What is Digital Twin?

A digital twin is a digital replica of a living or non-living physical entity. Digital twin refers to a digital replica of potential and actual physical assets, processes, people, places, systems and devices that can be used for various purposes.

Digital Twin for Process Plants

Process Plants are complex specie and require a lot of attention from operators to manage it properly.

Challenge

Often due to the demanding production targets, operators are not much focused on reducing operating cost there first priority is to keep the operation going and avoid production shutdown, most of the time, there is no smart tool available which make the use of all the data generated from equipments and providing analytics, predictive alerts to reduce operation and maintenance cost.

Busy in day to day operation, no time or resource available go deep in data and identify OPEX savings

Solution

BDATA’s digital twin provide remote monitoring / secure low latency operation and diagnostic of process equipments to ensure that operation is managed properly.

BDATA predictive model allow customers to have 48 hours advance notification before equipment fails, which provide operators enough time to adjust process parameters and avoid equipment failure.

Subcontract Process Plant Operation Monitoring

BDATA’s data scientists are registered professional engineerings with prior experience and knowledge in process simulation, process plants operation and maintenance.

BDATA also work with partner engineering firms in Canada, US and Middle East to review plant performance data and provide detail insights to customers on monthly basis along with corrective approach to reduce 20–40% operation and maintenance cost.

Significant reduction in OPMEX (Operation & Maintenance Expenses) allow companies to focus on quality and sales of their product.

Why Artificial Intelligence driven Leak / Fire Detection?

AI driven fire detection using CCTV cameras allow customer to make a smart use of existing deployed assets to perform secure and safe operations.

Why Blockchain ?

In BDATA’s Digital Twin, Data is stream in the form of hashes, that means data can only be read by the peers deployed on BDATA blockchain IoT network. This ensure the high level of data security of the system.

Why 3D Model ?

Process Plants are complex, and it's not easy to monitor entire facility in dashboards, 3D model provide in depth knowledge of the equipment, location as well as surrounding areas.

Why 5G ?

It’s expensive to send operators on a remotely located sites for monitoring and operation purposes, 5G provide high speed and low latency data streaming.

BDATA blockchain IoT network ensure high level machine to machine relationship managed by secure smart contracts for automation.

Conclusion

BDATA is a blockchain data streaming company, we securely stream data with value added services. We help customers in process/manufacturing industries to significantly reduce their operation and maintenance cost.
