It is an Automation system. Safe Influx Automated Well Control system is capable of being integrated into a fully SIL 2 compliant Automatic Safety System, but globally, rig and well control equipment does not (currently) meet that standard, and thus without major upgrades to existing equipment the overall system could not be assessed as a Safety System at this time. The Driller still has full access to his existing BOP manual safety controls. The Automated Well Control system simply mimics his decision-making logic to get to the point of activating the existing safety system earlier and more reliably than a human can.
