The many applications and benefits of Digital Twins in the different PLM phases
Regardless of the implemented project or the used management methodology, all projects can be separated into basic stages for a better understanding from their beginning to their end. This separation can be done through the PLM (Project Lifecycle Management), which serves to indicate each of these stages and facilitates the management of new or existing projects. PLM's functionality is also very valuable in industry, when analyzing, for example, the development of an industrial plant or the improvement of a process with new equipment. In this scenario, in search for greater efficiency in the operation, digital transformation allies itself to [...]
How to implement Asset Integrity Systems
Asset integrity management is a program that has been present in the most diverse industrial segments for some time now. The application of an AIM program is essential for the proper functioning of the operation, in addition to reducing risks to operators and providing the business profitability in the long term. In order for asset integrity systems to be implemented and managed, joint efforts between many areas of the company are necessary for their execution to be efficient. Both the company and the plant must provide the necessary resources for the implementation to be carried out [...]
Use data to your advantage in industrial operations
With the arrival of new technologies on the factory floor and the constant implementation of Industry 4.0 concepts and digitization of processes and operations, industries began to automate tasks generating valuable knowledge through data to gain performance. However, these industries have gigantic plants, and consequently, a lot of data. We know that in the moment of technological evolution in which we live, data is essential, and the trend is that gradually even more data is generated. Read: Secrets of Industry 4.0 However, the increase in information extraction generates a counterpoint within industries, which must be taken into [...]
How to manage assets in a smarter way
Asset integrity management is the discipline responsible for the continuity and security of an industrial operation. No matter the industry or its sector, having effective and efficient integrity strategies is a daily challenge that is very important for everyone involved in the operation. Asset integrity is the discipline responsible for ensuring the health of thousands of components in a plant, process, or machine. It is through it that the operation is fed with information about overload in specific elements, or loss of productive capacity. The management is also responsible for ensuring performance and identifying failure mechanisms. Having a good [...]
The evolution in Asset Integrity Management
The industries over the last few years have faced the growing importance of using digital systems aimed at the integrity of assets in their operation. The essentiality of the digitalization of this discipline for the maintenance of a continuous, safe process, with better performance indexes, is already known by many managers, and the implementation of new technologies that optimize the integrity of these assets is already part of the digital transformation of large companies. Read: Asset integrity the secrets behind management As much as the subject is already known by the industry, there are still many difficulties in adapting to [...]
Digital Twin is revolutionizing Asset Integrity activities in the industry – but how does it works?
Have you ever come across an article talking about how Digital Twin will change industries? The search for this technology is increasing among many industrial managers, especially the asset integrity ones, and software powered by this solution is the sector’s bet. Digital Twin History The Digital Twin was originally designed by Michael Grieves in 2002, to be used in industries Project Life-cycle Management (PLM). To simply define a Digital Twin, it is the digital representation of an existing object, with the ability to exchange data. In a real Digital Twin, all the data flows from the physical to [...]
Vidya presented in NACE European Corrosion Management!
Vidya had its paper approved and presented at the NACE European Corrosion Management Virtual Conference! This is an important moment for all of us, since our participation provided valuable networking opportunities, and other insights. NACE European Corrosion Management Virtual Conference The event by NACE International, the Worldwide Corrosion Authority, was focused on providing a unique look to the different management system domains, corrosion management best practices across multiple industry sectors, and advancements in corrosion mitigation technology. In that way, according to the event site: “Virtual Conference mimics the dynamics of a physical conference from entering the lobby, attending the sessions, [...]
Automate inspection activities with Vidya Software
Vidya was born with the premise of guaranteeing intelligent solutions for industries that needed greater control over the integrity of their industrial assets. It was thinking about the great challenges faced by the Oil and Gas, Petrochemical, and mining industries, that our team of integrity specialists developed the solution that has led large industries to achieve better results, with the optimization of processes that were previously done manually. VIDYA SOFTWARE AS A SOLUTION FOR BETTER RESULTS Vidya's software aims to ensure broad control over the integrity of industrial assets in plants with a high degree of complexity. Through [...]
Integrate Documents and PLM through Digital Transformation
Digital transformation can integrate the phases of the PLM (Project Life-Cycle Management) through documents and data automation, resulting in more effective results. Therefore, avoiding known problems, as a fragmented data system. I've talked more about the PLM in my last article, about Inventory, you can click here to access it. Piles of documents, technical drawings, and spreadsheets, were produced in the Design phase. However, until the Operation and Maintenance phase, crucial information can be lost. Therefore, the importance of keeping the entire process documented is that projects related and interdependent to each other don't get missing. Besides, the design project [...]
Learn how to manage your business remotely through Industry 4.0
Today, the world is experiencing a very delicate moment in its history with the pandemic of the new coronavirus. For security reasons, many companies had to suspend their operations, resulting in concern about the direction of the economy, and investing in digital technologies, as Industry 4.0. The industry is one of the fields that suffer most from this interruption of activities and it is not always possible to get around the situation through the Home Office. Although many sectors can manage their activities remotely, the main pillars of production can hardly do the job from home. This kind of situation [...]
