Librestream has won a contract provide the collaborative video camera technology for Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) using Cisco networking products.
PDO will use Librestream’s Onsight rugged smart camera devices and Inmarsat BGAN services in the field to share live video, images and audio with remote experts on their desktop computers or in Cisco TelePresence rooms in a highly secure way.
These experts include internal PDO teams as well as third party suppliers or vendors, when required, to rapidly diagnose field emergency situations.
“In many situations, field engineers need to stay a safe distance away from the equipment when diagnosing emergencies such as well head relief valve failures. In this case, engineers can use the digital zoom on the Onsight camera device to give experts in the Muscat, Oman headquarters or a key supplier in North America the detail they need to help diagnose the field issue from afar,” said Michael Murphy, VP, International Operations at Librestream.
“PDO has demonstrated a clear commitment to safety and innovation and we are pleased to be working with Cisco and GBM to deliver this solution.”
PDO has already deployed the video collaboration solution in the field and identified benefits such as accelerated response to issues in the field as well as improvements in safety and overall communication.
“The PDO project is one example of many where we’ve collaborated with Librestream, including a variety of deployments at leading global industrial firms—from automotive and CPG manufacturers to oil and gas, and utility operations,” said Chet Namboodri, senior director, Cisco Global Private Sector Industries.
