MiningTime-SeriesEmerging Standard

AI-Powered Edge Solutions for Energy and Mining Operations

This is like putting a smart AI control room directly on drilling rigs and remote mining sites so they can analyze sensor data and equipment status locally, make decisions fast, and keep working even when the internet is slow or offline.

Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Reduces downtime and safety risks in remote energy and mining operations by running AI models and analytics at the edge (on-site), so critical decisions don’t depend on a stable cloud connection and operators get real-time insights from equipment and field sensors.

Value Drivers

Reduced unplanned downtime of rigs and heavy equipmentLower maintenance and field service costs via predictive monitoringImproved safety and environmental compliance through real-time anomaly detectionFaster operational decision-making in low-connectivity environmentsCloud cost savings by filtering and compressing data before sending to central systems

Strategic Moat

Deep domain integration between NOV’s industrial/rig systems and Armada’s edge infrastructure, plus tight coupling into existing field operations workflows in energy and mining locations where reliable edge + connectivity is non-trivial.
