Hexagon’s PPM division has announced that Numaligarh Refinery (NRL) has implemented j5 Operations Management Solution (j5 OMS) to ensure safe, efficient and compliant operations of its industrial sites.
The event was MD SK Barua and the management team. The new j5 OMS combines the data collected by the employees with the information from historians, providing NRL’s operations team with a single source of truth for operations.
NRL will follow a phased approach for the j5 OMS deployment and has started the implementation with five refinery units: hydrocracker, solvent de-oiling, power and utilities, diesel hydrotreater and the Numaligarh Refinery Marketing Terminal (NRMT). A refinery-wide implementation of the solution is planned in first half of this year.
Hexagon’s j5 OMS combined with the j5 Connector for AspenTech will empower the NRL team with advanced business operations and technology transfer capabilities. This will improve shift-to-shift communication and help NRL reduce the risk of hazardous incidents, equaling industry-wide shift handover recommendations by experts. NRL’s personnel also will be able to collect measurements or observations in the field with industry-standard mobile devices.
