The Laser Pipe Tally System by Digi-Tally, Inc. provides a complete battery operated mobile field pipe tally system for use at the job site, in pipe yards, or in manufacturing facilities. The length of each pipe joint is measured using an advanced class II eye safe laser and the data is processed on a mobile field controller.

The Digi-Tally unit rests on the pipe with a rugged alignment support and is equipped either with our unique top thread locator (patented) for “threadsoff” joint tallies or our pipe end locator for “threads on” tallies. The visible red laser spot is bright and visible on the target at the far end of the pipe.
Tally measurements are recorded and stored on a rugged mobile field controller which offers several methods of transferring data after a job has been completed.
Perform the tally, then automatically create a complete text based report that can be printed, viewed, and saved electronically for future reference. The tabulated tally data can also be sent to inventory management systems and drilling programs for paperless record keeping.

Key Benefits & Unique Features

• Reliable non-contact operation…NO moving parts, NO
cables to wear, stretch, or get snagged
• Repeatable measurements between operators
• Automatic data acquisition… eliminate data recording and
transcription errors
• Ultra-fast measurements
• Only one instrument needed for pipe lengths in excess of
100 feet
• Measurement accuracy to 5/1000 feet (.005 feet)
• Read pipe length without removing conventional stripping
• Automatic report generation on command
• Auto detection system alerts operators of potential length
anomalies when generating reports
• Download reports electronically or print to a mobile Bluetooth
printer for an immediate report in the field
• Reports can be used in any text editor and in most spreadsheet
applications

Acquiring Pipe Tally Measurements

Pipe tally measurements are clearly displayed on the touch screen field controller. Operators have the ability to confirm the reading before adding the value to the current pipe tally.

In the event that an operator error is made, users can manually edit a measurement or acquire a new
measurement via the laser system.

Generating A Pipe Tally Report

A complete listing of all jobs appears on the controller. You can sort these jobs via several parameters, such as date or customer.

Select the job you need to create a report for by simply clicking the radio button to the left. It is also possible to edit a job’s tally data in case an error was made during the tally.

The Digi-Tally Report application incorporates an auto-check routine and alerts the user of any anomalies
in joint length. The bar plot of joints also provides a visual indication of length irregularities prior to generating the report.
