Keytroller unveils state-of-the-art affordable remote equipment monitoring

Countless companies are faced with the real and often costly predicament of how to monitor and track the location of their equipment in remote jobsites. Solving this issue, Keytroller, a designer, manufacturer, and supplier of electronic safety and weighing devices, has unveiled the Cyberwatch SAT—a satellite wireless hour, alarm, and location meter designed for remote locations.

Machinery is heavily used in remote locations like mines, logging sites, drilling rigs, and offshore oil rigs, as well as on international ships. These applications typically don’t have cellular or WiFi connectivity and monitoring their usage is expensive and troublesome. Tackling these dilemmas, the Cyberwatch SAT provides equipment monitoring from anywhere in the world, without the need for a SIM card or local wireless plan—at less than $40 per month.

Cyberwatch SAT utilizes the Iridium network and transmits up to six hour meter readings and six alarm readings with GPS location, once per day. This data can then be viewed in the client’s own web portal or have the data sent to a smartphone where it can be exported via DropBox for further manipulation and viewing.

Aside from monitoring data, this clever device can also be used as a hub communicator. An operator can wirelessly connect his/her smart phone to the device mounted on a piece of equipment. Once connected, the operator can send an email or text message from their smartphone through the SAT device to anywhere in the world—a potentially lifesaving feature.

If a user has the Cyberwatch SAT’S phone number, they can also text a command to that number. When the command is received, the device will respond with the hour meter, alarm, and location data back to the phone that made the inquiry.

Free demo kits are available for qualified users by contacting Keytroller at (813) 877-4500.

NUTECH Partners with WellDatabase, Introduces NuQuest

NUTECH, a leader in reservoir intelligence that combines the strength of two key elements, reservoir characterization and reservoir engineering, has partnered with WellDatabase to launch NuQuest, the industry’s first comprehensive and intuitive digital platform providing standard well data coupled with corresponding reservoir characterization, and engineering expertise. This expertise identifies key reservoir parameters impacting production and unlocks further production opportunities in similar areas.

Launched in 1Q16, NuQuest provides a quick and affordable way to access hundreds of thousands of pieces of well analysis performed in every new and major conventional and unconventional play throughout the United States, Canada, and other key regions of the world.

NuQuest is an insight generation tool that enables value creation. NuQuest is powered by the petrophysical, geological, and engineering strength of NUTECH. This is coupled with years of experience in every major U.S. play (conventional and unconventional) to result in a representative characterization of the reservoir you can trust.

NuQuest, a part of NUTECH’s innovative Reservoir Intelligence (RI) analysis process, will provide subscribers not only with a comprehensive look into regions’ historical well data, but will also link this data to its proprietary reservoir engineering and geological data allowing for faster, better, more informed decisions for future development opportunities.

“Our alliance with WellDatabase has extended NUTECH’s bandwidth to another level,” said Allen Howard, president and CEO of NUTECH. “As a company, our mission is to provide reservoir intelligence to our customers in order to maximize value and minimize risk at every turn. By joining forces with WellDatabase and launching NuQuest, we are providing our customers with the most inclusive service on the market, generating insights that create value otherwise previously unavailable.”

“Partnering with NUTECH, the leader in petrophysical analysis and reservoir intelligence, adds dimension to our service that our competitors do not have,” said John Ferrell, founder and CEO of WellDatabase. “There are multiple offerings of well data services within the industry, but none that provide the opportunities for forecasting and comparatives as well as forward thinking, efficient planning. NuQuest is the service that will undoubtedly provide the most insight across the board.”

Cosasco’s Wireless Corrosion Monitoring

The new Cosasco Bluetooth Suite of corrosion-monitoring products allows users to configure and collect pipeline corrosion and erosion data wirelessly.

The Bluetooth-enabled products install in industrial pipes and vessels to monitor internal corrosion rates. A transfer unit is used to wirelessly configure and collect data from the units, allowing users to determine the rate of metal loss and monitor the efficiency of chemical treatment programs.

The Cosasco Bluetooth Converter adapts legacy Cosasco instruments to communicate wirelessly with the transfer unit. Only one transfer unit is needed to configure and collect data from any Cosasco Bluetooth-enabled monitoring technology, including Microcor ER, Electrical Resistance (ER), Linear Polarization Resistance (LPR) and Ultracorr (Ultrasonic).
