CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Dec. 2, 2015 — GE (NYSE: GE) today announced that GDS International LLC, otherwise known as Global Drilling Support (GDS), has implemented its Equipment Insight solution at drilling rigs located in the Marcellus region of Pennsylvania to improve data collection, analytics and management capabilities. Powered by Predix, the software-as-a-service offering enables GDS — a leading provider of top drive manufacturing, maintenance and repair — to better monitor the health of its top drives, helping to optimize operation and maintain rig uptime.
GDS is utilizing GE’s Equipment Insight solution for a six-month pilot program with Orion Drilling Companythat includes the installation of two field agents on GDS’s top drives on rigs operating in the Marcellus and Utica Shale. These top drives are essentially the engine of the drilling rig, so improving data monitoring and management capabilities on the equipment can have significant benefits. With the cloud-based solution, GDS is able to monitor data points including load, rotations per minute, flow, pressures, temperatures and torque. This critical data provides valuable insight into the operating performance of the drill.
