Background
With the trend of oil feld digitization gaining momentum, telematics can be tremendously useful in understanding equipment status so as to facilitate predictive maintenance and to avoid operation downtime. Leading oil and gas service companies are building telematics solutions for their customers to run smooth operations and conduct predictive maintenance for artifcial lifts in oil felds. Collecting the data generated by the equipment during operations is the key to achieving this goal.
