Understanding Asset Integrity Management and its Importance
Asset Integrity Management, also represented by AIM, is the ability of an industrial asset to perform its function precisely and efficiently, with optimal lifetime and proper safety. Asset management is necessary from the design stage to the end of an asset's useful life. All stages of the process must be taken into account so that there is efficient management without major risks to the environment, people, and the industrial installation of which they are a part. In this blog, we will explore the major challenges of Asset Integrity Management and how the Oil and Gas industry is facing the [...]
Digital Twin for Renewable Grid Optimization
The world is moving toward a renewable energy production model. This transition is part of a series of measures adopted in order to break energy dependence on polluting sources. The concerns generated from the effects of global warming have made clean energy a source of supply option in many countries around the world. However, there is still a large gap in the operation and management of these sources on a large scale. In this article, we will highlight the key challenges of energy transition and how Digital Twin technology can bridge this gap and enable large-scale [...]
How you are going to become a reference through Digital Twin
Industries are currently experiencing a strong moment of disruption and digitalization in their operations as a result of digital transformation. The technologies emerging after Industry 4.0 have not only revolutionized the industry, but also brought to the fore a question frequently asked among managers: Which technologies do I really need? And the answer to that question can be quite surprising! Industries & Digital Transformation Hundreds of technologies that promised to revolutionize industrial operations have become popular and have made their way into the sector generating an ever-growing amount of data. However, having digital technologies in the midst [...]
Energy transition is possible through technology
The energy transition is one of the most important agendas for the industrial sector in order to contain the advance of global warming. But how can this be done feasibly? The need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has been highlighted in recent months around the world. The role of the industrial sector in this change is to transform its operations so that energy dependence on non-renewable sources is eradicated. The task is far from simple and requires time and investment to actually get it done. However, from the digital transformation and its technologies, industries have the opportunity to [...]
The energy transition in industries is a necessity of now
Finding solutions for energy transition within industrial plants is a necessity that requires action. This need is the result of the race in search of industrial operations so that they do not emit greenhouse gases, being compliant with what we call ESG (Environmental - Social - Governance) strategies. The subject has gained importance in recent years. Governments try to ease the way for a change of operation aiming at the goal of containing the advances of global warming and climate change on the planet. Reducing costs and changing policies on the subject was the starting point [...]
Why industries must change their energy source
To reduce the environmental impact of our industries, switching energy sources is necessary. In recent years, this agenda has gained considerable prominence along with the demand for ESG (Environmental - Social - Governance) operations. The goal is to zero carbon emissions in the industrial sector by the year 2050 through the application of technology and especially the change of energy sources to renewable sources with a lower environmental impact. The issue of decarbonization comes to the fore amid a period where technology and digital transformation have dramatically changed the way industries operate. The digitization movement allows these industries to [...]
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 [...]
Big Data and Artificial Intelligence: Revolution in data extraction
The digital transformation was a period of many changes for industries with the rise of many innovative technologies that have gained application within industrial plants. However, it was due to various technologies coming from an area of knowledge called Big Data that the technological revolution began to gain new proportions. Understand how digital transformation has brought new opportunities for the intelligent use of large masses of data by digitizing processes by reading an article that will revolutionize your understanding of the subject. Click and read! In a new digital era where Digital Twin, IoT sensors, and Artificial Intelligence algorithms [...]
Smart factories and their continuous search for optimization
Each year new technologies become more present in our lives and routines. This technological advance has caused a strong disruption in the most varied sectors, including the industrial one. From the 4.0 industry technologies such as IoT, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Big Data, started to become popular and gain space among the most varied industrial processes. These technologies were some of the factors responsible for the disruption of the sector, which previously performed tasks and activities manually, and which, afterwards, managed to embark these technologies within its processes in search of greater agility, precision, and control over many variables. Although [...]
Artificial Intelligence as an alternative for the Oil and Gas sector
The oil and gas sector has been one of the main responsible for the production of energy since the invention of diesel engines, and which has been constantly dealing with strong obstacles thanks to the rise of technologies that have been replacing the use of oil as fuel. In addition to this obstacle, the huge drop in the price of a barrel of oil in 2020 forced this sector to adapt to a new scenario, where the saving of resources with the objective of reducing costs and gaining performance becomes essential for maintaining the functioning of these industries on the [...]
