TotalEnergies, in collaboration with Kalypso, is utilizing digital twin technology to develop a Robot Supervision System (RSS) for autonomous operations on offshore platforms, enhancing safety, efficiency, and sustainability.
The oil and gas sector aims for autonomous operations in challenging offshore environments to minimize employee exposure, increase safety, attract young talent, and reduce costs.
TotalEnergies has invested in robots and remote operation for a decade, focusing on autonomous surveillance and inspection robots certified for explosive atmospheres.
- Kalypso, a Rockwell Automation company, is developing an RSS that enables operators in an onshore control room to supervise and coordinate robots using IoT technology.
- The RSS combines the functionality of a digital twin with the mobility and synchronization of a gaming platform, allowing remote operators to monitor and control the robots efficiently.
- The integration of digital twin technology in the RSS showcases TotalEnergies' commitment to creating safer, more efficient, and sustainable offshore facilities through innovative solutions.
