IBM Consulting Oil & Gas Industrial Digital Twin Platform

IBM Oil & Gas Industrial Digital Twin Platform is a process intelligence solution for oil, gas, and refining operators. It addresses common refinery challenges such as fragmented operations, lack of plant-wide visibility, delayed production insight, and hidden equipment degradation. The platform consolidates operational data across assets and systems into a unified 3D plant view, enabling operators, plant directors, and maintenance teams to monitor live conditions from a single interface instead of navigating across disconnected DCS environments.

The solution includes a multi-threshold alert engine that ranks plant-wide events by severity so teams can quickly identify and respond to the highest-risk issue. An embedded AI assistant enables engineers to query live equipment status, alert history, and recommended actions in natural language, reducing dependence on specialist knowledge and improving operational responsiveness.

For asset reliability, the platform supports predictive maintenance by applying machine learning models to detect early degradation patterns and forecast when critical equipment may breach thresholds. This gives planners lead time to schedule maintenance, prepare spare parts, and reduce unplanned shutdowns. The solution is built on secure AWS infrastructure and leverages services such as Amazon Bedrock, Amazon SageMaker, Amazon ECS Fargate, AWS Lambda, Amazon RDS, Amazon S3, Amazon CloudFront, Amazon API Gateway, AWS Secrets Manager, and Amazon CloudWatch.
