Industrial Internet of things is a key market as it often serves as the hub for digital transformation projects in various industries. Speaking last year, ADNOC Group CEO Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber said:
At ADNOC, we believe artificial intelligence, big data and blockchain can enhance our operational efficiency, maximize our performance, drive our profitability and empower our people.
Predictive analytics will significantly reduce our operational costs. Our state-of-the-art Panorama Digital Command Center will mine for, monitor and measure terabytes of information across our operations.
Specifically, ADNOC will deploy Honeywell Forge Asset Monitor and Predictive Analytics at its command center at its Abu Dhabi headquarters. The command center aggregates data from ADNOC's upstream and downstream operations and uses models, AI, and big data to make decisions. Honeywell's forge will be used to monitor up to 2,500 pieces of equipment across ADNOC companies.
