In their own words
Plant maintenance planning requires the collection of drawings, operating data, and past maintenance history. Until now, we had to rely on our personal experience and skills to search multiple systems to find the data, which was time-consuming, but with Cognite Data Fusion®︎, the desired data can be accessed by simply clicking on the P&ID, so even young facility engineers can use it intuitively, We have seen an improvement in work efficiency in the field.

To tell the truth, contextualization was the most challenging task for us. Naming rules such as DCS tags, P&ID abbreviations, asset official names in ERP are totally different in every system, every unit, and every site. It was like we were trying to identify the match among one million assets in an impossible memory game. However, Cognite Data Fusion® helped us connect those complex data.
