The AXYS RigSentinel™ is a self contained and fully automated environmental monitoring station, designed especially for offshore oil and gas platforms. Typical sensor configurations deliver wind speed, wind direction, current speed, current direction and water elevation data to operations staff for timely and accurate decision making.

RigSentinel™ can operate on mains or solar/battery power. Real time data can be displayed in the local control station or for unmanned platforms the data can be transmitted to a distant location by radio or satellite telemetry. With two-way communications capabilities the RigSentinel™ can be configured and controlled remotely.

Platform position and environmental information can be broadcast by AIS (Automated Identification System).  Data transmitted from the RigSentinel™ by AIS is automatically displayed on nearby vessels equipped with ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Identification System).

AXYS' WatchMan500 Network Solution is the core technology for the RigSentinel that accepts sensors from virtually any manufacturer and is easily configured using Data Management System (DMS) software. Data messages are tailored to meet custom requirements, and are easily imported into a SQL database, allowing users to view important sensor information in virtual real time.
