The goal is to leverage this data to improve decision-making, particularly through artificial intelligence (AI), and enhance operational efficiency, energy consumption, and environmental performance across TotalEnergies locations globally, thus ensuring a more reliable and sustainable energy supply.

Key Aspects of the Collaboration

As part of this agreement, TotalEnergies will implement Emerson’s AspenTech Inmation™ across its global industrial sites. This industrial data fabric will facilitate the continuous collection and centralization of millions of real-time data points from TotalEnergies’ facilities, ensuring secure and unified access to data throughout the organization.

The digital infrastructure, which incorporates Emerson’s advanced process control solutions, will enable TotalEnergies to integrate AI use cases effectively.

Planned Rollout and Benefits

At TotalEnergies, digital technology is a key enabler of our transformation toward a more sustainable and efficient energy future. Our collaboration with Emerson demonstrates how advanced technologies such as AspenTech Inmation, help us to optimize operations, reduce emissions, and generate long-term value. This collaboration is a sign of our intention to turn data and digital tech into the hallmarks of our facilities’ industrial excellence.

This implementation is set to occur over a two-year period and aims to enable TotalEnergies to derive greater value from its data by:

• Accelerating the identification of anomalies and performance issues
• Optimizing energy usage
• Enhancing operational safety
• Facilitating the quicker integration of AI into industrial processes

Emerson’s Aspen Technology business has worked with TotalEnergies for almost 30 years, and we’re excited to continue our collaboration by supporting their operational and sustainability objectives with our digital technologies. The powerful combination of AI and our industrial data fabric solution will serve to accelerate TotalEnergies’ mission.
