Engineering outline, not abstract R&D

RESTART helps industrial, energy, oil and gas and infrastructure companies create solutions in which real measurements, telemetry, equipment passports, regulations, ERP, BI and AI work as a single controlled loop.

We connect where it is not enough to simply implement a ready-made system. You need to understand the physics of the process, data sources, measurement channels, field conditions, user roles, reliability and security requirements, and then assemble a solution suitable for trial operation and further scaling.

Digital metrology is not only verifications and registers

For RESTART, digital metrology is a managed digital measurement chain: from sensor, instrument, recorder or field device to validated data, quality control, analytics, reporting and management decision.

Measurements and equipment

Data and quality control

Data collection and normalization, completeness and reliability control, time series storage, event logging, anomaly search, data preparation for BI and AI.

IT integration

ERP, 1C, SAP, MES, SCADA, DWH, BI, API, data buses, personal accounts, operator workstations, reports, showcases and operational monitoring.

Industrial operation

Fault tolerance, cybersecurity, roles and access rights, operating regulations, maintenance, development of the solution after the pilot and preparation for scaling.

What tasks do we take on?

R&D

Prototypes and MVP

We formulate an engineering hypothesis, success criteria, minimum data, pilot scenario, limitations and technical roadmap.

Why RESTART is useful in engineering R&D projects

In such projects, it is not enough to simply write code or supply equipment. It is necessary to connect the engineering hypothesis, real operating conditions, measurement data, business processes, safety and industrial architecture. It is at this junction that RESTART works.

Engineering approach

We look at the conditions of the real environment: sea, facility, production, infrastructure, remote site, signal quality, communications, power, availability and maintenance.

Strong IT team

Backend, frontend, integrations, API, databases, BI, DevOps, AI, operation, testing and maintenance of production environments.

Enterprise systems experience

ERP, 1C, SAP, DWH, document flow, management reporting, roles, regulations, access rights and integration with business processes.

Safety and adjustable environments

Design for information security, segmentation, access control, logging, secure operation and regulated customer requirements.

R&D without interruption from implementation

We prototype, test hypotheses, evaluate the effect, prepare a scaling architecture and do not leave the pilot without an industrial route.

Connection with AI and Data

We connect RESTART AI Enterprise Platform, DWH/BI, time series, vector storage, Document AI, RAG and analytical scenarios where they provide practical benefits.

How we launch R&D and digital metrology

1

Diagnostics

We record goals, current systems, equipment, data sources, environmental limitations, reliability requirements, risks, safety and expected results.

2

Hypothesis and architecture

We define application scenarios, data model, target architecture, pilot success criteria, composition of integrations and boundaries of responsibility.

3

Prototype/pilot

We collect data, interfaces, integrations, quality control, operator scripts, telemetry and a minimum pilot operation loop.

4

Effect evaluation

We check technical applicability, business case, operational risks, data quality and scaling requirements.

5

Industrial environment

We are preparing a fault-tolerant architecture, information security, DevOps/DevSecOps, regulations, maintenance, monitoring and a solution development plan.

Project ASB-27: autonomous seismic buoy for marine data

ASB-27 is a RESTART technological project in the field of autonomous acquisition of marine seismic data. The solution is based on the use of autonomous surface seismic buoys that can hold position, coordinate with the main vessel, transmit coordinates and quality control data via satellite and work as a complement to traditional marine seismic technologies.

ASB-27 shows that RESTART is capable of working not only with corporate IT systems, but also with engineering products where equipment, field conditions, telemetry, positioning accuracy, data quality, control algorithms and industrial operation are important.

Functional features of ASB-27

Autonomous operation on the sea surface

The buoy remains on the surface, does not require a wire link between all receivers, and can be used in scenarios where traditional methods are limited.

Holding a position

The presentation included tests with station keeping within 3 meters in strong winds and a current of 0.5 knots, as well as a scenario of heavy sea swell and wind.

Autonomous movement

The buoy can change receiving points in accordance with the shooting scenario and move to new Receiver Points; the materials indicate a cruising speed of 0.5 knots.

Communication and control

GPS, satellite communications, coordinate updating, quality control, active node management and coordination with the main vessel.

Seismic recording

32-bit acquisition system, highly sensitive hydrophone and data ready for further processing in 3D/4D and FWI scenarios.

Pilot System

Online system for controlling a large number of robots, integration with seismic design software, routes to avoid obstacles and closed areas, active evasion of marine traffic.

Field tests

Satellite and inertial positioning, satellite and radio communication channel, data logger, sensors, water resistance up to 30 meters, transportation and control package.

Container mobilization

The project materials show the container design as a practical format for preparing equipment, communications and control systems for trial work.

Where ASB-27 can be especially useful

Based on the results of the expert assessment, the technology looks promising primarily as an addition to traditional marine seismic methods, and not as their universal replacement. The clearest niche is complex acquisition areas, areas near active offshore structures, 4D monitoring, and scenarios where there is a need to expand coverage or acquire data in locations that are inaccessible to a standard survey configuration.

2D/3D towed streamers

Addition to traditional surveying to extend azimuths and acquisition offsets in complex scenarios.

3D and 4D monitoring

Collect data for 3D surveying and 4D seismic monitoring where repeatability and coverage of complex areas are important.

Blind Spots

Data logging near active offshore structures, platforms and other areas where standard configuration is limited.

Energy and offshore infrastructure

Experienced work near marine energy facilities, underwater and coastal infrastructure, where data, work safety and clear pilot economics are needed.

Pilots on the shelf

Experimental work to evaluate technical feasibility, data quality, logistics, safety and economic impact.

Why ASB-27 is important for R&D

ASB-27 is an example of how an engineering task turns into a digital product: the device collects measurement data, holds coordinates, transmits telemetry, requires control systems, signal processing, quality control, operator interface and integration with industry processes.

It is projects like these that are the focus of R&D and digital metrology RESTART: equipment, data, IT, safety, operation and business case must be brought together into one manageable route.

Communication with RESTART directions

An engineering R&D project rarely lives alone. Industrial applications require data, integration, security, compute, operations, and connectivity to enterprise systems.

Frequently asked questions

Does RESTART deal only with software?

No. The R&D and digital metrology direction works at the intersection of equipment, measurements, field data, telemetry, IT integration, safety and industrial operation.

Can ASB-27 be immediately used in an industrial environment?

On the public page, ASB-27 is positioned as an engineering R&D project and a manned solution. For industrial application, testing, pilot scenario, technical evaluation and business case are required.

Does ASB-27 replace OBN or towed streamers?

No, it is more correct to view the technology as a potential complement to traditional marine seismic methods for complex zones, 4D monitoring and coverage expansion scenarios.
