RigSystemens

RigSystemens is a term used to describe a modular platform for managing rigging systems across industrial, construction, and entertainment contexts. It integrates hardware, software, and communication layers to coordinate motion, sensing, and safety across a network of rigs and rig components. The platform emphasizes interoperability and scalability, allowing individual rigs to be configured as a cohesive system or operate independently.

The architecture of RigSystemens typically comprises three layers: field hardware, control and data processing, and enterprise-level software. Field hardware includes controller units, servo drives, actuators, sensors (position, force, vibration), and power management devices connected by industrial networks such as Ethernet/IP or CAN. The control layer runs firmware and local algorithms for motion control, safety interlocks, and real-time monitoring. The software layer provides configuration, visualization, data logging, analytics, and remote access for operators and engineers.

Key features include modularity, redundancy, and secure remote operation. The system supports plug-and-play addition of rigs, scalable data retention, and integration with existing factory or site IT ecosystems. Safety and compliance are central, with support for failure-mode analysis, interlocks, and alarms aligned with general industrial safety standards.

Common applications span offshore oil and gas drilling rigs, construction cranes and heavy lift rigs, as well as stage and film rigging where complex multi-point movement is required. See also Rigging systems, Industrial automation, SCADA.
