Wood and Kongsberg Digital partner to deliver lifecycle digital twin solutions for industrial operations

Wood, a global leader in consulting and engineering, has entered a strategic partnership with Kongsberg Digital to deliver full lifecycle digital twin solutions for industrial operations. The collaboration aims to improve the continuity of engineering data from project design to operations, helping operators make faster decisions and reduce start-up risk.

The joint solution integrates Wood’s digital consultancy and project delivery expertise with Kongsberg Digital’s Kognitwin® platform. Together, the companies will provide clients with a single, trusted source of data across the asset lifecycle – addressing long-standing challenges in data handover and operational readiness.

Daniel Carter, President of Consulting at Wood said, “Operators continue to face pressure to accelerate time-to-value and improve performance in complex environments. By embedding digital thinking from the outset, we help clients reduce inefficiencies and delays. In one recent offshore energy project, this approach delivered a 23% cost improvement compared to previous benchmarks.”

Shane McArdle, CEO of Kongsberg Digital, added, “This partnership is about enabling better decisions through an industrial work surface powered by AI, digital twins and physics-based simulation. By combining our platform with Wood’s consultancy expertise, we’re helping clients unlock the full value of digital twins across the lifecycle of their assets for industrial intelligence at scale.”

Wood and Kongsberg Digital are committed to helping industrial clients build and sustain the data foundations needed for successful digital transformation.
