Information to gather. of course, for a human, it is easy to make mistakes. the robot can handle it much more easily. all this data allows the company running at the robots, cognite, to build a digital twin, a full, virtual 3—d model of the rig. that map allows the robots to run autonomously, and the images taken can be compared over time to see if something has changed and might need repair. it's very different to how things currently work. at the moment, i think it is every two years that we do a complete ex inspection of all the explosion—proof electrical boxes on the drill floor or var...

Inspection whenever you choose, in fact. and doing a full inspection means looking very closely in some very hard—to—reach places. as you can see on this rig back here, we have a very high drilling tower. you typically need to inspect that pretty often to look for loose bolts and things like that. the drone can do that with a remote control. it is very easy to do that. we can automate them by using our software. we also get the images in precisely the same location as the last time so it is very easy to see things happening over time. mapping is one thing but the robots also provide import...

Electrical boxes — on the drill floor or various parts of the rig. if you had a robot on board, you could be doing heat tracing each month. you could be doing ex inspection whenever you choose, in fact. and doing a full inspection means looking very closely in some very hard—to—reach places. as you can see on this rig back here, we have a very high drilling tower. they call it the derek. you typically need to inspect that pretty often to look for loose bolts and things like that. the drone can do that in — byjust a remote control. very easy to do that. we can automate that then by usin...
