PetroComputing Blog - Skymira Delivers New Monitoring Solution for Field Technicians

By PetroComputing | November 19, 2009

Skymira, provider of satellite and cellular solutions for remote operations management, has enhanced its TailorFitTM Solutions by combining its popular Electronic Forms and Telemetry/SCADA services. This latest solution provides technicians with real-time operating status of remotely located equipment under their care while operating in rough terrain.

Skymira provides remote field solutions for Work Order Automation using its Electronic Forms service and its Telemetry/SCADA service, with each service typically using separate satellite networks. For this new solution, Skymira combined the services and separate satellite network data into a single powerful application. Field technicians are now equipped to keep a watchful eye on remote units to detect early warning signs of failure and avoid downtime.

“When data from multiple remote information solutions is combined, it produces exponential benefits for our clients,” said Robert Landsfield, CEO of Skymira. “Technicians driving in trucks are able to check the status of equipment operating hundreds of miles away. This is the first solution of its kind to address a significant unmet need.”

Skymira employs a comprehensive approach to understanding each client’s needs and details of how they operate so they can have a complete view of all areas where access to remote information will drive increased returns. While most companies will initially implement one or two high-return applications, Skymira has observed that companies continuing beyond this initial set of applications realize exponential benefits. Driven by the increased reporting made available, new combinations of data can be used to solve increasingly complex challenges, unlocking value often hidden within a company’s existing processes.
