Abstract: As the geotechnical, civil engineering and mining sectors embark on their digital transformation, web- and cloud-based solutions are becoming essential. The amount of data available is now vast, and a major challenge, in addition to the sheer volume of data, lies in the diversity of proprietary formats used by data acquisition systems, particularly MWD (Measurement While Drilling) loggers, making interoperability with other applications difficult. Drawing on 40 years' experience in the field of borehole instrumentation, LIM has developed the BOR (Borehole Open Recording) format, which responds to this problem by offering a standardized and compressed structure, consisting of an XML file for static metadata and one or more netCDF files for dynamic data. A dedicated library enables BOR files to be decompressed, analyzed and converted into formats such as JSON, DIGGS or AGS, all of which are readable and widely used. This standardization not only facilitates data interpretation between stakeholders, but also paves the way for enhanced operational monitoring - including equipment metrics such as fuel consumption or location - enabling proactive maintenance strategies and improved decision-making.
