Introducing LoggerSuite 13.7
Enhancing Borehole Operations with Powerful New Features
February 13th, 2025
We are excited to announce the release of LoggerSuite 13.7, designed to enhance your productivity and deliver even greater value to your projects. This latest version introduces two transformative tools tailored to meet your needs and streamline your workflows. These enhancements reflect our commitment to innovation and providing solutions that help you achieve your goals more efficiently.
Import/Export a Winch Configuration
The ability to import and export winch configurations has been added into LoggerSuite 13.7 (Figure 1). Clients can now easily save, share, and reuse winch configurations across different projects or team members, eliminating the need for manual reconfiguration every time. This reduces setup time, allowing faster deployment in the field. Other benefits are summarised below:
Consistency and Accuracy.
By importing standardised winch settings, users ensure consistent configurations across multiple operations, reducing the risk of human error and ensuring precise tool-to-acquisition system alignment.
Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing.
Teams can export configurations to share with colleagues, contractors or other sites. This feature fosters better collaboration, especially for organisations with multiple field teams or remote operations.
Ease of Troubleshooting and Support.
When issues arise, users can export their configurations to share with support teams or technical experts. This enables quick diagnostics and resolution, minimising downtime.
Project Documentation and Compliance.
Exported configurations serve as a reliable record for project documentation, quality assurance, and compliance with operational standards, ensuring traceability and accountability.

Depth Warning Customisation
The new Depth Alert System is designed to provide proactive, real-time notifications to safeguard your tools and enhance operational precision. Whether you’re approaching the surface or a user-defined critical depth, this intelligent feature keeps you informed with audible alerts, visual cues, and customisable settings, so you can focus on what truly matters: efficient and safe data acquisition (Figure 2). Here's how this feature could benefit LoggerSuite further:
Enhanced Operation Safety.
The audible beep and blinking depth notifications provide timely alerts, reducing the risk of tool collisions or damage as it approaches the surface or a user-defined critical depth. With the option to specify up to two depths and a time delay, users can tailor
the alert system to suit specific operational needs, ensuring tools are safely managed in varying conditions.
Improved logging Efficiency.
The system checks the logging direction and only activates alerts when the tool is approaching a critical depth, avoiding unnecessary interruptions or false alarms.
Increased Precision.
Notifications based on the tool's speed (e.g., 100 m/min) ensure alerts are timely and relevant, giving operators enough time to react before reaching critical depths. The alert is recurring every second during the final approach, providing operators with precise, real-time updates as the tool nears the target.
Customisation for Diverse Needs.
The ability to specify time delays and depth ensures flexibility, making the feature adaptable for different tools, environments, and operational strategies.
