挑战
Flying Star Transport, a company in the oil and gas industry, had been using Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) for 15 years. However, the proprietary environment of their former ELD provider was starting to limit their opportunities to integrate and innovate operations. Additionally, the hardware was becoming outdated and required a significant investment to replace. This led Flying Star to evaluate the current offerings in the ELD market. They found that many of the solutions lacked product maturity and felt like they were teaching trucking to some of the vendors.
关于客户
Flying Star Transport is a company based in Amarillo, Texas, operating in the oil and gas industry. The company has a fleet size of 55 and has been proactive in adopting technology to enhance its operations. This includes the adoption of Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) 15 years ago. However, the company faced challenges with their former ELD provider, whose proprietary environment started to restrict their opportunities to integrate and innovate operations. Additionally, the hardware was becoming outdated and required a large investment to replace.
解决方案
Flying Star Transport decided to evaluate KeepTruckin, an ELD solution that had received investment from Google. They were surprised to find a team of people who were genuinely excited about developing a great ELD. They were impressed by the KeepTruckin Dashboard, which they found to have a modern, clean, and intuitive feel. This was a refreshing change from the other solutions they evaluated, which felt like they hadn't been updated since the 90s. They also found the driver experience with KeepTruckin to be incredibly easy to use. The targets that appear when the driver downloads and uses the app are like a built-in trainer, making the training process simple.

Case Study
Taking Oil and Gas Exploration to the Next Level
DownUnder GeoSolutions (DUG) wanted to increase computing performance by 5 to 10 times to improve seismic processing. The solution must build on current architecture software investments without sacrificing existing software and scale computing without scaling IT infrastructure costs.
Case Study
Remote Wellhead Monitoring
Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.
Case Study
Refinery Saves Over $700,000 with Smart Wireless
One of the largest petroleum refineries in the world is equipped to refine various types of crude oil and manufacture various grades of fuel from motor gasoline to Aviation Turbine Fuel. Due to wear and tear, eight hydrogen valves in each refinery were leaking, and each cost $1800 per ton of hydrogen vented. The plant also had leakage on nearly 30 flare control hydrocarbon valves. The refinery wanted a continuous, online monitoring system that could catch leaks early, minimize hydrogen and hydrocarbon production losses, and improve safety for maintenance.
