Chiyoda, Cognite, and Mitsubishi to Launch Digital Platform Solutionsfor Industrial Facilities and Plants
TOKYO - 27 May 2021 — Chiyoda Corporation (Chiyoda), Cognite, and Mitsubishi
Corporation (MC) today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding and a
proof-of-concept (PoC) agreement(“the Agreement”). The former covers the joint provisionand collaboration on the Mirai Fusion (MF) digital solutions platform, which is designed forindustrial facilities and plants, while the latter covers PoC work for an oil refinery in Japan.
Our plan is to expand on these solutions and ultimately make them available to a variety ofindustrial facilities in Japan and overseas, including other oil refineries and LNG andpetrochemicals plants.
Efficiency improvements and the succession of management and technologies are important
challenges in plant operations. Some of the more pressing issues include cutting maintenancecosts associated with aging and deteriorating equipment, accurately gauging the operationaland management expertise of skilled workers, and the integrated use of data that up to now
have been disconnected due to the vertical structuring of existing systems.
The MF platform is built on Cognite Data Fusion (CDF)™, software developed by Cognitethat enables the integration and contextualization of various types of fragmented industrial
data. Its application in oil and gas plant operations marks a world first, as this type of software
has never before been used for such a purpose.
One of the goals of the Agreement is to support digital transformation initiatives that aim toimprove both maintenance efficiency and productivity of industrial plants. Cognite’s software
will be used to augment Chiyoda’s plant engineering expertise to provide solutions tailored toeach customer’s needs.
The partnership will also use proven, real-world applications. Some, developed with Chiyoda’s
proprietary, AI-based digital technologies, help users visualize their operational statuses,
predict equipment or process failures, and handle other procedures common in industry,
while others will be cutting-edge, third-party apps 1 sourced from MC’s global network.

1The technology used in the MF platform is already helping oil and gas operators such as Saudi
Aramco and Aker BP maximize production and improve maintenance efficiency. Aker BP’s
digitalization program is on track to reduce the operator’s annual operating expenses by 1518 percent by 2022.
Following the rollout in Japan, Chiyoda, Cognite, and MC plan to expand on these solutions
and make them available to a variety of industrial facilities in Japan and overseas.
The alliance between Chiyoda, Cognite, and MC aims to help customers grow morecompetitive and enhance their corporate value. Through effective use of data-driven apps
designed to boost efficiency and enhance facility management, industrial companies will beable to optimize plant operations and oil and gas resources more efficiently, which cancontribute to global decarbonization efforts.
1 Apps with proven, real-world applications that were previously developed by otherbusiness partners[Overview of the Mirai Fusion (MF) platform]
End-to-end support, spanning consulting (on general strategies, identification of problems,etc.), existing systems integration and connectivity, and customer-tailored development ofapps (digital solutions).
Agile development, enabling the specification, development, and delivery of an app and thedeployment of its software in as little as eight weeks.
Optimized solutions that combine three kinds of apps: standard apps with proven trackrecords, custom apps that are built from scratch to meet the unique needs of each customer,
and third-party apps that are developed and managed by other business partners.
