics on the operational data. The data analytics server is further configured to determine one or more control signals configured to cause the one or more robotic arms to automatically manipulate one or more control elements of a control panel of the control system. In addition, the data analytics server is configured to automatically transmit the one or more control signals to the one or more robotic arms to cause the one or more robotic arms to automatically manipulate the one or more control elements of the control panel of the control system.

  • Patent number: 8970367
    Abstract: A system and method provides updated personnel count information for offshore locations for daily use and use during emergencies that is coordinated with a cloud database. The system allows persons not at an offshore rig or installation to monitor the presence, excuse, or absence of personnel at fixed mustering stations and moveable mustering stations such as lifeboats and the launch status of particular lifeboats. The system provides simplified touch screen information that is intuitively available to obtain user profiles for persons missing, present and excused from being present at mustering stations as well as participation in drills or emergency situations.
