View Article

CygNet has developed a standardized solution for pipeline operations, CygNet for Pipeline. In using this proven solution, clients need only input their specific configuration data, which completely eliminates the need for multiple cycles of design-signoff-create-test-customize. This fast-track implementation solution includes a pre-designed and tested foundation built exclusively for transportation pipeline operators, enabling them to collect, manage and distribute critical real-time information throughout the enterprise, from the control room to the marketing floor. This speed of deployment and ease of configuration has shattered the costly, time-consuming and resource-intensive model that has dominated the realtime oil and gas industry for years. Taking advantage of CygNet’s pre-built support for field devices and IT infrastructure components often used by North American pipeline operators, CygNet for Pipeline eliminates the time and cost associated with getting custom solutions to work with each client in the field. This approach of incorporating the protocol specifications of manufactures, such as Allen Bradly, Bristol, Control Microsystems, Emerson and more, allows CygNet to deliver a scalable, rapidly implementable solution for collecting data from tens of thousands of field and operational devices.

CygNet for Pipeline organizes all incoming data into a pre-configured and tested schema, ensuring the data is normalized and managed in a hierarchical data model, ready to be leveraged by business users. This unified data model is the foundation for CygNet’s industry-specific applications, which deliver personalized views and business processes. These applications that include functions such as line pack, nominating and forecasting, which enable managers and executives to visualize, explore and correlate the data in ways most relevant to their various jobs. The information is presented in logical, tabular formats that can later be customized by business and operations users, as can all alarms, notifications and calculations, without any risk to future platform version upgrades provided by CygNet. CygNet for Pipeline is based on the powerful distributed architecture at the core of CygNet’s solution. This ensures reliability across a geographically diverse organization. CygNet is designed to scale to virtually any number of users both inside and outside the firewall without the need for additional centralized or specialized computing hardware.
