HOUSTON, Feb. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Arion, an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management (EPCM) firm in the energy sector, today announced a strategic partnership with Cognite, a global industrial SaaS company that supports the full-scale digital transformation of asset-heavy industries, to provide reliable digital twin solutions that optimize the ongoing management of industrial facilities.

This partnership delivers a low cost digital transformation process that provides industrial organizations with assurance that their digital twin is optimized, with real-time representation of their industrial reality.

Client benefits include: 

• Reduced engineering and design hours to deliver brownfield modification designs and work packs
• Real-time access to information to de-risk modification projects
• Easy access to historical vendor information including datasheets, flow sheets, and arrangement drawings to reduce time-cost of searching for data, as well reduce site visits for the engineering and design team
• A framework for true remote engineering support to coordinate with onsite asset facility management
• Long-term change control to ensure digital twins are maintained as facilities are updated

"We believe the strongest end-to-end solutions require collaboration. We are thrilled to collaborate with Arion to make data more accessible and meaningful for engineering and operations teams, and unlock additional value for the entire life cycle of operations," said Trygve Rønningen, Group COO & EVP Operations for Cognite North America.
