DullSight - Automated Dull Bit Grading
Grades wear on photographs of every returned bit in minutes, using existing grading codes, and matches damage to downhole shock records.

The Challenge
Engineers hand-grade ~26,860 returned bits a year, so grading varies by shop and the cause of damage is argued, not evidenced. Warranty answers take weeks and design feedback arrives late.
How It Works
- Ingests bit photos with grades, repair records, Mitigator shock data and BitHub run history.
- Vision models grade wear to existing codes and match patterns to recorded downhole shocks.
- Delivers a damage map, cause explanation, drafted warranty reply and design-change note.
What It Removes
- Hand-grading of ~26,860 returned bits a year
- Grades that vary shop to shop
- Warranty questions open for weeks
Input Data RequirementsBit photographs with existing wear grades, shop repair records, Mitigator shock/vibration data, BitHub run history, ULTCAD design records
Output FormatWear grade and damage map per bit, cause explanations, drafted warranty replies, ranked design improvements
“Every bit graded the same way in minutes, with the cause explained in evidence - not argued.”
