Abstract: systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for managing operations. a detailed sequence of drill site operations for each rig in a fleet is used to determine a time schedule for the detailed sequence of drill site operations, identifying routine operational steps and dependent prerequisite activities required to proceed to each next operational step. a critical path for drill site operations is determined based on the time schedules. a shortened critical path is created using machine learning on the drill site operations. suggestions of possible next steps for an in-progress drilling operation using the shortened critical path are provided in real time. a sequence of operations is optimized using a user-selected suggestion. materials and services requests are automated. location information of personnel authorized to perform a task at a rig is collected. a determination is made that the personnel can perform the task. notifications to perform the task are provided.

Abstract: an emergency response activation (era) system comprising a graphical user interface (gui) located at a dashboard of a vehicle, four or more global positioning system (gps) satellites, a driving center, a 5g-communication control tower, an emergency response center (erc) system, and 5g-enabled unmanned semi-autonomous aerial vehicles (uavs). the gui comprises distinct emergency activation buttons (eabs), each associated with a specific emergency. the gps satellites provide a precise location of the vehicle associated with the specific emergency. the driving center receives information of the specific emergency via the gps satellites once the eab is pressed by an occupant of the vehicle. the 5g-communication control tower transmits the information from the driving center to a specific emergency response center via the gps satellites. the erc system dispatches emergency response personnel from the specific emergency response center at the precise location of the vehicle.

IPC Code(s): H04L9/40

CPC Code(s): H04L63/1425



Abstract: systems and methods include a computer-implemented cybersecurity data analytics system. an asset inventory is determined that identifies systems in a network. a baseline activity of the systems is determined using the asset inventory. the determining includes monitoring the systems during a time in which cybersecurity is secure. a real-time model of endpoints is generated using the baseline activity. the real-time model of endpoints includes endpoints communicating between systems in the network and reflects the baseline activity of, and communication among, the endpoints during the time in which cybersecurity is secure. the systems are monitored, including detecting, using the real-time model of endpoints, cybersecurity-related anomalies in the network that deviate from the baseline activity. actionable alerts are generated by the cybersecurity data analytics system by using at least the detected cybersecurity-related anomalies. the actionable alerts are displayed in a user interface and notify of potential and actual process disruptions.

Abstract: systems and methods for automatically broadcasting a real-time emergency signal to multiple networked devices at an industrial facility include detecting activation of an emergency alert siren, and identifying networked devices specified to receive a secondary alert signal, the networked devices configured for communication using one or more communication networks associated with the industrial facility. for each networked device, a type of broadcast message is identified and generated, in real-time. generating a broadcast message includes broadcasting, to a radio device, an audible emergency alert message via a radio system; broadcasting a text-based emergency alert message to a cellular device, using short message service (sms) messages using a cellular network; pushing a pop-up emergency alert message to a local computing device over a local network; and generating an automated telephone call with a pre-recorded voice message for transmitting using a telephone network.
