Small-File Writing Performance on Energy Exploration Data Collection
Introduction
The recent technological improvements have resulted in daily generation of massive datasets in energy exploration and production industries. It has been reported that managing these datasets is a major concern among energy exploration companies.
Our customer is a leading provider of vibrational technology solutions that deliver the situational awareness for energy exploration, security, and industrial Iot application. They provide robust, hardened geophysical seismic data acquisition systems that perform in the most austere environments. UDinfo cooperates with the engineering team to support customized MicroSD card solutions to deliver cost-effective and reliable storage technology solutions in seismic devices for energy exploration.
Challenges
• Data transfer speed should not be below 300ms with sustainedly small-file writing (6K bytes)
Solutions
• Customized Firmware to optimize the performance of small-file writing.
Results
With the customized firmware, its stable performance helps customers to do better data collection and further data analysis in order to minimize downtime and refining equipment maintenance costs, boosting asset management.
Our customer was so impressed they asked would like to have this customized Firmware to be updated into 1000s of MicroSD cards for the\ field while these MicroSD cards are already installed in the system. UDinfo provided the Firmware tool and a customized card reader for the Firmware update. Thus, the customer can follow the instructions to accomplish Firmware update locally and efficiently.
