Maintenance and integrity spending contributeto a significant share of operating expenses forcompanies in asset-heavy industries such as oil
and gas, power and utilities, and manufacturing.
For mature assets, this share can be as high as 70%.

collaborate to develop, operationalize, and scaleindustrial AI solutions and applications that optimize planning and execution of maintenance activities, predict failures, reduce deferments, shrink
backlogs, and cut costs.

Incorrectly maintained assets can hurt production and reduce the lifetime of assets. While thevalue opportunity within maintenance and integrity is widely recognized, it remains untapped.

Extend the lifetime of your assets with Cognite
Data Fusion®, the leading Industrial DataOps platform.

Today, many companies run large maintenance
operations with distributed ownership. Information such as equipment health history, sensor
data, and documentation is locked away in different systems, meaning that alarms, calendars, andpersonal experience drive maintenance analyses
and decisions — not data.

In addition to a lack of data, there’s also a lack ofcommunication. Collaboration is hindered by too
many organizational silos, coordination between
maintenance and production optimization decisions is lacking, and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are often disconnected frommaintenance work.

OMV, an Austrian integrated oil and gas producer,
is developing a new remote asset integrity operations framework. The requirements for the project
all indicated a clear need for a more sophisticated,holistic approach to data collection, processing,and visualization to aid remote inspection, collaboration, training, certification, audits, and precommissioning. This approach to remote asset integrity
operations would:©COGNITE 2023 — COGNITE.COM

12■ Reduce the costs of unplanned downtime. As
the global cost of downtime rises, the need tomaximize uptime has become imperative for
OMV to stay resilient in the face of unpredictable market trends.
■ Lower the cost of asset condition monitoring,inspection, and maintenance planning. Better
visibility of equipment condition, efficiency, andperformance enables efficient central planning,scheduling, and dispatching of front-line mainWHY COGNITE DATA FUSION® →BENEFITS FOR YOUR TEAMS →CONTACT SALES →■ Improve procurement and business planning.
Easily accessible information helps operatorsand procurement managers optimize spare parts
management for repair and replacement.
■ Ensure compliance with health, safety, security, and environmental (HSSE) regulations.
Eliminating unnecessary inspection and maintenance trips offshore also reduces safety hazards.
Solution: To provide a complete, actionable understanding of OMV’s physical and digital assets andprocesses, Cognite connected and contextualized
information from various disparate systems, including visual information from engineering diagrams,
CAD models, 360-degree images, point cloud data,and photogrammetry models. Together, thesedifferent data sources create a dynamic 3D model.
Via AI-driven augmentation techniques, the model
was further contextualized with geotags, information about scaffolding requirements and inspection checklists, high-frequency time series fromindividual sensors, and access to all relevant documentation.

WHY COGNITE DATA FUSION® →When conducting inspection, maintenance staff
and process engineers receive comprehensive
work packs with 3D visualizations and files. Usinga tablet or mixed reality devices such as Microsoft
HoloLens 2, operators in the field can view virtual
elements overlaid on physical assets and workorders for operations or training needs.
Impact: With remote asset integrity programs
based on Cognite Remote and Cognite Data
Fusion®, OMV is well on its way to realizing the visionof managing assets autonomously, backed by anadaptive digital workforce. Cognite’s dynamic 3D
digital twin, with inspection workflows, elegant
mobile and mixed-reality solutions, and seamlessintegrations with other architectures via open APIs
and SDKs, is key to making it happen.
All of OMV’s asset integrity operations can now
be planned remotely, changing the way OMV’s
experts work and collaborate:■ Maintenance service staff can reduce thenumber of trips they take offshore, significantly
cutting travel and maintenance costs. When atrip offshore is required, remote, real-time opera-

support, keeping all stakeholders connected
whenever a need for troubleshooting arises.
This is of tremendous value for certifications,precommissioning, and audits.

As the digital twin provides a single entry point to all
relevant inspection data, there is no need to accessdisparate data sources and applications. Access tocontextualized data is now instantaneous.
Sustainability is reshaping how heavy-asset industries operate. Digitalization and digital twins cancontribute to more efficient resource use, giving
asset-heavy companies the information and tools
they need to reduce their environmental footprint.

How Aarbakke and Cognite are extending the lifetime of CNC machines

Aarbakke lacked a master log of these machine
alarms, as well as a system to filter out less criticalones. Service managers previously depended on
operators to send them a note every time a criticalissue occurred. Otherwise the service managers
needed to physically go to each individual machine
and manually pull a local log to view the alarms.
Solution: Aarbakke and Cognite first liberated data
about machine alarms from its source system,
ingesting it into Cognite Data Fusion®.
With all data streaming from one place, the developers then created a dashboard that shows an

and unplanned stops

Timely alerts orderedby priority

overview of all alarms but also groups alarms bymachine and issue. This helps service engineers
pinpoint specific issues and machines and taketargeted maintenance actions to address them.
Aarbakke and Cognite plan to add more functionality to the dashboard in the future, including afeature that lets service managers assign levels ofcriticality to alarms, ensuring that the alarms they
deem most important will always be featured at
the top of the list.
Impact: Improved monitoring of operational parameters and the ability to look at records of alarms andwarnings centrally will reduce the number of breakdowns and extend the lifetime of the machines.
Beyond that, collecting cleaned, contextualized
data about alarms will help drive Aarbakke toward
a future in which the company can predict potential failures before they happen.
Aarbakke estimates that the dashboard will cut
service costs by 20-30%, reduce downtime,and avoid unplanned stops due to mechanicalreasons.

Historically, the CNC machines have sometimes
been unknowingly operated in a suboptimal way,
and there have been no alerts or warnings prior tothem breaking down. Issues include high temperatures in coolants or oils, which lead to wear andtear; wrong pH and salinity in the coolant, which
can cause corrosion or bacterial or fungal growth;
incorrect lube oil consumption; and missed maintenance on the machines.

Challenge: Aarbakke has dozens of computer
numerical control (CNC) machines at its factoryin Bryne, Norway. The machines complete complex
operations on sometimes rare materials to achieve
highly precise product requirements that Aarbakke’s customers in the oil and gas industry demand.

How Cognite Data Fusion® helps grid
operators prevent transformer failure

Cognite has worked with Statnett, the Norwegian transmission system operator, to improveaccess to data and knowledge on how best to
conduct maintenance on transformers.
Today, Statnett is responsible for hundreds oftransformers, and the company experiences
about one malfunction a year. The transmission
system operator conducts regular maintenance ofthe transformers, and also invests in replacement
components to ensure that power can quickly berestored in the case of an outage.
Solution: Statnett worked with Cognite to liberate
information about transformers from its source

systems, including temperatures, loads, dissolved
gas analyses, technical specifications, and inspection logs, and ingest it into Cognite Data Fusion®.
With access to all the data relevant to transformers
in a single location, the development team was able
to calculate a transformer health index and scale it
across all the transformers in the power grid. That
health index was then visualized in a dashboard,giving Statnett's engineers the ability to monitor
its entire fleet of transformers at a glance and see
which components should be prioritized for maintenance.
Impact: The health index helps Statnett makedata-driven decisions about how to plan its transformer maintenance activities.
Each transformer failure costs society at least$5 million. Statnett has set a goal of reducing
the chance of failures by 20-50% over the next
five years, which in the short term will save thecompany about $2 million a year.

Grid operators sometimes experience transformer
failure. These events can lead to power outages
for consumers and production losses for powercompanies. In the worst-case scenario, a malfunctioning transformer can catch fire and even explode.
Repairing or replacing a malfunctioning transformer
is both expensive and time-consuming.

$2M©COGNITE 2023 — COGNITE.COM

Challenge: Transformers are some of the mostexpensive and critical components in a power grid.
Often weighing in at more than 200 metric tons,
these massive devices are situated at critical partsof the grid, transferring electricity between alternating-current circuits and increasing or decreasing the voltage as necessary.

Conclusion
Successful maintenance organizations today arerecognized by their strong leadership, competency,
and maintenance management practice. Digitaltransformation will make these qualities evenmore important.
