Prior to commencement of autonomous drilling, the bench needs to be prepared in such a way that safe and uninterrupted operations can take place
Prior to commencement of autonomous drilling, the bench needs to be prepared in such a way that safe and uninterrupted operations can take place. Several processes are conducted in sequence, leading to a completed autonomous drilling bench. Each process must be completed to industry and site-specific standards before subsequent processes can be started.
