The velocity of technological innovation in recent years has been nothing short of breathtaking. From artificial intelligence to advanced data analytics, the tools and technologies emerging on the horizon promise to revolutionise industries in ways previously unimagined. This leaves many industries, including offshore energy trying to keep up.
But beyond the hype of new technology advancements, lies the reality of the status quo of resilience technology: fragmentation.
The inherent complexities of offshore operations, combined with legacy practices and systems, mean that digital transformation is more complex than in other more agile industries. Digital transformation and adoption of innovative tech doesn't resume to keeping assets protected and operations going. It includes keeping people safe and every blind spot, delay in alerts and communication can cost lives.
Digital transformation is not just about investing in the latest innovation, it's about ensuring you invest in innovation with substance - technology that helps you close the gap between fragmented systems so that you gain transparency across the technology stack to keep your people safe, assets protected and organisation functioning in the event of incidents and crises at different scales.
Resilience technology needs to be agile, scalable, flexible, recoverable, and interoperable. For the energy and offshore sectors, where operations are often in challenging environments and where any disruption can have significant consequences, this resilience is not just a luxury—it's a necessity.
