Strategic Collaboration for Improving Real-time Data Gathering
otalEnergies and Emerson’s Aspen Technology have reached an agreement on a new strategic partnership with regard to employing cutting-edge digital solutions at TotalEnergies’ industrial sites. The project aims at acquiring industrial data on a continual and real-time basis. Additionally, applying artificial intelligence at TotalEnergies will be an objective of this collaboration.
Deploying AspenTech Inmation™ Across Industry Sites
As a part of this collaboration, TotalEnergies will deploy Emerson’s AspenTech Inmation™, an industrial data fabric solution, at a global scale. This solution ingests millions of real-time data points on a constant basis and allows them to be centrally accessed and secured. Moreover, Emerson’s advanced process control capabilities will be incorporated with this solution to seamlessly integrate AI-centric applications.
Improving Industrial Performance and Safety
It will be implemented over an period of two years and aims at making efficient use of the data obtained from these processes. As a result, it will be possible for the operators of these plants to identify any problems with performance and make decisions more swiftly. TotalEnergies, being a reliable and sustainable energy solutions service provider, uses AI tools for all these processes.
