Pump Jack Monitoring and Control Solution

Finding the Right Solution

Zero-Touch Provisioning
Available apps can be customized by the customer and configuration templates can be created to simplify multiple rollouts. In this use case, the customer wrote their own control application utilizing CODESYS, but the solution supports any combination of internal innovation and 3rd-party software.

Security
Flexibility for Future-Proofing

In addition to successfully implementing remote monitoring for their pump jack operations, it was also important to the customer that the system have flexibility for future expansion. The joint ZEDEDA and Advantech edge computing foundation was ideal due to the expandability and flexibility to work with any combination of new and legacy applications. The same infrastructure can be used for additional oil and gas industry applications in various operations, such as flare detection, hydrocarbon leak detection, tank gas monitoring, tank battery storage monitoring, LACT meter monitoring, gas meter monitoring, and more.
The flexibility offered by this joint foundation includes ZEDEDA’s support for remotely deploying and managing both legacy software investments, such as data ingestion, SCADA, HMI, or historian applications running on Windows in a virtual machine--alongside new containerized applications on modern edge compute hardware. The result is a consistent, streamlined deployment and orchestration experience in a heterogeneous operating environment with any combination of hardware, applications, and clouds.
