Companies join forces to implement digital and remote condition monitoring to the critical electrical systems of the Gina Krog platform.
ABB has begun a pilot project with Equinor in Norway, at the Gina Krog platform in the North Sea.
The project enables a digital transformation of monitoring of critical electrical systems on the platform, accelerating Equinor’s condition monitoring capabilities with a focus on improving safety, reducing operational costs, and increasing production efficiency.
Adopting a collaborative maintenance model enables Equinor to start the journey from today’s planned maintenance program towards prescriptive maintenance.
Data will be transferred from the platform’s power management system and electrical condition monitoring system to Equinor’s OMNIA Microsoft Azure cloud platform, using an onsite ABB EdgeInsight™ data pump.
