Product Overview
Overview
The Lavoro Platform is a fully integrated, device-agnostic, edge and cloud digitization solution for the oil & gas industry that delivers practical remote monitoring, analytics, control, and optimization capabilities. It is the alternative to point solutions and custom solutions that are difficult to scale and have higher lifetime costs than expected. Lavoro invested decades of software and energy industry knowledge into a platform of applications to empower operators to leverage data to its full potential so they can easily lower operating costs, increase production, and simplify workflows -- without any programming.
The Lavoro Platform encompasses the intelligent Lavoro Edge, the secure Lavoro Cloud, and robust applications that solve specific customer operational problems. The Foundation application bundle includes the building blocks to integrate, collect data, historize, visualize, control, automate, analyze, and optimize operations. Lavoro Production Management and Fluid Management bundles are available for specific upstream & midstream management capabilities. The Platform integrates seamlessly with existing automation assets, SCADA and back-office systems to make the most of existing investments.
With Lavoro, operators can go from simple thresholds triggering actions to complex autonomous closed-loop control on a single platform, accessible from any browser-enabled device, at the office or on the go. Data flows smoothly from the field to the enterprise to unlock unmatched productivity that is only possible when the right data gets to the right person at the right time.

Applications
Lavoro has combined applications that are typically used together into the bundles below. Lavoro Foundation provides the basic platform capabilities to which the other bundles are added depending on the problems to be solved.
Lavoro Foundation is a collection of applications that integrate, collect, historize, analyze, and disseminate operational information. Collected data is contextualized so it is meaningful to end-users and can also be shared with back-office systems. It includes the following Lavoro applications:
- Lavoro Historian provides unrivaled access to high resolution operational data at both the Edge and the Cloud while managing transport bandwidth and cost.
- Lavoro Insight adds meaning to your data and decreases the time required to make decisions using tools to visualize and analyze your operational data.
- Lavoro Monitor enables the Lavoro Edge to integrate with any device that speaks Modbus or E/IP protocols to monitor operations.
- Lavoro Alert provides real-time notification capabilities from the Lavoro Edge when specific customizable conditions are met.
- Lavoro Export allows you to easily move data from the Lavoro Historian to any other systems via MQTT, SQL db, email, or FTP.
Lavoro Production Management combines all the applications needed to improve wellsite operations, including visibility, control, automation, and optimization. It includes the following Lavoro applications:
- Lavoro Well is an application designed specifically for the oil and gas industry to provide visibility and reporting of individual functions on well sites. Includes Lavoro WellTest to automate and organize data for well tests.
- Lavoro Separator enables control, monitoring and alarming of separator operation at a production site.
- Lavoro Choke automates the control of electronically adjustable choke valves with automatic re-zero biasing and alarms on seat wear.
- Lavoro Plunger provides control and optimization of artificial lift wells utilizing plungers.
Lavoro Fluid Management provides companies with all data associated with moving fluid from one point to another. It accurately tracks fluid inflows and outflows from tanks and provides real-time and historic electronic ticket data for timely and accurate recording. It includes the following Lavoro applications:
- Lavoro Tank monitors the fluid levels of tanks and tank groups to provide level, interface, current volume, temperature, and inflow / outflow volumes. It uniquely supports both traditional flow meters and calculated “virtual metering”.
- Lavoro Ticket provides electronic transaction tickets containing all the process and transfer data associated with moving fluid from one point to another, supporting both simple allocation, LACT, and API 18.2 fluid custody transfer.
Lavoro Midstream Management provides companies with timely, accurate data capture and delivery for fluid custody transfers with ability to control LACT or other instruments virtually. It includes the following Lavoro applications:
- Lavoro Ticket provides electronic transaction tickets containing all the process and transfer data associated with moving fluid from one point to another, supporting both simple allocation and API 18.2 fluid custody transfer.
- Lavoro LACT monitors and controls any standard LACT unit with a flow computer using modbus communication.
Lavoro Cause & Effect allows you to define custom control logic to automate actions in your remote operations, beyond the specific controls already built into Lavoro applications, via a cause & effect style matrix without any programming.
