SMART SHAKER ROOM
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- monitoring, using a monitoring tool, an amount of fluid containing one or more solids in a shaker;
determining one or more solids property, including at least one of a quantity, a texture, a color, a size, a physical property, a chemical property, and a mineralogical property of the one or more solids;
determining one or more fluid property, including at least one of a quantity, a color, a size, a physical property, and a chemical property of the fluid;
controlling, via a controller, an actuated arm to adjust a screen assembly in the shaker based at least in part on the one or more solids property and the one or more fluid property.

Abstract
This disclosure is generally drawn to systems, devices, apparatuses, and/or methods, related to monitoring a shaker used for separating solids from fluid. Specifically, the disclosed systems, devices, apparatuses, and/or methods relate to controlling an actuated arm to inspect, remove, replace, repair, clean, and/or install screen assemblies based on monitoring the shaker and its screen assemblies. In some examples, a system may include an actuated arm, a monitoring tool, and a controller. The actuated arm may be adjacent a shaker for separating one or more solids from a fluid. The monitoring tool may be coupled to the actuated arm and may monitor a screen assembly in the shaker. The controller may be in electrical communication with the actuated arm and the monitoring tool, and may control the actuated arm based on the monitoring of the screen assembly.

17. A system, comprising:
-
a control terminal adapted to control an actuated arm adjacent a shaker for separating solids from a fluid; and a camera operatively coupled to the actuated arm and in electrical communication with the control terminal, the camera adapted to produce a real-time image of the shaker and transmit the real-time image to the control terminal; wherein the control terminal controls the actuated arm to replace a screen assembly in the shaker based at least on the real-time image, the control terminal being at least one of controllable by a human operator and autonomous. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
