About Scissortail

Built by pipeline people, for pipeline people.

We've Been Where You Are

Scissortail Technology was founded by inline inspection professionals who spent years deploying legacy AGMs on pig runs across North America. We watched SD cards fail, batteries die overnight, and operators waste entire days chasing boxes that couldn't report their own status.

We built the Geode because we needed it ourselves. Every design decision comes from real field experience — from the solar panel angle to the sensor placement to the cloud dashboard layout. This isn't a lab product. It's a field product, built by field people.

What We Believe

Field First

Every feature earns its place by surviving mud, rain, and a technician's boot. If it doesn't work at mile marker 47 in February, it doesn't ship.

Timestamp Integrity

A pig passage timestamp is worth millions in corrosion remediation. Our entire architecture protects the clock chain from NTP to RTC to cloud with sub-100ms precision.

Your Brand, Your Customer

We're a technology partner, not a competitor. White-label ready from day one. Your logo, your customer relationship. We stay behind the curtain and handle the hard stuff.

Technology Stack
