Industry Challenges

Rapid Technological Obsolescence
Fast-paced innovation shortens component lifecycles, making it difficult to maintain long-term product support and design continuity.
Counterfeit Components
The risk of fraudulent parts threatens product reliability, safety, and compliance, requiring rigorous sourcing and verification.
Supply Chain Volatility
Global disruptions and extended lead times create uncertainty, challenging your production schedules and inventory management.
Design Complexity
Increasing demand for higher performance and functionality in smaller form factors complicates the development process and extends time-to-market.

DRILLING AUTOMATION FOR A MAJOR MIDDLE 
EASTERN OPERATOR

Client task

A national oil company operating in the Gulf region needed to modernize control systems across multiple offshore rigs. Legacy PLCs were struggling with data throughput and lacked edge processing capabilities for predictive maintenance. The client required a rugged, high-performance computing platform capable of withstanding extreme heat, salt spray, and constant vibration—while supporting real-time data analytics and remote monitoring.

Solution

Falcon Red delivered a complete embedded computing solution built on the SECO ecosystem, tailored for offshore automation and telemetry.

  • SECO Computer-on-Modules: Deployed high-performance COMs with integrated AI acceleration for real-time sensor fusion and anomaly detection at the edge.
  • Rugged Carrier Board Design: Custom-engineered boards with conformal coating and extended temperature ratings, designed and tested in-region by Falcon Red.
  • End-to-End Integration: Full lifecycle support from prototyping to light manufacturing, plus 24/7 field service across all installed rigs.

Results Achieved

  • The SECO-powered drilling automation system achieved a 30% reduction in unplanned downtime through real-time edge analytics and predictive maintenance capabilities deployed across five offshore rigs.
  • The custom carrier boards and ruggedized modules passed all environmental qualification tests—including extended temperature, salt fog, and vibration—without redesign, ensuring the client's modernization program stayed on schedule and under budget.

Timescales

18 months from prototyping to full deployment

ENERGY OPERATOR

Client task

A leading energy company managing a network of crude and gas pipelines across Saudi Arabia and the UAE required a modernized monitoring system. Existing solutions provided only periodic data updates and could not detect subtle pressure changes or corrosion indicators in real time. The client needed an edge-enabled system capable of continuous acoustic and pressure monitoring, with local data processing to instantly flag anomalies—even in remote, off-grid locations with limited connectivity.

Solution

Falcon Red deployed a distributed monitoring solution leveraging the SECO ecosystem, designed for long-range pipeline networks and extreme desert conditions.

  • SECO Edge AI Modules: Installed low-power, high-performance modules at pump stations and along pipeline segments, running real-time acoustic and pressure analysis to detect leaks and flow irregularities within seconds.
  • Ruggedized Enclosures: Custom-engineered IP68-rated enclosures with passive cooling, designed by Falcon Red to withstand sandstorms, extreme heat, and prolonged sun exposure.
  • Secure Remote Telemetry: Integrated satellite and cellular backhaul options with local data caching, ensuring continuous operation and data integrity during connectivity outages.
  • Regional Deployment & Support: Full installation supervision, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance provided by Falcon Red's in-region engineering team.

Results Achieved

  • The system detected three potential leak events within the first six months of deployment, enabling rapid response and preventing environmental damage and product loss.
  • Edge-based processing reduced satellite data transmission costs by 60%, while extending field device battery life through optimized wake cycles.
  • All 22 monitoring sites passed rigorous desert environment qualification tests and have operated continuously with 99.8% uptime since deployment.

Timescales

14 months from pilot phase to full network deployment
