CDI Founded

After moving from Arkansas, Tony and Verne Farque founded the company along with their children Jason and Eric to pursue their dream to design quality electronics for clients.

1993

Entered the Pipeline Business

After more than a decade designing electronics for a variety of companies in the Tulsa area, CDI dedicates itself to pipeline pig tracking.

1995

Designed World's First GPS-Equipped AGM

In 1995, based upon their impression of CDI's pipeline pig tracking systems, CDI was contacted by Pipetronix in Stutensee, Germany to design an AGM. CDI proposed and Pipetronix approved a radical solution to time synchronization: GPS. GPS had only become fully operational in that same year.

1998

Designed World's First Through-Wall Communications System for Pipeline Plugs

In 1998 CDI was contracted by Phillips Petroleum, Norway, to design and manufacture the world's first through-wall communication and control system for untethered pipeline plugs. The system was deployed in the Ekofisk oil field that same year.

2005

Designed and Patented Non-Intrusive Pig Signalers

2005 saw the introduction of CDI's first non-intrusive pipeline pig passage signaler. This signaler system evolved into the various UL/CSA, ATEX and IECEx rated units that we continue to manufacture to this day.
