PACE: Processing and Collection Engine
Real-time data acquisition and processing for helideck and meteorological monitoring installations
PACE is a real-time data acquisition and processing platform from Muir Matheson, part of WISE Group.
It is in operational use on offshore platforms and vessels, where it collects, processes, displays and logs meteorological and motion data for helideck and environmental monitoring.
Support from WISE Group
WISE Group provides technical support, configuration and maintenance for PACE systems.
Support may include troubleshooting, configuration assessment, sensor and communication issues, historical data questions, software licence assistance, connectivity and upgrade planning.
The support required depends on the PACE version, computer hardware, operating system and system configuration. Browse PACE guidance.
What PACE does
PACE provides the local acquisition, processing and display functions within helideck and meteorological monitoring systems. Learn how PACE works.
Real-time data acquisition
Collects measurements continuously from connected meteorological and motion sensors.
Data processing
Validates measurements and calculates operational parameters such as mean wind speed, gusts, QFE and QNH.
Operator displays and alarms
Presents processed information on local and networked displays, with configured thresholds and alarm indications.
Historical logging and data forwarding
Records configured parameters for historical review and can forward selected data to supported external platforms.
Working with PACE
The right approach depends on the installation and the customer’s operational requirements.
Support and maintenance
Technical support, maintenance and configuration changes that keep a PACE system running as it should.
Remote access through Orbalux
PACE data can be forwarded to Orbalux to provide remote dashboards, historical access and controlled data sharing alongside the local system.
Hardware and system upgrades
When computer hardware, operating systems or requirements change, WISE Group scopes and delivers the upgrade.
WISE Group can review the installed sensors, interfaces, displays, reports and operational requirements before recommending the appropriate way forward.
Remote access
Connect PACE data to Orbalux
Orbalux is WISE Group’s cloud platform for dashboards, historical access and controlled data sharing.
PACE systems can forward selected processed data to Orbalux through an approved outbound connection, adding remote dashboards and data sharing alongside the local system.
The available integration method depends on the PACE version, system configuration, network connectivity and customer cybersecurity requirements. Read about PACE and Orbalux integration.
