pipeBOT™ provides an automated solution for oil pipeline control room operators. The software allows them to manage start-up, shut-down, steady-state batch transitions, upsets, swings, strips, and DRAs of oil pipelines. pipeBOT™ is primarily intended to increase safety by reducing human factors incidents, to increase revenue by increasing volumetric throughput, and to improve business continuity by reducing long-duration unplanned outages.

Since 2021, after pipeBOT™ went commercial, customer sentiment has been positive, especially in reducing the control room operator workload and increasing revenue.
