inVision™ software technology includes a remote operations dashboard that visualizes critical completion data to help users reduce risk, lower cost, and improve uptime. The real-time, configurable digital display, a virtual window into all onsite operations, is accessible on wellsite tablets and on desktop computers in the office. Visualizing valve placement, well activity status, and an operational Digital Handshake™ log capturing frac, wireline, and pressure control activity data helps reduce human error and improves decision-making.
The inVision™ Technology Platform features a robust data acquisition and control system, iHub, the digital completion technology brain at the wellsite for hydraulic fracturing and wireline operations. The latest innovation for the platform is the ability to leverage the infrastructure provided by IWS to implement operator-driven analytics on the Edge or in the Cloud. iHub delivers field-proven data acquisition, storage, bi-directional sync, Edge computing power, and open infrastructure to implement inVision processes and proprietary operator algorithms. Operator algorithms may be combined with frac, wireline, and pressure control job data for customized workflows, threshold alerts, and other analytical applications.

The inVision Technology Platform sensors include:
- Valve position sensors enabling digital verification of valve position to eliminate manual visual inspection.
- Valve handle position sensors giving users a visual representation of the wellhead valve alignment by measuring the position of the control valve handle.
- Pressure sensors on the backside of each well that detect when frac pressure exceeds frac threshold pressure to prevent users from unlocking the wrong valves.
- Wireline spools that detect the presence of wireline in the well and prevent users from unlocking valves that may cut wireline.
inVision engineered controls use safety interlock signals to offer operators and service companies an unmatched ability to prevent closing valves on wireline or frac and to safely operate hydraulically actuated valves. Hydraulic valve lockouts prevent accidental well shut-ins and include a visual indicator of valve position, and digital and manual emergency bypasses.
If a wellsite user requests access to a well and the inVision software detects wireline in the hole or active frac pressure, the request is disabled. If the system detects it is safe and the request is approved, a three-way Digital Handshake is initiated and conducted over inVision tablets. Each user enters their unique pin code and the process is executed and recorded. If an unsafe condition is detected at any time, the inVision system locks out the relevant valves, notifies the user, and unlocks once safe conditions have been met.
The inVision track record of helping to complete 33,000 stages without incident has allowed IWS to implement best practices and technology options that can be tailored to each operator’s needs.
When considering digital completions technology to improve performance, insist on these best practices:
- Rig up with proactive safety measures in less than 8 hr
- Multiple operator and servco personnel can perform better with <1 hr training
- Digital lock-outs/tag-outs fully customized to the operating procedure
- Customizable engineered controls with pressure, wireline, and valve position sensors
- Valve position sensors with unlock sequencing
- Digital Handshake approval process
- Customizable displays: well control state, all servco data, activity identification, etc.
- Remote operations with a customized dashboard showing real-time job and data visuals
- Digital standard operating procedure (SOP) compliance
- Consistent meta/data model with time series data regardless of third-party vendor
Compare the difference our proven inVision Technology Platform best practices can make to your completion operations, and you’ll see significant risk reduction, lower cost, and improved uptime.
