“The oil and gas industry has been confronted with price volatility challenge in recent years coupled with increasing production costs. In view of these challenges, digitalization has been recognized as a powerful conduit for refiners and petrochemical producers to increase value through improved operational efficiency and sustainability.
Adi Aviantoro, Indonesia Business Leader of Dassault Systèmes, stated that there are unexploited potentials of digital technology in the oil and gas industry. Partial and single solution application in a refinery company may cause huge potential loss.
“By not investing in digitalization may cause a huge long term risk,” he said. Hence, adoption of digital platform is required by companies to help deal with new challenges and help secure long term profitable growth.
Digital technology in refinery and petrochemical plants is currently applied in limited areas. Adi said that artificial intelligence, machine learning, robots, big data and self-tuning online model offer many possibilities. These new technologies can help workers to do maintenance works in risky areas.
To achieve digital maturity and sustainability, companies has to implement all aspects of digital spectrum, such as Asset Lifecycle Management, Operational and Maintenance, Planning and Scheduling, Optimized Supply Chain, and training for both new and experienced employees.
Hence, Dassault Systèmes offers a unique platform-based approach for digital transformation. The first phase is connecting the application and factory data. The interconnectivity facilitates the collaboration between data and business processes.
Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform takes digitalization programs to a new level, by creating a 3D virtual ‘twin’ or replica of the dynamics and elements of the physical plant; infused with the digitized apps and data, which will be connected to the business processes in automated workflows.
By integrating and mapping all apps, data and business processes in the multi-dimensional virtual environment, Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE ‘twin’ brings a ‘Single Source of Truth’ for all the plant’s operations and multidisciplinary teams. Because humans are naturally visual and used to navigating the world in 3D, such an approach is the most powerful way to enhance new levels of collaboration and planning amongst people and business processes.
Adi said that 3DEXPERIENCE provides on-demand data analytics to transform large volumes of multi-source data into meaningful, real-time intelligence information to help make better decisions. It mines the previous data inputted and foresees possible situations and risk, while developing predictive models to explore every possible alternative. “The 3DEXPERIENCE interprets the results and data to arrive at meaningful decisions that impact the business,” he said.
The 3DEXPERIENCE platform improves project governance as all multidisciplinary teams across the facilities collaborate utilizing the same set of data. By consolidating and analyzing data from multiple sources onto one platform, the company is empowered to minimize unplanned downtime, plan, optimize, and schedule resources to improve overall plant efficiency.
