Due to extremely limited and unpredictable network connectivity, it has been a historical challenge to collect operational data from remote locations. However, Symboticware will enable Major Drilling to better monitor its drill fleet performance and provide real-time data to help in training its crews faster. This will be done by deploying patented store-and-forward, machine-to-machine communication, and digital data muling technologies.
The goal of the project is to improve machine and operator productivity, optimise profitability and enhance safety through near-real-time asset performance management and advanced analytics. This implementation bolsters onboard visualisation as part of Major Drilling's innovation strategy for its proprietary IT solution, the Trailblazer Analytics application.
The partnership will empower Major Drilling's team to use industry-leading, dynamic and advanced data collection and visualisations for its extensive fleet of drills, utilising its world-class drilling knowledge with the flexible capabilities of Symboticware's purpose-built solutions.
"The partnership with Major Drilling is strategic and timely as we set out to transform the four million off-highway assets in the resource industries with our Operating System of Intelligence," said Ash Agarwal, CEO of Symboticware. "Major Drilling is one of the most innovative and progressive companies in the industry and we're proud to have earned their trust. We're excited to serve Major Drilling with our market-leading and innovative solutions and look forward to a large-scale deployment across the world."
"We are excited to partner with Symboticware and embark on the next step in digitising our rigs and our data collection capabilities," said Marc Landry, Major Drilling VP of Technology & Logistics. "We are confident their expertise will aid us in advancing our fleet technologically, as well as help us usher in a new generation of drillers to our crews. With access to this new data, we will continue to lead in providing new members of our team the ability to learn faster by measuring their performance improvements."
