Salunda, the global leader in digitized solutions for safety critical industries, has signed an agreement with technology services provider Intellilift to increase safety and efficiency in well construction.

The agreement, which solidifies a long-term partnership between the two companies, was signed following a successful pilot trial integrating Intellilift’s proven digital technologies with Salunda’s patented camera and wearable red zone monitoring solutions on a drilling rig.

The combined capabilities of Salunda and Intellilift will enhance efficiency and safety in the drilling rig market. By accelerating well construction through automation, these advancements will also safeguard the wellbeing of personnel working in hazardous areas.

Salunda’s Crew Hawk wearable technology and HaloGuard cameras can be integrated with Intellilift’s drilling software, resulting in improved safety conditions, enhanced well planning and reductions in tripping time.

“By integrating our hazardous area monitoring technologies with Intellilift’s systems, we can support in optimizing the construction of wells by merging information gathered from drilling equipment and the movements of personnel in close proximity to red zones. This will result in improved safety controls and reduced downtime,” Alan Finlay, CEO of Salunda, said in a press statement.

Salunda’s wearable technology and camera solutions wirelessly monitor hazardous working environments in real-time, tracking individuals and equipment to provide anonymized feedback that focuses on safe operations and minimizing risk.

Users of Crew Hawk, which has MET, IECEx, and ATEX certification, can set up perimeters in the working environment around areas that pose the greatest risk to personnel.

For dynamic situations, a zone can be triggered around activated equipment or machinery. Individuals then receive direct alerts should they enter these zones, and Salunda’s proprietary MTES (motion trigger and e-stop) technology can be used to pause equipment.

“This collaboration is a significant step forward in our mission to deliver data-driven performance improvements and state-of-the-art technology solutions. By combining our open architecture with Salunda’s monitoring technologies, we are set to offer advancements that will redefine automation and remote operation industry standards,” said Stig Trydal, CEO of Intellilift.
