Overview

Learn about building a better, more efficient digital way for all workers to operate, maintain, and work in the process industry through digital technology. Make sense of the data locked in P&IDs and other CAD drawings to solve operational and engineering challenges. And then use software to integrate the various plant data silos into data-driven P&IDs to drive compliance and operational efficiency. This pairs the foundations of plant data systems with the digital twin type tools to deliver powerful, real-world visualizations of all assets at the facility to all plant workers with a modern digitisation platform.

Use cases include, easier data access for:

• Turnaround and project planning
• Project execution
• Operations
• Maintenance
• Engineering
