Modern Edge-Based Production Optimization

ProductionManager EDGE® Container Edition extends the proven ProductionManager application suite into modern edge computing environments. It is designed to run on edge devices using containerized architecture, enabling operators to deploy optimization, analytics, and production workflows independent of traditional control hardware. By decoupling application logic from the controller layer, Container Edition helps operators preserve existing field investments while standardizing workflows across diverse automation environments. This is especially valuable for operators managing acquired assets, mixed controller fleets, legacy systems, or phased modernization strategies. The result is a scalable application framework for equipment visibility, well optimization, data aggregation, and modern IT/OT integration — without requiring a rip-and-replace approach.

Container Edition operates as a supervisory edge application layer. Field data from PLCs, RTUs, flow computers, and other automation assets can be normalized at the edge and made available to ProductionManager applications. From there, operators can apply equipment modeling, well optimization, analytics, and data publishing workflows across a broader range of assets. The control layer remains responsible for primary control and safe site operation, while Container Edition supports supervisory optimization workflows and operational decision support.

How Container Edition Helps to Supercharge Operations:

Improved Production: Apply optimization workflows across more wells and asset types.

Reduced Operating Expense Reduce repeated field efforts, migration friction, and hardware dependency.

Operational Consistency Standardize workflows, data context, and application lifecycle management across mixed assets.

Digital Readiness Improved operational data sharing and empower the organization with modern edge capabilities.

Safety focused Control Strategy: Maintain clear separation between supervisory optimization and the primary control layer responsible for safe site operation.

Features

  • Equipment Database: The equipment database provides a standardized way to define wells, equipment, and facility assets, creating a consistent operational model for monitoring, diagnostics, and connectivity.
  • Well Optimization: Well Optimization provides real-time artificial lift optimization and analytics to improve production using proven workflows across plunger lift, gas lift, PAGL, and GAPL applications.
  • New Section: Where Container Edition Fits Best
  • M&A Operators: Apply common optimization workflows across acquired assets without waiting for controller standardization.
  • Mixed Technology Fleets: Reduce friction from mixed controller brands, legacy platforms, and varied field communications.
  • Migration-Lagging Assets: Maintain ProductionManager EDGE® Workflow and Optimization value with hardware migration is deferred, phased, or commercially impractical.
