Refinery Monitoring & Surveillance
The Refinery Monitoring & Surveillance solution is an offering that combines proprietary edge software, a cloud-native batch and near real-time data store, and a data visualization platform. The solution forms the foundation of our customer's ability to access and manage their disparate sources of refining and petrochemical industrial data. By standardizing how data is brought into the cloud from operations infrastructure and storing data in a centralized repository, this solution creates the foundation necessary for customers to drive business critical workloads for market competitiveness. Contextualized datasets are readily accessible to engineering and analytical applications, enabling high-value initiatives including process optimization, predictive equipment maintenance, process planning, and GHG emissions management.
Specifically, the Refinery Monitoring & Surveillance solution delivers the following capabilities for the customer:
- Ingestion of disparate operational technology (OT) data, field and engineering technical data, and business line information data within a plant into a single, cloud-native data repository
- Consistent user access for various personas to centralized and standardized data
- Flexibility on choice of visualization and analysis platforms for engineering workloads compared to incumbent single vendor lock-ins
The Refinery Monitoring & Surveillance solution unlocks value by enabling organizations to address key challenge areas
Outcomes customers see
