The digital twin sits at the core of the digital transformation roadmap for engineering and operation excellence. Born in the CapEx phase, it plays a critical role in allowing EPC and Owner Operator organizations to harmonize teams throughout the FEED and highly iterative Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) processes across multiple locations and disciplines. It empowers the workforce with an optimized digital user experience that leverages data to a defined information standard for informed decision-making and fast interventions.

By enforcing Digital Twin requirement to FEED contractors & EPCs, ARAMCO PMT could maximize the value of data generated by contractors, leading to improved information handover and operational readiness. With AVEVA Digital Twin platform, they could leverage the platform to perform 3D reviews on EPC data/deliverables packages and check the data quality (consistency, conformance, completeness) against ARAMCO CFIHOS class library enabling data requirement compliance and collaboration throughout the project. ARAMCO PMT could also accurately track project status, progress, safety, and performance empowering them with KPIs and 3D visualization to extend the Digital Twin across dimensions (4D/5D/6D/7D) as defined by ARAMCO. The AVEVA Digital Twin architecture is based on an open platform and integrated proven technologies compliant with ARAMCO Digital Twin best practice specification. It has been successfully deployed in ARAMCO HQ and in 20+ projects (with FEED contractors & EPCs) and resulted in improving project collaboration, efficiency and reducing errors leading to rework, cost, risk & delays.
