AVEVA

“It’s become a first line of defense for us as part of our maintenance strategy,” says Jonathan Vincent, Omya’s Regional Maintenance Manager for the Americas. “Using predictive analytics has helped us identify equipment issues almost three months ahead of time.”

“Using predictive analytics has helped us identify equipment issues almost three months ahead of time.”

““Coupling power and chemical systems is inherently complex. To avoid costly missteps, digital twins are essential—every failure must be traceable, turning setbacks into iterations toward the right solution.””

““We can do in one week something that, before, maybe months.””

““Most importantly, all of this is not my responsibility. It’s AVEVA’s responsibility. I have to configure the data, yes, but the responsibility to move the data—to Databricks in this case—is AVEVA’s.””

““The same process I showed you before, with all this complexity, we reduce to this. And most importantly, all of this,” said Valencia, gesturing at a diagram on screen of the new, cloud-native architecture, “is not my responsibility. It’s AVEVA’s responsibility. I have to configure the data, yes, but the responsibility to move the data—to Databricks in this case—is AVEVA’s.””

““We use the AVEVA PI System to help in the design of our future fleet. CSL is very serious in making battery-powered vessels. We have very big ambitions. We have used O2 to gather precise energy consumption for each kind of activity we’re doing in order to spec the ship properly. It will tell us exactly how many batteries we need. Exact footprint, etc.. Now we can build the ship. And furthermore, after the ship is connected, we can analyze the ship and know if it works or not and adjust for the next ship.””

“”We had a third party to vet the fuel savings on the first go of our deployment, which was 11 vessels in Canada. It was proven by a third party that we reduced over eight thousand tonnes of CO 2 in a year compared to previous levels. That’s a lot of CO 2 for doing the same thing.””

“”AVEVA PI System has the flexibility to connect with different systems, and we leverage this highly.””

““Imagine you can multiply that effect with a thousand. That is the vision. It's absolutely to scale it and to enable development in communities that would not have had it. It is going to be game changing.””

“Through digital transformation, we can clearly see real-time data across all production sites. We can also perform remote operations directly through the control platform, greatly reducing some higher-risk on-site operations. And because we can view real-time equipment status on the platform, the amount of routine inspection work has also been greatly reduced.”
