Mobideo revolutionizes turnaround planning at Delek’s El Dorado refinery with the launch of its Digital Twin, powered by R2S
Houston, June 26, 2024: Mobideo, a global technology leader specializing in the digital transformation of industrial workforces, announces the launch of the Mobideo Digital Twin, powered by R2S. The innovative Shutdown, Turnaround, and Outage (STO) planning platform, designed for asset-intensive industries went live at Delek’s refinery based in El Dorado, Arkansas on June 24, 2024. Prior to digitalizing the full El Dorado plant, Delek began with the alkylation unit at Tyler, Texas.
The Mobideo Digital Twin introduces a virtual site model developed in collaboration with technology partner James Fisher Asset Information Services (AIS). Through this reality data-driven approach, all project stakeholders have access to a full suite of process and project management tools to streamline the planning and execution for its STO. The integrated digital twin not only reduces cost, enhances decision making and employee safety, but also merges monitoring, planning and execution expertise to break down operational silos.
The integrated model sees Mobideo deliver streamlined digital insights in preparation for a planned turnaround of the refinery’s units at Tyler and El Dorado. By undertaking a comprehensive visual survey of the unit and embedding results into plot plans and 360° images, Mobideo and James Fisher will process asset information into the new digital twin platform, providing a uniquely joined-up reality data model.
Josh Tauber, Turnaround Manager at Delek, comments: “After using Mobideo for our turnaround execution for the last few turnarounds, we were ready to add visibility to our planning phase. This digital twin model means we can benefit from a unique combination of both on and off-site planners, better interpret historical data from multiple sources, and put together a robust plan with a holistic view of the refinery.”
Iddo Salton, VP, Innovation, Data &AI at Delek, emphasizes: “While the term 'Digital Twin' can encompass various interpretations and uses, this specific model was implemented swiftly within weeks and at minimal cost. It has empowered us to enhance our planning processes and conduct virtual equipment walk-throughs, benefiting both our employees and contractors alike. The tangible benefits derived from this digital twin model underscore its real value.”
Amir Green, CEO at Mobideo, adds: “Preparation for turnaround events involves complex coordination and a granular understanding of equipment location and surrounding conditions. A shared visual understanding plays a pivotal role in enabling this, ensuring everyone is singing from the same hymn sheet, allowing teams to devise strategies, allocate resources and optimize task schedules.
Martin MacRae, Product Line Director at AIS concludes: “Our ongoing partnership with Mobideo marks a significant stride in the evolution of asset shutdown and turnaround planning. The energy industry is navigating an ever-quickening transition, and its collaborations like this allow companies to wholly optimize existing portfolios with powerful digital solutions. The exclusive combination of our expertise Mobideo Digital Twin, powered by R2S, means we can deliver a holistic offering to support companies to fully visualize their assets.”
