Remote asset intelligence: the operational advantage you can quantify

Downtime is costly, field access is challenging, and reactive maintenance can quickly lead to unplanned outages.  

Operators today face growing pressure to maximise uptime, ensure safety, and cut operational costs,  all while being challenged to do more with less.

One of the most effective strategies to address these challenges is to increase remote visibility into the condition and performance of critical assets. This is where industrial data platforms are proving transformative.

Proactive insight that reduces cost and improves reliability

By combining real-time sensor data with a live digital representation of assets, industrial platforms can provide a single source of truth for pipelines, compressor stations, terminals, and processing facilities. This integration minimises search time for information and speeds up decision-making.

This improves information access, accelerates analysis, and supports more accurate planning.

According to industry analysts, predictive maintenance enabled by industrial platforms can reduce maintenance planning time by 20–50%, increase equipment uptime by 10–20%, and lower maintenance costs by 5–10%. 

When these insights are delivered remotely, the value increases by reducing the need for field crew mobilisation and enabling subject matter experts to make high-impact decisions without being onsite.

Operational impact demonstrated in real deployments

Kongsberg Digital’s Industrial Work Surface brings this capability to life by combining sensor data, engineering documentation, historical records, and live operational context in a single environment. For example:

• A leading pipeline operator improved compressor uptime by 12% using remote asset condition monitoring and anomaly detection powered by live sensor feeds and historical context.
• A gas processing facility reduced inspection rounds by 30% by implementing digital work instructions tied to asset health indicators, which were visualised through P&ID overlays.

These are not isolated successes. They reflect a broader industry shift. A McKinsey study found that full-scale digital transformations can deliver up to $1 billion annually in savings for large oil and gas companies.

From Fragmented data to actionable decisions

With Kongsberg Digital, organisations move beyond fragmented systems and paper-based workflows. Our data operations layer provides context and quality assurance, while our digital twin model visualises assets in real time, whether in the field, in the control room, or at corporate offices.

The result? 

• Faster operational decisions
• Reduced field mobilisation
• Lower maintenance and integrity management costs
• Higher workforce productivity and coordination

If reducing operational cost and improving reliability are priorities, expanding remote visibility should be a core initiative.
