Abstract

A method may include receiving a plurality of datasets from devices in a resource extraction site. The method may also involve identifying workflow systems associated with one or more operations of the devices. The method may also involve determining updated operational parameters for the devices based on the workflow systems and the plurality of datasets and generating one or more commands for implementing the one or more updated operational parameters for the one or more devices. The method may then include sending the commands to the devices, wherein the devices are configured to adjust the operations based on the updated operational parameters.
