The company is committed to digital transformation. It looks to unlock value for itself and its clients using technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), automation, machine learning, predictive analytics, digital twin, and Edge computing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is an exciting time for Petrofac,\u201d explains Fady Sleiman, Chief Digital Officer, Petrofac. \u201cWe are working to incorporate digital platforms within our business and combine these with our engineering and operations know-how to underpin our competitiveness in the marketplace and improve our capability and effectiveness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"partnering-to-transform-large-scale-construction\">Partnering to transform large-scale construction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When considering the impact of digital technology within its construction activities Petrofac turned to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accenture.com\/us-en\/insights\/industry-x-0-index?c=us_us_industryxo_10290183&amp;n=psgs_generic_0618&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwp5_qBRDBARIsANxdcilGhSRF9pSNYIDR2kxpPA0NcZ1zq8bNLFw-uvo7IVORZp8NECTa1qAaAvwKEALw_wcB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Accenture Digital\u2019s Industry X.0 team<\/a> to create a solution that would increase safety, productivity, and efficiency at its project sites during the critical construction and commissioning phases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Petrofac\u2019s project supervisors need to answer questions like, \u201cAre my welders well distributed on available work-fronts today?\u201d or \u201cHas my concrete mixer arrived?\u201d or \u2018\u2019Do we have adequate safety supervision at the boiler\u2019s area?\u2019\u2019 on projects which can be spread out over the size of a large city involving thousands of people, hundreds of tons of materials, and heavy equipment movement. Accenture Digital worked with Petrofac to develop a Connected Construction solution using <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/overview\/iot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure IoT<\/a> to provide these insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAzure IoT enabled us to build out a solution with Edge analytics and PaaS cloud components. These were instrumented using a range of connectivity solutions to enable us to meet the scale requirements for the project,\u201d said Yen-Sze Soon, Managing Director, Accenture Digital \u2013 Industry X.0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accenture architected a solution to collect and transmit data from tags on workers and equipment. The site data was integrated with project data like milestones, productivity, planning, permitting, weather, and documents as well as historical data, to provide a live, one-stop dashboard.&nbsp; The dashboard provides operational visibility into precise details of the project, all accessed in one place (see Figure 2.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe live dashboard displays project KPIs, build progress, total number of people and equipment on site, and weather alerts. It even flags deviations schedule and planned production compliance,\u201d said Daniel Atbir, Vice President, Construction, Petrofac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/9f33b179-9469-46a2-abcd-23dec2fae125.webp\" alt=\"Figure 2 one stop view\" style=\"border-radius:6px\" title=\"Figure 2 one stop view\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Figure 2. An example of the one-stop view of a construction project<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"project-tracking-to-increase-productivity\">Project tracking to increase productivity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the new dashboard, site supervisors track productivity across construction zones or within construction crews (See Figure 3.) They can pinpoint bottlenecks and deviations and take appropriate remedial action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the initial trial, the team observed that productivity dropped significantly before and after lunch. Looking at the worker heatmap, the team realized that productivity was slowing down because workers were leaving the construction site. They were driving a distance to get lunch. Petrofac responded by building an onsite cafeteria. Productivity and welfare increased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/710bfa4b-31a8-407b-888b-ea46cac62215.webp\" alt=\"Figure 3 map of manpower\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" title=\"Figure 3 map of manpower\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Figure 3. An example of a map of manpower in construction zones<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pursuing-better-outcomes-for-worker-safety\">Pursuing better outcomes for worker safety<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a worker requires assistance on the job, he or she can activate an alarm signal on the digital tag each worker wears. The site supervisor and health, safety, and environment (HSE) team receives the alert and can provide immediate assistance. \u201cWith real-time alerts and knowing the worker\u2019s exact location, our teams respond more quickly for better outcomes,\u201d explains Daniel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"optimizing-the-use-of-high-value-equipment\">Optimizing the use of high-value equipment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knowing the location of equipment seems simple. But on a large-scale infrastructure project, it can be a challenge. By tagging high-value equipment and having locations transmitted and known in real-time, Connected Construction is enabling Petrofac to support its subcontractors to optimize the use of equipment in a more collaborative way. Equipment is optimally allocated to increase productivity and, therefore, construction progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/997c008f-4de0-4ccd-bd22-c1c69c2a01c0.webp\" alt=\"An engineer at a large scale construciton facility.\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" title=\"petrofaclargescaleconstruction.jpg\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Figure 4.&nbsp;<em> Petrofac gains valuable insights from Connected Construction<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"summary\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Petrofac and Accenture Digital implemented the Connected Construction solution on a large scale to increase productivity, safety, and efficiency. Accenture and Avanade won the Microsoft Internet of Things Partner of the Year award based on their involvement with the&nbsp; Petrofac project and commitment to Azure IoT. \u201cThanks to Accenture\u2019s industry innovation and the Microsoft Azure IoT platform, our Connected Construction initiative is providing valuable insights for Petrofac,\u201d added Fady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/overview\/iot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure IoT<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/services\/iot-edge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure IoT Edge<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Petrofac designs, builds, operates and maintains oil, gas and renewable energy assets.
