Industrial operations depend on the relationships between assets, equipment, operating envelopes, processes and history.
But below the surface most of this operational context remains inside people’s heads.

Decision making
When industrial digitalisation projects stall, it’s rarely because of the technology. The more common reason is that the right people weren’t in the right roles from the start. We’ve seen this pattern many times: capable teams, good intentions, solid tools but no clear ownership or alignment between the operations and management layers.
Complex Subsea Hydraulic System
Imagine the situation: Hydraulic fluid pressure is dropping fast; supply tank levels are also dropping. You are pretty sure there is a big leak in the system, but you have no idea where it is. Pretty soon the operation will be compromised: The pressure will be below the minimum required and you may be forced to shut down the field. It is a scary picture.

I’ve been using Apple products since 2007. Every smart phone I’ve had has been an iPhone but yesterday I ordered a new Android phone. I’m so fed up with shelling out around £1000 every couple of years but I’ve been trapped because all my music is in iTunes, all my family have iPhones and we run Macs*. Man, I hate being locked in! I wouldn’t mind if it was still value for money, but it’s not – I feel like I’m being taken for a ride now.
