Originally, digital hardware involved self-intelligent machines with complex software and electronics. Today, however, intelligence doesn't need to reside in hardware. Any device connected to the cloud can accomplish sophisticated tasks. At Schlumberger, we leverage both edge and cloud technologies to make our products smarter.

In this interview, Eric Lavrut, vice president engineering, discusses how Schlumberger is integrating digital hardware into its entire portfolio. With contextual examples, he explains what digital hardware technology means for Schlumberger, what makes digital hardware intelligent, how digital hardware improves operations, and much more.
