Armada is partnering with NOV to launch Beacon powered by Max, a compact edge device integrated with the Armada Edge Platform (AEP) and deployed directly on-site. Beacon brings ruggedized edge computing to remote, space-constrained environments such as offshore rigs, factories, and wellsites, enabling customers to process sensor, video, and control data close to the source.
This launch expands Armada’s reach across energy, mining, manufacturing, and utilities, and complements its larger Galleon mobile data center deployments. Beacon is now available as a turnkey solution via the Armada Marketplace.
By integrating Armada’s powerful edge-native AEP and OpsSafety AI software with Beacon, the two companies are enabling real-time, AI-driven decision-making for customers operating in remote and harsh environments.
Beacon is designed to deliver high-performance computing and analytics at the point of data generation. With Armada’s platform, customers can now deploy, manage, and scale advanced AI models across fleets of Beacon devices, even in disconnected or bandwidth-constrained environments.
The joint offering is powering real-world applications for customers, including:
Predictive Maintenance: AI models detect early signs of equipment degradation, preventing costly failures.
Safety Monitoring: Real-time video and sensor analysis to identify unsafe conditions or compliance issues.
Operational Optimization: AI-driven insights help optimize drilling parameters, reduce fuel consumption, and improve resource efficiency.
This collaboration represents a significant step toward fully autonomous industrial systems, where AI at the edge drives safety and efficiency.
