Remote Monitoring Service brings remote Job Information to the field

Feb. 17, 2010 - PRLog -- ProphetRMS allows sensor data and operator activities to be easily captured in the field and communicated back to a central location, the ProphetRMS Portal website.  With our recent release of an upgraded Portal website, we are happy to announce now that our field software will be upgraded to bring the full capabilities of our service to clients in the field.

Several new features are outlined here and a short list of other improvements made.
Job Information

A highly requested feature for our field software has been to allow job information to be entered directly from  ProphetRMS remote by the company man or rig man during the job.  This will replace several of the well and job data spreadsheets that are manually managed right now with a smart interface connected directly with ProphetRMS and automatically transmitted up to our Portal website.  This ensures our job information is entered more accurately and more timely on every job, furthering the value of our reports.

The job information has a number of fields that can be entered for each job.  The page is separated into new categories and there are a number of fields for tracking the personnel on each job.  A sample of this page is shown below from the field interface.  You can click on the thumbnails to see the panel full size.

Changes in ProphetRMS Service Pack 2

The main focus of this release is to support the new data for job information.  This will allow all of the job information fields to be captured and transmitted from the field.  The data is then automatically transmitted back to the ProphetRMS web Portal to be stored and reported with on every job. There are additional improvements and fixes being made to the ProphetRMS software and a few more of those are outlined below.

New Features and Improvements:

   * Job Information Entry with the ability to bring up previous entries and lists for various fields
   * The Ethernet TCP communication between the data acquisition box and the operator display has been upgraded and so the connection stays active and never disconnects
   * Improved the Hook Load display to appear as a button so that operators know they can click to set it
   * Non-linear scaling capability for individual sensors that do not operate with a linear response
   * Automatic Remote Field Updates provide our technicians a more streamlined method of updating software on our field equipment
   * Added several redundant backup files for configuration and satellite tracking to prevent corrupt files and long transmission times
   * Modified the Hook Load Limit area on the user interface to look like a button as per user requests to make this more obvious

Bug Fixes:

   * ProphetRMS Remote now waits for a connected network before attempting to connect the operator display which was causing a rare startup error message requiring a restart of the application to resolve.
   * Several error message from the ProphetRMS Remote application were not properly logging in the data acquisition box to be sent to satellite.
   * Configuration import for our field technicians now properly imports the last section of a file
   * Very long job notes were truncated in size without informing the user.  They are now limited to the maximum length and will see a message if they attempt to write too much.
