This touch control panel displays the flow direction of the mud from pit to pit to the derrickman. Having a Mud-Flow overview control panel improves the awareness of the crew during drilling operations.
This software implementation was developed on the top of a PLC control software. It gets its inputs data from the SCADA system (Citect OPC DA, Schneider Electric). The challenge during the software integration was to script the automatic detection of valid trajectories and possible flow directions from a 3D CAD model of the plant. This type of panels is well suited for Mud Mixing Systems of third category.
