Nuclear

Technologies such as digital twins provide a great opportunity for organisations to create a line of sight between asset performance and business outcomes, empowering staff at all levels to take decisions that benefit the enterprise and not just their local asset or system.

We helped a nuclear operator to apply digital-twin concepts to model critical processes at its site. Digital twins enable the nuclear operator to use automation and AI to predict maintenance requirements and lower costs, prepare for the time when the site needs to purchase steam power and work towards reducing nearly 100,000 tons of CO2 generated each year.

Achieving our 1.5°C 2050 Paris target will take ambitious planning and impactful action. We need to launch a coordinated climate response, and energy transition will play a significant role.

We helped Sellafield, the birthplace of the UK’s nuclear industry, harness AI to reduce the administrative burden its engineers face by 90 percent. We did this by combining AI with human ingenuity to create models that automatically detected legislative changes that when implemented, would increase safety.
