Offshore operators face a growing crisis of operational blindness caused by fragmented, incompatible data ecosystems. Critical decision-making is compromised when vital information remains trapped across multiple disconnected systems from different vendors and contractors. Without a unified view, operators struggle to:

• Identify cross-system patterns that indicate potential failures
• Experience significant delays in troubleshooting when problems span multiple subsystems
• Deal with proprietary vendor formats that intentionally restrict comprehensive data access
• Navigate complex vendor politics where suppliers protect “their” data, creating barriers to complete operational visibility.
• Make decisions with incomplete information, increasing operational risk
• Integrate legacy systems with newer equipment using different protocols
  
  

These challenges create dangerous blind spots in operations, where potential problems develop undetected until they become critical failures. The cost of this fragmentation extends beyond inefficiency to genuine safety and environmental risks.

Tesla Subsea’s Data Acquisition (DAQ) system provides a vendor-neutral solution that receives data from multiple incompatible sources and protocols, creating a single historized dataset that eliminates these dangerous information silos while avoiding conflicts of interest between hardware suppliers.
