A semi-autonomous system…
…designed for safety and efficiency.
Prolog System features a semi-automated control technology, designed to support operators while ensuring a high level of on-site safety.
Why semi-autonomous?
Because safety comes first. At all times, the team remains in control of operations. The built-in intelligence can be instantly deactivated by the lead driller if human intervention is deemed necessary. This approach ensures that the operator maintains full control, especially during sensitive phases such as rod changes.
Targeted and controlled autonomy
The activation of intelligent assistance is entirely in the hands of the drilling team. It is only triggered by the crew leader. Specific operations like rod changes or technical adjustments are deliberately kept under the direct control of the on-site team.
This hybrid approach leverages artificial intelligence without relying on it, enhancing human expertise while reinforcing safety, precision, and operational efficiency.
Adapted to the diversity of geotechnical missions
Geotechnical programs are often complex and varied: core drilling, casing, augering, and more. That’s why autonomous mode is only activated for so-called “reference” boreholes—those where the repeatability and consistency of the technical gesture make automation relevant to obtain enriched borehole logs. For all other cases, human intervention remains at the heart of the process.
Prolog System is not designed to replace humans.
Artificial intelligence is deployed only where it brings true added value—never at the expense of on-site expertise. Above all, it’s an intelligent assistance tool, designed to enhance data accuracy and productivity in geotechnical operations while ensuring job site safety.
