Digital solutions improve refinery operations Digitalising and standardising the tasks and activities of plant personnel improves efficiency and safety,resulting in greater uptime and throughput

摘要

As markets change and global competition intensifies,refineries are faced with the challenge of minimising costs and ensuring high profitability.It is particularly important to improve operational efficiency,facility utilisation and productivity-all while ensuring the highest levels of safety.In response to these needs,operations management software solutions utilising digital technologies are required to optimise and automate workflow processes,enable sharing of operating information,provide easy access to data and allow better utilisation of historical information.These solutions help optimise plant operations,manage risks and make the most efficient use of plant assets to ensure safe,reliable and profitable operations.As the Industrial Internet of Things(IIoT)and the use of big data and artificial intelligence(AI)gain momentum,attention is being focused on the collection,analysis and digitisation of data.Done correctly,these activities add value by identifying problems at an early stage to make operations more efficient,enhance management processes and accelerate decision making.
