More than 3,500 items were scanned and stored in a digital repository, providing an expected benefit to the company ADNOC Gas Worth $50 million by 2028.
It provides use 3D printingAn advanced digital solution that accelerates the process of producing high-quality components, to ensure the continuation of operational operations without interruption, and at the same time supports ADNOC’s broader strategy, which aims to accelerate the deployment of advanced technologies and artificial intelligence to achieve greater added value.
The use of this technology allowed the time periods required to produce replacement parts to be reduced by 50 percent, which contributed to reducing operational downtime and allowed for greater flexibility in inventory and response to market requirements.
Thanks to this technology, also known as “additive manufacturing,” the manufacturing of required parts has improved significantly and the time required to purchase and ship ordered parts has been reduced by 50 percent, which significantly reduces operational downtime and allows for greater inventory flexibility and responsiveness to market demands.
“Innovative 3D printing technology, provided by Imminsa, was used to manufacture essential replacement components at my site.”He trampled“and”HabshanADNOC Gas Processing Company.
Using this approach eliminated the need to import and ship these components from abroad, reduced the level of carbon emissions resulting from them, and significantly reduced the stocks of alternative components on sites.
Dr. Ahmed Al Abri, CEO of ADNOC Gas, said: “3D printing offers an advanced solution for the design and production of components, improving the company’s supply chain, enhancing performance and reducing costs. It enables the ability to manufacture with complex geometric shapes and precise features that are impossible to achieve using traditional manufacturing methods.” By pioneering the integration of additive manufacturing into our operations, we are advancing our operational excellence and providing added value to our stakeholders.”
At its factory on Das Island, the company succeeded in replacing the impellers of air compressors with other impellers manufactured using 3D printing technology, proving the feasibility of using this technology for complex, high-value rotating parts.
Meanwhile, at the Habshan factory, hundreds of components have been scanned and stored digitally, ready to be printed on demand using polymers or metals.
ADNOC Gas’s use of 3D printing technology paves the way for further innovation in the company’s manufacturing processes.
In addition to 3D printing, ADNOC Gas has developed and employed many advanced digital solutions, including artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Through these data-driven solutions and the insights they provide, the company works to better manage processing and maintenance operations, enhance efficiency, improve sustainability performance, and enhance competitive advantage.
The company expects to achieve artificial intelligence Benefits worth $400 million annually over the next five years.
