Honeywell and Saipem have signed an agreement for product development and commercialisation of a ‘Digital Twin’ as part of Saipem’s Snamprogetti^TM urea technology.

The solution will be developed on Honeywell Forge, Honeywell’s enterprise performance management solution, to enable customers to improve the production of urea through virtual simulation of key processes.

Saipem will be responsible for the management and technical support of the digital tool, involving Honeywell on a demand basis. Honeywell’s digital twin solution will also be used as a virtual model to guide engineers with actionable insights into machine performance and maintenance needs in order to optimise plant production of urea.

The Honeywell Forge solution will enable Saipem to provide real-time response on plant operational management, to collect data for monitoring and predictive maintenance and to contribute to the optimisation of its clients’ operations. The solution will allow Saipem to remain in close contact with its clients, even after plant delivery, to modernise its offering as a licensor and to collect feedback regarding plant performance.
