Devico is a Norwegian company that develops and produces directional drilling equipment. Devico is primarily targeted towards the mining industry and their products are used worldwide. Positioning, and more generally, borehole trajectory estimation is an important part of directional drilling, but it is not a trivial task. GPS or WIFI cannot be used because the signals cannot reach the drill rod. Instead one has to rely on inertial navigation sensors: accelerometers, gyros and… Show more Devico is a Norwegian company that develops and produces directional drilling equipment.

Positioning, and more generally, borehole trajectory estimation is an important part of directional drilling, but it is not a trivial task. GPS or WIFI cannot be used because the signals cannot reach the drill rod. Instead one has to rely on inertial navigation sensors: accelerometers, gyros and magnetometers. Hence, most products from Devico contain electronics that include one ore more of these sensor categories.Devico is constantly seeking to improve its products and to develop new products. The R&D / electronics group is a natural contributor to this development. Show less
