Atos, one of the leading global digital transformation solution providers, and Bentley Systems have announced a strategic partnership to create and operate digital twins on behalf of industry and infrastructure asset owners
The partnership is expected to enable businesses to take advantage of fully-integrated and managed digital twins as a cloud-based service.
This new offering will support owner-operators meet their business KPIs through the following features and benefits:
? Full immersive visibility of assets ? with up-to-date 3D models of assets via drone-enabled scans
? Real-time monitoring ? to predict asset performance and avoid failures
? Performance analysis ? to maximise asset availability, increase productivity, ensure optimum performance and ultimately extend life of asset in the field
? Remote operation of assets ? in the case of dangerous or inaccessible assets
? Operational training (for immersive VR environments)
? Supports decision-making on asset operational strategies
Greg Bentley, CEO of Bentley Systems, said, ?Our collaboration with Atos can help owner-operators to really jump-start their ?going digital? ambitions, enabling and taking advantage of both immersive visualisation and analytical visibility.?
Bentley and Atos have previously worked together on several manufacturing client projects, which brought together Atos? expertise in system integration and data capture and analytics with Bentley?s reality modelling software.
This partnership aims to maximise the combined strength of Siemens? products and solutions with Atos? experience and expertise in enabling IT services to support their digital transformation, notably in the field of IoT services, artificial intelligence and Cybersecurity.
In 2016, Bentley Systems also entered into a strategic alliance with Siemens to enlarge their respective offerings for infrastructure and industry to the benefit of the end-customers. Since that time, Bentley and Siemens have jointly invested in the development of new solutions including for digitalisation of discrete and process manufacturing, power transmission and distribution, railway engineering and power generation.
