The grA+de - Autonomous Dull Bit Forensic Scanner is a cutting-edge, AI-driven system designed for precise and automated dull bit grading. It provides objective, third-party evaluation of drill bits with metrological repeatability in the order of 1/1000” (25.4µm).
With the push of a button, the system processes images and autonomously grades the entire bit, cutter by cutter, generating high-resolution, manipulatable 3D visualizations. The system outputs legacy IADC coding, along with supplemental data such as remaining % diamond volume, % cutter volume, and % diamond surface area. Three different heat map wear analyses provide additional insights.
Key benefits include:
Eliminates human inconsistencies in dull bit grading
Enhances drilling optimization by identifying dysfunction and reducing cutter damage
Prolongs bit and BHA life by maximizing wear management
Improves quality control through reliable and repeatable measurements
Enables data-driven decision-making with downloadable .csv datasets
By removing the uncertainties of human judgment, the grA+de system offers unparalleled accuracy and consistency in forensic bit evaluation, making it an essential tool for drilling performance auditing, quality control, and bit design optimization.
