Digital solutions provider Salunda has signed an agreement with technology services company Intellilift to increase safety and efficiency in well construction
The agreement, which solidifies a long-term partnership between the two companies, was signed following a successful pilot trial integrating Intellilift’s proven digital technologies with Salunda’s patented camera and wearable Red Zone monitoring solutions on a drilling rig.
The combined capabilities of Salunda and Intellilift will enhance efficiency and safety in the drilling rig market. By accelerating well construction through automation, these advancements will also safeguard the wellbeing of personnel working in hazardous areas.
Salunda’s Crew Hawk wearable technology and HaloGuard cameras can be integrated with Intellilift’s drilling software, resulting in improved safety conditions, enhanced well planning and reductions in tripping time.
Alan Finlay, Salunda chief executive, said, “This collaboration underscores our commitment to developing proprietary technologies that improve the welfare of those working in safety-critical industries and to address the evolving needs of our clients and partners.
“By integrating our hazardous area monitoring technologies with Intellilift’s systems, we can support in optimising the construction of wells by merging information gathered from drilling equipment and the movements of personnel in close proximity to Red Zones. This will result in improved safety controls and reduced downtime.”
Stig Trydal, Intellilift chief executive, said, "I am thrilled to announce our partnership with Salunda. This collaboration is a significant step forward in our mission to deliver data-driven performance improvements and state-of-the-art technology solutions. By combining our open architecture with Salunda’s monitoring technologies, we are set to offer advancements that will redefine automation and remote operation industry standards.
“Our joint efforts will not only enhance the capabilities of our products but also ensure that our customers are equipped with the best tools to meet their requirements. We are excited about the potential this partnership holds and look forward to the breakthroughs that lie ahead."
Salunda’s wearable technology and camera solutions wirelessly monitor hazardous working environments in real-time, tracking individuals and equipment to provide anonymised feedback that focuses on safe operations and minimising risk.
