Since 1980s, most process industries have embraced digital technology for better understanding and recourses managing, increase overall efficiencies and improve safety. In fact, the Industrial Automation (IA) field has given increase to the 3rd industrial revolution for nearly half a century. However, since then, IT megatrends have driven a significant growth in storage, information, computing power, and bandwidth. In this environment, the present of the network has enabled an open platform in sharing ideas, tool development and an agile strategy to exponentially speed up the software development effects, new business models and algorithms. Consequently, digital transformation and digitalization are becoming progressively in many industry. Digitalization can be defined as a use of current available digital technologies to enhance the business model or specific process and deliver new value and revenue. It is considered also as an approach that making processes and workflow easier than before and more efficient. Especially in today's tech - driven world, it is really important to adopt a digital culture in order to enhance the overall work and succeed. PDO is pushing the frontier of digitalisation in its maintenance strategies by implementing various modern smart technologies that can make its approach more succeed and effective. Hence, Smart Mobile Worker (SMW) is designed where it gives the site team the capability to log their maintenance observations in a hand-held tablet easily. Then, all the entered reports are transferred immediately to Nibras system where there is a customized design dashboard that gives the first line support team the overall performance of the Field Control System (FCS) along with alerts and notifications for any abnormal behavior. SMW and Nibras system are both integrated to conduct remote maintenance and proactively identify any exists issues in FCS/IPS/FGS system cabinets. This type of platform helps in bringing the expert office capabilities into the field which will help in taking the decision immediately and in short time. |
