PETRONAS PIPE SUBMERSION ANALYTICS

The world is now become crazy with Industrial 4.0. Industry compete with
each other to be the best in Industry 4.0. Living in Industrial 4.0 Era has benefits us in
the used of automation, data exchange and computers that brings effectiveness in our
daily life. According to Christoph Jan Bartodziej the concepts of Industry 4.0 involve
Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence, Cyber-Physical System (CPS) and also
Cloud Computing. This revolution allows machines to run without full supervision
from humans. We call this system as smart factory. People nowadays are reluctant to
automate everything in life. Therefore, it is not weird when industry invest millions to
increase their knowledge and collaborative working in Industry 4.0 and at the same
time increase their revenue.
PETRONAS oil and gas also try not to miss the advance and benefits of
Industrial 4.0 apart. They have been planned to unlock the value with technology focus
area. Towards the plan, PETRONAS had adopted some approaches to make sure their
exploration successful, will integrate value chain and can sustain their production.
Example of their approaches is Geo-Imaging Technology which help in improve
drilling process and minimize the risk of prospects as well as cost. PETRONAS also
applied Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Technology that assist in release massive
number of hydrocarbons from its own oil fields economically.
By developing automatic camera to measure the height of submerged pipe, I
am supporting PETRONAS to achieve their goals in improving productivity, cost and
make efficiency in their performance. Even though maintaining the system required
cost but it also helps the team to focus on others important things. This system also
can increase team productivity by saving their time and energy rather than doing things
manually. This approach also supports PETRONAS to deploy technology in terms of
automation, data analytics, digital and robotic solution. Successful of this system will
automatically help PETRONAS growing their business.
