Salunda, a leader in digitised solutions for safety critical industries, has partnered with Intellilift to provide automated location and control of critical equipment and personnel on four drilling rigs in Guyana.

This marks the first deployment of a real-time digital interface between wearable sensors, drilling controls, and moving machinery. The system streams machine location, velocity, and status in real-time.

Salunda's CrewHawk monitors hazardous working environments, tracking individuals and equipment, while Intellilft's platform provides a digital interface to the drilling automation suite.

Alan Finlay, Salunda Chief Executive, said: "This is a significant step in the evolution of offshore safety equipment, and we are proud to be working with Intellilift to ensure that crews are as safe as they can be when working in Red Zones.

"The digital integration marks a step change in safety for the sector and by knowing where workers and equipment are, as well as having the data behind the movements accurately captured and logged, this trailblazing solution ensures that personnel working in safety critical areas can feel well protected during daily operations."

Stig Trydal, Intellilift Chief Executive, said: "The market is in urgent need of new technology, and we are witnessing a growing willingness among operators to disrupt markets. Our collaboration with Salunda exemplifies the potential of innovative companies to challenge the larger players in technology and transparency. The journey we've had together has been truly remarkable, and only time will reveal what lies ahead."

Salunda's Hawk Analytics platform allows users to scrutinise data, generate trends, and display heatmaps showing where violations are clustered and around which machines they are most common.
