Operations, maintenance, safety and security

Operations, maintenance, safety and security

The basis for the program area on operation, maintenance, safety & security is the opportunities and challenges we see in light of the digitalization & automation taking place these days. Within the field of operation and maintenance this includes predictive maintenance/real-time monitoring of asset condition, with application of big data analytics and artificial intelligence/machine learning as well as “physical” achievements like use of drones and other autonomous tools. Another aspect covered in this program area is cyber security and safety of instrumented systems – areas that are even more important than before...read more
