Progress towards autonomy
SafeTruck®, is a remote-controlled truck designed for the autonomous replacement of drilling rods.
It doesn’t require human intervention, thereby reducing the risk of accidents and increasing the mechanical availability of drilling rigs.
Increased Safety
Eliminates personnel interaction during this task, significantly reducing the risk of accidents.
Enhanced Productivity
Notably improves the time required for rod changeovers, achieving more than a 50% reduction in rod change time.
RiskReduction
Decreases the risk of accidents during the rod changing process.
No Lifting Equipment Required
The system operates autonomously, reducing the need for additional lifting equipment.
Human-LikeMovements
The robotic arm emulates the movements of a human arm and hand, providing greater stability of the bars during handling.
Increased Stability
Ensures greater stability of the bars during movement and mounting on the drilling equipment.
Autonomy and Resource Reduction
Streamlines the rod changing process, requiring fewer resources.
Self-Loading and Transport System
Includes a self-loading and transporting system for bars using hydraulic jacks.
High-Powered Truck
The manipulator is installed on a high-powered 8×4 truck, the largest model equipped with this technology, capable of transporting steel on steep and demanding inclines.
drilling revolutionized
Significant advancementin drilling technology
Focusing on safety, efficiency, and operational cost reduction. By incorporating a robotic arm to handle the drill string changes, the system not only enhances productivity but also minimizes the risks associated with manual handling. The self-loading and transport capabilities, combined with the high-powered truck, ensure that the system can operate effectively in challenging environments. This innovative solution underscores DRILLCO®‘s commitment to leveraging technology to improve safety and efficiency in drilling operations.
