Storengy, a major player in gas storage in France, operates 14 industrial sites subject to strict regulatory and operational constraints. Since 2007, Storengy has been committed to structuring, improving the reliability and enhancing the value of its technical data repositories, as part of an evolving digital twin approach.
The projects undertaken cover the implementation of a Common Data Environment (CDE/ECD), the management of 2D technical data, as well as the progressive deployment of a 3D digital twin, jointly with SAMP, on all their 14 sites. The aim is to centralize information, facilitate data access and support the digital transformation of maintenance, operations and engineering teams.
Digital transformation, data reliability and industrial performance
Storengy was faced with several strategic challenges:
- Provide permanent, secure access to technical repositories for all internal and external teams, including those on the move
- Ensure the reliability of technical data and documents in a highly regulated environment
- Improve the quality, completeness and turnaround times of technical files (DOE/DFA) after completion of work
- Facilitate information transfer between engineering, operations, operators and subcontractors
- Outsource and rationalize certain drawing office tasks
- Improve operational efficiency, change management and equipment availability
- Initiate and structure a sustainable digital transformation of the organization
Data environment, 2D/3D digital twin and field mobility
Equans Digital supported Storengy in the deployment of a set of integrated digital solutions, covering the entire technical data lifecycle.
Services include :
- Design of a secure digital ecosystem for the management, centralization and accessibility of technical data
- Instantiation and advanced configuration of SharePoint platforms and an Azure platform for data sharing with business applications and mobility
- Development of mobile data visualization applications, including reporting of field anomalies
- Recovery, reliability and updating of plans, diagrams and cartographic databases at all sites
- Implementation of a change management unit and manufacturer file control processes
- Support for SAMP in deploying the 3D digital twin using 3D scanning (static, mobile, drone, photogrammetry)
- Development of API connectors and webservices between existing repositories (P&ID, CMMS, supervision, PIMS)
- Processing and conversion of multi-format data for use by artificial intelligence solutions
- Maintenance in operational and security conditions (MCO/MCS) for the entire ecosystem
