PigView Desktop: Reliable Field Pig Tracking, With or Without Internet
PigView Desktop is purpose-built for technicians working in remote pipeline environments where cellular, Wi-Fi, or satellite service may be unavailable or unreliable.
It provides a stable, long-range Bluetooth connection directly to APEX AGMs from a laptop in the truck, allowing operators to monitor pig passages, listen to geophone audio, view magnetic field waveforms, and download trip data without internet access.
When connectivity is restored, all collected data automatically synchronizes to PigView Web, eliminating manual steps, preventing data gaps, and ensuring field operations continue without interruption.
What Is PigView Desktop?
PigView Desktop is a local software application that allows users to connect directly to APEX AGMs via Bluetooth, retrieve pig tracking data, and manage field workflows without relying on continuous connectivity. It plays a critical role in ensuring that data collected in the field is not delayed, lost, or dependent on immediate cloud access.
Before PigView Desktop, connecting to APEX AGMs in the field required an Android device, forcing technicians to carry extra equipment and rely on ideal line-of-sight conditions. In remote areas without cellular or satellite service, real-time monitoring and data downloads were slow or limited, making pipeline pig tracking more complicated than it needed to be, especially when laptops were already available in the truck.

Our Products
Built for Real-World Field Operations
PigView Desktop is designed for the real conditions field teams face, including remote locations, limited connectivity, and time-sensitive operations. It gives technicians immediate access to critical AGM data in the field without relying on office systems or continuous network coverage.
Built specifically for real-world pipeline operations, PigView Desktop allows operators to use the laptops already in their trucks to connect directly to APEX AGMs through a stable, long-range Bluetooth connection of more than 300 feet. There is no need for additional hardware or external devices, just a reliable and direct link between the truck and the AGM.
Direct, Reliable Access to AGM Data
PigView Desktop connects directly to APEX AGMs from a laptop in the truck. Operators can retrieve data, check configurations, and validate pig passages in real time. Stable long-range Bluetooth ensures reliable communication in the field — without delays or extra devices.
Seamless Field-to-Office Data Flow
PigView Desktop works fully offline and automatically syncs to PigView Web when connectivity returns. No manual uploads. No data gaps. Field data is quickly available for post-run analysis and long-term integrity review across the PigView Software ecosystem.
