The new one is operational Snam's asset control room (Acr)., a digital platform for the monitoring and integrated management of the group's assets and activities.
The creation of the ACR – explains Snam in a note – is the result of work that has been involving several Snam departments for approximately four years and constitutes one of the pillars of SnamTec, the applied industrial innovation program that the group undertook in 2018 and also relaunched through the new strategic plan. The goal is to hit the mark four goals: safety of people; continuity of operation; protection of infrastructure and the environment; process optimization.
The characteristics of the Asset control room
At the center of Acr, in addition to technology, are Snam's operational resources, enabled on all their devices, even on the move, by data made immediately "speakable", artificial intelligence, risk-based, predictive and simulation models, to which is added information from remote diagnostics and sensor technologies, which help monitor the health status of assets in real time, allowing them to evaluate their functioning and promptly detecting any anomalies.
Furthermore, through Acr, Snam workers will have access to digital twin of every single physical asset, thanks also to 3D geometric processing of networks and systems, fundamental for having a navigable, detailed and constantly updated photograph of the infrastructure situation available. The platform is then flanked by a physical space, theEvolution Lab, where Snam people meet to imagine new advances and test technologies that can further improve processes.
