Abstract
A monitoring system includes an image sensor positioned about a rig, the image sensor directed at a drill string component positioned on the rig, and an onsite gateway communicably coupled to the image sensor and disposed proximate to the rig. The onsite gateway includes one or more processors, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the one or more processors and storing programming instructions for execution by the one or more processors. The programming instructions instruct the one or more processors to receive an image stream of the drill string component from the image sensor, identify an operating parameter of the drill string component, generate an operating condition of the drill string component, determine that the generated operating condition meets a failure threshold of the drill string component, and send an instruction to drive a controllable device.
