A mobile generator is arguably one of the most important pieces of equipment at an oil site — necessary for keeping operations running in areas where electrical grid power is nonexistent. But just having a mobile generator on site isn’t enough in an industry driven by productivity.
Oil producers and rental distributors want to know the equipment powering the operation is providing the expected performance. Machine monitoring was once a nearly impossible feat due to the remote location of most oil sites. However, advances in telematics systems are making it possible to not only monitor a mobile generator operation, but also increase revenue, decrease costs and improve service.
