1、Industry Pain Points: Automation Technology Reshapes Competitiveness

The limitations of traditional core drilling rigs that rely on manual operation are becoming increasingly prominent: frequent parameter adjustments are needed in complex strata exploration, and insufficient experience can lead to an increase in core breakage rates; in high-intensity operation environments, labor costs remain high and there are safety risks. At the same time, the requirements for drilling accuracy, efficiency and equipment stability in fields such as mineral exploration, geothermal development and infrastructure projects continue to rise.

To address this contradiction, we have integrated core technologies such as intelligent sensing, adaptive control, and remote interaction into the equipment iteration based on the modular design concept. The upgraded automated drilling rig can now sense parameters such as rock hardness and inclination in real time, and autonomously optimize the drilling speed and pressure distribution. This reduces the need for manual intervention while raising the core integrity rate to a new level.

2、Customized Services: The Leap from “Usable” to “User-friendly”

Unlike the “one-size-fits-all” model of standardized products, we understand that scene adaptability is the core value of automation upgrades. Relying on a process database accumulated over more than 20 years in the industry, we provide “tailor-made” services for different customers:

Flexible configuration of functional modules

For scenarios such as mine exploration, geothermal well construction, and tunnel geological survey, we offer modular combinations with differentiated power systems, drilling depths, and intelligent control levels. For instance, in high-altitude and low-temperature environments, the hydraulic system’s anti-freezing performance can be enhanced, while in multi-fractured strata, a stuck drill warning module can be equipped.

Deep optimization of human-computer interaction

Through a customizable control interface and data feedback system, the operation process is simplified. Even non-professionals can quickly master functions such as equipment status monitoring and fault diagnosis, reducing training costs.

Compatibility Upgrade Plan

For customers who already have drilling rig equipment, we offer partial automation retrofit services, such as installing intelligent control terminals or replacing key components, to minimize equipment replacement costs to the greatest extent.

3. Quick Returns: Efficiency Enhancement Shortens Investment Cycle

Automation upgrades are not merely cost investments; their core value lies in accelerating capital recovery through a leap in overall process efficiency.

Project schedule compression: Intelligent path planning reduces repetitive drilling, and continuous operation capabilities break through the physical limitations of manual labor.

The failure rate has decreased: The predictive maintenance system continuously monitors the wear of key components in real time, preventing unexpected shutdowns and the resulting delays in progress.

Optimization of resource utilization: The energy consumption management module dynamically adjusts power output to reduce diesel/electricity consumption.

After adopting the rock core drilling equipment from Shandong Bangxin, the average drilling cycle of each well has been shortened and the overall return rate of the project has been improved.
