- Joining forces is aimed at helping us implement large-scale industrial data collection solutions across our operational sites.
- We also aim at leveraging the power of continuous, real-time data collection to optimize the operational, energy, and environmental performance of TotalEnergies’ sites.
Energy Window International (Media) TotalEnergies and Emerson’s Aspen Technology business have just announced a strategic collaboration to deploy advanced digital technologies for the continuous, real-time collection of data from its (TotalEnergies) industrial sites. The objective according to the French oil major is to harness the value of that data to enhance decision-making, specifically through the use of artificial intelligence (AI), and optimize operational efficiency, energy use and environmental performance at its locations worldwide, thereby continuing to supply more reliable and sustainable energy.
Under the terms of the deal, TotalEnergies says it will roll out Emerson’s AspenTech Inmation across its industrial sites worldwide, also with the aim that this industrial data fabric will continuously collect and centralize millions of real-time data points from all its facilities, providing secure and unified access to data across the organization.
The digital infrastructure which will include Emerson’s advanced process control solutions according to TotalEnergies email statement to Energy Window International (Media), will eventually allow the French firm to deploy AI use cases.
This rollout according to TotalEnergies is planned over a two-year period and will ultimately enable it extract more value from its data by:
- Accelerating the detection of anomalies and performance degradation;
- Optimizing energy consumption;
- Enhancing operational safety;
- Speeding up the integration of AI into industrial processes.
Namita Shah, President of OneTech at TotalEnergies said: “At TotalEnergies, digital technology is a key enabler of our transformation toward a more sustainable and efficient energy future. Our collaboration with Emerson demonstrates how advanced technologies such as Inmation help us optimize operations, reduce emissions, and generate long-term value. This collaboration is a sign of our intention to turn data and digital tech into the hallmarks of our facilities’ industrial excellence.”
“Emerson’s Aspen Technology business has worked with TotalEnergies for almost 30 years, and we’re excited to continue our collaboration by supporting their operational and sustainability objectives with our digital technologies. The powerful combination of AI and our industrial data fabric solution will serve to accelerate TotalEnergies’ mission,” says Vincent Servello, President of Emerson’s Aspen Technology business.
