ABOUT APPROACH LABS SECTORS CASE STUDIES NEWS CONTACTS EN Oil And Energy Efficient energy sector technologies. BlueThink has supported some of the largest companies in the oil, gas and renewables industry. Uniquely we use cross-sector technology transfer to find solutions that respond directly to the innovation needs of these sectors. Energy sector technologies have immense design engineering challenges to overcome, from subsea power generation to achieving a greener energy grid. Technologies for efficiency and connectivity are important, such as smart devices and sensors that collect data to maximise productivity. Equally important for renewable energy providers is cost reduction, and improving grid reliability, for example through battery banks. Similarly finding smarter ways of producing a sustainable low carbon footprint through technology innovation. In contrast, the product development focus for oil and gas operations revolves around efficiency and safety. For example, the underwater working environment relies upon autonomous vehicles and robotics for remote control. Utilising digital twin technology we simulate real-world activity, then use big data analysis to monitor behaviour and improve processes. Competences Connectivity IoT Connected Wearables Underwater Communication Digital Twins Energy Systems Energy Storage Energy Harvesting Fuel Cells ROV & UAV High-thickness Steel Laser Welding Renewables Energy Source Optimization Energy Production Prediction Plant Modelling Energy Sector Trends The Rise of Subsea Factories The Oil & Energy industry is experiencing the trend toward underwater repositioning of some key phases in oil treatment. As a consequence, the industry is to face a number of technological challenges, among which are undersea power generation, submarine communications, autonomous vehicle design and development. IoT Integration The combination of extensive IoT networks and Big Data Analytics is playing an important role in the next generation industry. Innovation is increasingly aimed towards automation and real-time monitoring, which is particularly important for high risk operations like offshore operations in oil and gas and off shore wind. Towards Digital Twins The increasing need for handling operations with no physical support by manpower, leads to a more and more stringent robotization of processes and to the development of digital twin systems, able to effectively reproduce the systems’ behaviors, forecast downturns and malfunctions, shorten maintenance operations. Energy Sector Clients Case studies IoT and Wearables for HSE BlueThink is developing a suite of wearable devices able to collect and share useful information related to the health and safety of human operators in hazardous environments. Digital Twin for Structure Monitoring Creating a digital twin for subsea installation structure monitoring was a highly complex and intricate project requiring multiple BlueThink experts. The client needed more control over their subsea oil extractions, to better protect these expensive offshore facilities. #THINKINNOVATION FOLLOW BLUETHINK ON LINKEDIN Milan – Italy Via Fabio Filzi 5 20124 – Milan +39 (0)239 521 100 info@bluethink.it Turin – Italy Piazza San Carlo 197 10123 – Turin +39 (0)1119 825 335 info@bluethink.it Bologna – Italy Viale Masini 12/14 40126 – Bologna +39 (0)239 521 100 info@bluethink.it Warwick – UK Warwick Innovation Centre CV34 6UW +44 (0)1926 293 685 info@bluethink.co.uk ABOUT APPROACH LABS SECTORS CASE STUDIES NEWS CONTACTS © 2019 BlueThink S.p.A. ∙ P.IVA 10120610018 ∙ Privacy Policy ∙ Cookie Policy ∙ Credits We use cookies to optimize our website and our service.
