Revolutionising Pig Tracking and Signalling with Cutting-Edge Apps

Pig tracking and pig signallers have long been integral to pipeline operations, with each process relying on specialised equipment and methods.  As technology has advanced, modern Apps have emerged that significantly enhance these tasks.  By integrating the latest Apps into your pig tracking and signalling operations, you can streamline processes, improve data accuracy and achieve great operational flexibility.

Streamlined Operations with Real-Time Data

Modern Apps for both pig tracking and signalling offer real-time monitoring capabilities that simplify operations.  Pig Tracking Receiver Apps provide a graphical representation of signals, helping to identify individual and multiple pigs with greater accuracy.  Similarly, our latest Pig Signaller App allows you to view real-time pig passages directly on your phone or tablet via Bluetooth, eliminating the need to be situated in view of the signaller.  The Apps also allow you to detect your pigs from the comfort of your vehicle which can be advantageous if working in a remote area whilst experiencing inclement weather.

Enhanced Flexibility and Convenience

Traditionally, changing settings on pig tracking equipment involved sending units back to the manufacturer, causing delays and additional costs.  IK Trax’s EMTx Config App allows operators to adjust transmitter settings such as pulse length, frequency and power output directly on-site.  This increased flexibility is mirrored in our receiver and pig signaller apps, which enables users to adjust settings in real time from their device, making the process more convenient and reducing the need for direct equipment handling.

Comprehensive Data Review and Analysis

Both pig tracking and pig signalling apps offer advanced data review features.  Receiver apps let users pause, zoom and scroll through past tracking data, facilitating detailed analysis without the need for constant monitoring.  Similarly, our pig signaller app provides a live graphical representation of gauss readings from the 4003 Pig Signaller and allows users to download up to 100 stored events.  These features enable thorough review and analysis.

Exportable Records and Client Support

One significant advantage of these apps is the ability to generate detailed records of operations.  Pig tracking apps enable users to mark areas of interest and create comprehensive logs of received signals, which can be exported for client reporting and supporting data.  Our pig signaller apps also supports exporting records, providing clients with valuable data and ensuring a thorough documentation of pig passages.
