Overview
Pigging operations play a crucial role in maintaining pipeline integrity, cleaning, inspection and flow assurance. However, without accurate real-time insight into pig or scraper position, operators face operational uncertainty, delays, or even safety risks. PipePatrol NEO Pig Tracking provides continuous, real-time visibility of pig location and movement throughout the pipeline, enabling safe, predictable and efficiently coordinated pigging activities.
Integrating seamlessly into the PipePatrol NEO ecosystem, the system supports optimised planning, faster response and improved situational awareness during all phases of pigging.
PipePatrol NEO Pig Tracking delivers a clear, real-time overview of pig and scraper location, allowing operators to monitor progress throughout the entire pigging cycle. By combining sensor inputs, hydraulic insights and intelligent tracking algorithms, the system calculates accurate positions and expected arrival times. The intuitive KROHNE SynEnergy HMI provides easy-to-read visualisations that enhance situational awareness and enable seamless coordination between field crews and control room teams. Whether for cleaning, batching or intelligent inspection pigs, PipePatrol NEO ensures safer, smoother and more predictable pipeline operations.
