APEX Above Ground Marker
APEX AGM enables remote pig tracking, live geophone audio, simple downloads and historical records management over the internet.
Propipe APEX above ground marker is an ultra-reliable, accurate and easy to use intelligent above ground marker (AGM) that enables live remote tracking of pigs with Trident EM transmitters, magnets, or acoustically with a geophone input. The APEX allows live data to be streamed to any online device, either locally or worldwide. Users who pair these devices with our unique intelligent EM transmitters, can build an entire system that tracks, logs, collects and processes pipeline data from in-situ pigs easily, seamlessly and live.
The APEX above ground marker relies on digital signal processing methods to provide robust and false-alarm free passages. Geophone data is streamed to the cloud using the embedded cellular connection or satellite radio. Pigs can be tracked live and remotely through our web-based portal PigView-Web.
Live Remote Pig Tracking
Track live and get real time and historical passage data over the internet using our web-based software portal PigView-Web. Reduce costs and time by capturing live pig tracking information remotely and download and store all historical records in the cloud. View real time sensor data or listen to geophone audio wherever there is an internet connection available.
Setup and Configure with your Mobile Device
Use Pigview-Mobile to configure and stream data from any AGM, receiver or transmitter from Propipe. AGMs can be programmed to detect any frequency Trident EM transmitter or permanent magnets while live ELF and magnetic data can be streamed live directly to a phone or tablet. PigView-Mobile turns any AGM device into a digital wireless geophone or wireless ELF receiver.
