Key products and solutions
Siemens used DataOps provided by Cognite, including Cognite Data Fusion™, to enable real-time condition monitoring for Aker BP's Ivar Aasen onshore team.
1,300 hours saved due to smooth integration
400,000+ documents collected, read, and contextualized
20 billion data points available via one secure entry point
Aker BP granted Siemens access to all Ivar Aasen field data. Siemens pulled process data through their control system and most of the third-party equipment data bypassing the control system and going straight to the IMS.
However, there remained several other systems, usually inaccessible to Siemens, that held potentially valuable data, such as work orders, work permits, document systems, HMS information, etc. Combining these sources would vastly enrich their solution.
Siemens turned to Cognite, whose cloud-native industrial data platform was already in operation across Aker BP’s assets on the Norwegian continental shelf. Cognite Data Fusion™ offered the capability to collect, clean, and contextualize more various kinds of data automatically and without space limitations.
With Aker BP’s authorization, Siemens redirected their system to read the company’s data from Cognite Data Fusion™, including data types that had previously been outside of Siemens’s scope. For Ivar Aasen, this meant 150,000 time series, 20 billion data points, and more than 400,000 documents made available through a single, secure point of entry.
Siemens estimates that attempts to run point-to-point integrations with all the individual source systems and ingest their data would have taken about 1,500 hours. The process of integrating with Cognite Data Fusion™ alone—pulling in all the same data—took only 200 hours. And a lot of that time was actually spent looking at the data and deciding how best to visualize it.
Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and tested algorithms are what make the Siemens IMS visualizations intuitive and effective. With rapid access to live and historical data, regardless of original source or format, via a single point of entry, Siemens was ready to present their powerful processing, analysis, and display capabilities to Aker BP.
Armed with the power of prediction, Aker BP can also:
Especially in offshore environments, condition-based maintenance (and eventually, predictive maintenance) has the potential to revolutionize business models and boost bottom lines.
Manufacturing
Servi used Cognite Data Fusion® to build an application that reduces downtime by 30-50%, maintenance costs by 10-40%, and energy use and emissions by 10-20%.
Power and utilities
The solution will generate significant savings for Hafslund Eco by avoiding downtime.
Oil and gas
Data helped cut administrative work and improve maintenance planning processes.
