ACTx: Enhancing Core Orientation Confidence

Discover how IMDEX is redefining core orientation with the ACTx orientation tool, presented by Wernich Olivier, Operations Manager for the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region, at INDABA 2025.

In this product presentation, Wernich introduces the innovative features of the ACTx — a next-generation orientation tool that delivers near real-time data to geologists via the IMDEXHUB-IQ™, ensuring greater confidence and auditability of orientation lines on core samples.

The ACTx provides real-time feedback on the quality of each orientation run, allowing geologists to make informed decisions and avoid time-consuming rework. It strengthens the chain of custody and enhances data integrity across the drilling process. For drillers, the tool introduces significant safety improvements with no-break communication and eliminates the need to move the inner tube, leading to better accuracy and reduced risk.

Data from ACTx seamlessly syncs to IMDEX tablets and the IMDEXHUB, enabling additional functions such as commenting on drill runs and visualizing data quality through strip logs. The compact downhill unit is designed to work across multiple drill sizes, reducing equipment complexity in the field.

Whether you're a geologist, driller, or operations leader, ACTx is designed to save time, improve accuracy, and increase confidence in your orientation data.
