Pulling against closed BOP rams can cause damage to equipment and the pipe.

In some cases, parting the pipe can result in a blowout that endangers lives, the rig and the well.

The Rigsmart BOP Safety Interlock warns the driller when rams are closed, and prevents pulling against closed rams by overriding the rig throttle.

The Rigsmart BOP system has prevented incidents from occurring during shift changes and work stoppage.

BOP manager stations can be used to close rams from the wellsite supervisor office, eliminating cable runs that cross the work site.
