RigER’s 2026 award for Most Innovative Development goes to Spraberry Production Services. Together, Spraberry and RigER built a process to track the usage of water hoses. Spraberry also adopted new AI technology that reads handwritten field tickets and helps create digital tickets in RigER.
Our client awards are a small way to thank the people who put RigER to work, in the field and in the office.
Who Spraberry Production Services is
Spraberry Production Services works mainly in water management and pumping services. Its crews deploy miles of flexible hose to transfer water.
Tracking how that hose is used was the focus of the first project.

Why Spraberry won Most Innovative Development
Spraberry earned the award with two achievements, one in the field and one in the office.
In the field, Spraberry’s crews deploy miles of flexible hose to transfer water. Our two teams worked together on a process, a hardware integration with RFID tags and an app to track the usage of each hose.
In the office, Spraberry adopted new AI technology that reads handwritten field tickets. The billing team reviews the AI output, and then the digital ticket is created in RigER.
Tracking water hoses by segment with RFID tags
The first project focused on tracking the usage of water hoses.
Our two teams worked on it together. The result is a process and a hardware integration with RFID tags, which will be used to identify the hoses by segment. We also created an app to track the usage of each hose.
To learn how RigER works with tags in general, read about RigER Digital IDs, our module for RFID, barcode, QR and NFC tags.
Turning handwritten field tickets into digital tickets with AI
Spraberry’s second achievement was adopting new AI technology that reads a handwritten field ticket and parses the information on it.
Here’s how the process works:
- The handwritten field ticket is scanned into RigER.
- The AI reads the ticket and parses the information on it.
- Spraberry’s billing team reviews the output.
- The digital ticket is created in RigER.
The review step is part of the process. The AI does the reading, and Spraberry’s billing team checks the result before the digital ticket is created.
Two projects, one from the field and one from the office
The first project started with hose in the field. The process, the RFID integration and the app came out of joint work by our two teams.
The second project started with paperwork in the office: handwritten tickets that had to become digital tickets in RigER, with the billing team reviewing the AI output before the digital ticket is created.
We enjoy working on projects like these with our clients. If your team still works with paper tickets, our guide to moving from paper to digital field tickets is a good place to start.
Congratulations to the Spraberry Production Services team, and thank you for challenging us to build something new.
