Downstream energy has an industrial data problem

Data is difficult to find, access, and use

Users waste a lot of time looking for the data they need due to disintegrated OT, IT, and ET digital and paper-based data sources and numerous isolated solutions.

Lack of context and trust in data

Inability to contextualize data and generate automated insights results in a lot of manual work and prevents users from catching hidden bottlenecks and having limited insights on how their plant is running.

Inability to scale solutions

Inability to scale solutions and workflow processes across teams and assets (e.g., maintenance activities, crude oil allocation, and scheduling), resulting in wasted time and resources and suboptimal productivity.

Improve operations visibility to reduce risks and increase throughout

Maximize the efficiency of your facility and reduce time to value by liberating and contextualizing the data from numerous disjointed IT, OT, and engineering data sources, and leverage Hybrid AI to perform real-time optimization via visualizations, simulators, and optimizers.

With Cognite Data Fusion®, plant operators can generate trusted insights from historical and real-time production and performance data, leverage guided recommendations, and access performance-enhancing advisors to detect, assess, and act on opportunities for reaching and expanding maximum throughput while identifying and addressing potential operational risks.

Enable data-driven maintenance and increase asset reliability

Create a holistic view (digital twin) powered by contextualized data and AI to run predictive analytics and effectively monitor the health of critical equipment.

Perform effective planning and execution of turnarounds and other maintenance activities to prevent unplanned shutdowns that can jeopardize plant and people's safety, production schedule, and increase the chance of environmental incidents. Access to all relevant data and insights in one place also enables operators to avoid siloed workflows, and improves collaboration and decision-making processes across departments.

Boost field workers’ safety and productivity and enable autonomous workflows

Equip operators and maintenance crew with instant access to relevant contextualized data from one place on any internet-enabled device, including live sensor data, historic equipment performance data, and essential documentation (e.g., work orders, P&IDs, maintenance logs, etc.).

Plus, interact with 3D models of installation and equipment, share pictures and notes instantly, and use computer vision to locate equipment tags and automatically provide related information.

Enable autonomous operations across your assets

Cognite Data Fusion® also supports autonomous operations by collecting and connecting the valuable data gathered by robots. Then it contextualizes that data with other existing data from IT, OT, and engineering systems, making that data available and understandable and keeping the information in the digital twin current and up to date.

Once robots are part of the data ecosystems, they can more effectively automate repetitive tasks, carry out remote inspections, maintenance, and repair jobs, and eliminate the need to travel to hazardous locations.
