By GlobalDataAccording to GE, the company’s predictive-diagnostic software identifies equipment problems and helps avoid unexpected shutdowns, while matching well with existing work processes and software tools used by Statoil’s condition monitoring centre.
Proficy software uses prioritised, ‘apparent cause’ diagnostics to identify developing faults.
Statoil is currently considering expansion of the software to onshore and across its other regional business units.
GE’s Industrial-PRC processes terabytes of data to predict equipment failures and monitors on more than 50 sites and 4,000 assets worldwide.
