Gazprom develops prototype of digital platform for controlling equipment diagnostics, maintenance and repair

The 11^th edition of the International Conference “Maintenance and Repair of the Core Assets of Gazprom” took place in Sochi.

Taking part in the event were Oleg Aksyutin, Deputy Chairman of the Management Committee – Head of Department at Gazprom, as well as representatives of the Company's relevant structural units, subsidiaries, contracting organizations and manufacturing plants.

The conference was devoted to, among other things, the development and use of innovative technologies and methods during diagnostic inspections, maintenance and repair at Gazprom's production facilities.

It was highlighted that the unified digital platform which is currently being developed is a key element in the digital transformation of said business process. A working prototype of the platform based on domestic software was presented at the conference.

The platform will accumulate large volumes of data on the technical condition of the production facilities comprising the Unified Gas Supply System of Russia throughout their entire life cycle. The functions of risk assessment and ranking according to the need for repair which use cutting-edge digital tools and information models will make it possible to choose the best strategies for equipment maintenance and repairs. The platform will be capable of automated planning, execution monitoring and quality control system management for said activities. Therefore, the digital platform will serve to, inter alia, reduce the costs of equipment operation while ensuring its high reliability.

The integrated information environment in the sphere of diagnostic inspections, maintenance and repair of equipment will be incorporated into the Single model of data of the Gazprom Group companies which is now being created.
