  • •CruxOCM joins the PODS Association to influence pipeline data standards.
  • •Inconsistent elevation records previously delayed deployment efforts.
  • •Standardized data is expected to enhance automation and reduce verification time.

CruxOCM, an industrial autonomy software company, announced its membership in the Pipeline Open Data Standard (PODS) Association on October 20, 2026. This membership allows CruxOCM to influence the development of the PODS data model, which is crucial for organizing and managing pipeline asset data. The decision was influenced by CruxOCM's experience with inconsistent elevation records during a deployment on a West Texas pipeline, which necessitated extensive manual verification. Vicki Knott, CEO of CruxOCM, emphasized that standardized data would expedite the automation of pipeline operations. CruxOCM's pipeBOT™ automates liquid pipeline operations and relies on accurate hydraulic models, which are affected by the quality of elevation data. By joining PODS, CruxOCM aims to help its customers achieve faster production timelines by reducing manual verification processes.
