Edge Onsite Kiosk
Edge Computing for Subsea BOP Reliability
In the high-stakes environment of offshore oil and gas operations, maintaining the reliability of Blowout Preventers (BOPs) is essential. Remote BOP monitoring is a valuable and needed solution, but has the drawback of relying on internet connectivity, which is susceptible to unplanned interruptions.
Aquila Engineering's Edge Onsite Kiosk addresses this challenge by providing real-time monitoring capabilities directly at the edge, ensuring continuous operational oversight without the need for internet connectivity.
