Introduction:
At Acuvate, we are pleased to offer a well-integrated Kognitwin Digital Twin solution. Acuvate and Kongsberg Digital (KDI) jointly deliver this end-to-end solution, starting from data collection using sensors (including ANYbotics robots). It involves:
- AcuNow Edge for supporting real-time decision-making (optional)
- AcuPrism for data storage, manipulation, and contextualization
- AI Platform for analytics that feed into KDI’s Kognitwin
Together, KDI and Acuvate bring this comprehensive solution to the market, covering end-to-end implementation, integration, deployment, and operational support. This ensures a smoother deployment of Digital Twin solutions.
We understand that high-quality data feeds are crucial for effective Digital Twin deployment. To achieve this, we collaborate with and integrate the following solutions:
- ANYbotics: Walking robots well-suited for harsh energy and manufacturing environments.
- (AcuNow) IOTech Edge Central: Robust edge solutions that support both OT/IT data streams and a wide range of sensors.
- ASSAI: Offers complete control over engineering documents.
- (AcuPrism) Databricks-based DataOps: Includes KAFKA for data streaming, along with Shell SSIP and RTDIP extensions for Aveva PI support.
- (Sateliot) Satellite communications: Enables data collection from remote production sites.
We ensure comprehensive DataOps support, facilitating seamless data integration across the Digital Twin architecture.
How Digital Twin Makes a Difference: Example of Asset Performance Management
- Operations, Maintenance, and Engineering: These functions can gradually adopt Kognitwin as their primary user interface, allowing them to:
- View up-to-date 3D representations of assets, with the ability to zoom in/out and rotate.
- Access all relevant data for APM processes, avoiding data silos.
- Instantly identify elements (e.g., turbines, pumps, engines) with issues, highlighted by color-coding, and view critical data sources (e.g., timeseries, maintenance, P&ID). Issues may result from predictive maintenance, OEE, HSSE, engineering incidents, etc., all clearly represented in the Digital Twin interface.
- Enhance staff training on Digital Twin, reducing the need for physical training setups. Kognitwin’s simulation software can facilitate more digital simulations over time.
- Virtually replace complete components (e.g., engines) before physical execution, reducing downtime after sufficient digital training for engineering staff.
- Offer easy re-training for staff on specific items as needed.
- Turnaround Planning: Simulate critical turnaround activities, determining the optimal sequence to minimize time and maximize safety for maintenance personnel.
- Interactive Simulation: Experiment with various settings on the Digital Twin to observe the impact. Changes are instantly visible through color-coding, with graphical results linked to specific elements, allowing engineers to interactively test settings and see real-time results.
- Enhanced Data Quality: As users interact with the Digital Twin, they become more motivated to maintain data quality, as any lack of quality becomes immediately visible and hampers operations. Data quality improvements are more effective when the affected users also maintain it.
Overall benefits:
- Higher quality of work
- Faster, more efficient completion
- Increased safety
- Reduced costs
Joint Go-to-Market (GTM) Strategy
- KDI: Provides Kognitwin and related software (e.g., analytics, simulation tools) as scalable SaaS services on Microsoft Azure.
- Acuvate: As the system integrator and data solution provider, we:
- Implement AcuPrism as the Enterprise Data Platform, ensuring seamless integration with Kognitwin.
- Connect data sources (e.g., sensors, robots) via AcuNow, AcuPrism, and Kognitwin for minimal data latency.
- Offer integrated AI solutions, including ML, MV, and Gen-AI analytics, alongside KDI’s analytics options.
- Ensure end-to-end data flow, installation, and operational support, with project management and technical leads in your timezone and KDI-trained engineers from our Hyderabad Technology Center.
