This describes a computer system designed to gather information from sensors on oil and gas production equipment. The system can then use this data to manage and control the equipment. It connects to the sensors using various wired or wireless communication methods.
Why it matters: Since 2018, the maturity and cost-effectiveness of industrial edge computing and secure wireless communication protocols have significantly improved. This makes deploying robust data processing and control systems for remote equipment more feasible.
