Client benefits will include:
- Reduced engineering and design hours to deliver brownfield modification designs and work packs
- Real-time access to information to de-risk modification projects
- Easy access to historical vendor information including datasheets, flow sheets, and arrangement drawings to reduce time-cost of searching for data, as well reduce site visits for the engineering and design team
- A framework for true remote engineering support to coordinate with onsite asset facility management
- Long-term change control to ensure digital twins are maintained as facilities are updated
“We believe the strongest end-to-end solutions require collaboration. We are thrilled to collaborate with Arion to make data more accessible and meaningful for engineering and operations teams, and unlock additional value for the entire life cycle of operations,” said Trygve Rønningen, Group COO & EVP Operations for Cognite North America.
