Utility
Management of Tubular Storage In a Fingerboard Using a Vision System
16 Dec 20
A fingerboard management system that can determine via a rig controller, a selection of a location in the fingerboard for one or more tubulars and placement of the one or more tubulars in the fingerboard based on available locations in the fingerboard and historical information of each of the one or more tubulars and a method that can include importing a 3D model into a rig controller, collecting images of at least a portion of the rig, comparing the images to the 3D model or a visible marker, calibrating the vision system by determining a position, an orientation, and a field of view for each of the sensors based on the comparing, collecting additional images of the fingerboard, and determining an available total tubular storage space of the fingerboard based on the additional images of the fingerboard and the calibrated vision system.
