Disclosed herein is a system including a wellsite controller. The wellsite controller receives workflow inputs such as wellsite details and communications settings, generates a local configuration entry including the workflow inputs, sensor configuration information about wellsite sensors connected to the controller, and a unique identifier for the controller. The unique identifier is based upon the workflow inputs, the sensor configuration information, and location information for the wellsite. The controller generates a registration message from the local configuration entry. A server receives the registration message, and compares the unique identifier to a store of known identifiers. If the unique identifier does not match one of the known identifiers, the server recognizes the controller as being newly added, adds the wellsite to a monitoring system of the server by creating an entry for the wellsite from the registration message, and attempts to map the wellsite sensors to the entry for the wellsite.
