By Leman Zeynalova - Trend:
The digital transformation process of Spanish Enagás is being materialized with concrete actions in eight big axis, the company told Trend.
The first axis is placing the professional in the centre of the business and using new ways of working thanks to initiatives such as the “Digital Workplace” program, which promotes collaborative work in teams and projects, personal productivity and mobile work. As well as the creation of an Agile Hub to implement agility principles at the organizational level and also for project management.
Managing the assets’ life cycle based on data with the use of predictive models for the infrastructure management. This allows Enagás to anticipate possible failures of critical equipment and optimize its maintenance. In addition, we are making real improvements in the gas measurement activity with IoT and machine learning solutions.
Transforming the operation and maintenance through mobility, with a unique Portal that facilitates and optimizes the daily operations of our blue collar workers. Likewise, artificial vision with drones is used for the inspection of LNG tanks and breakwater movements of the gas pipeline layout. Virtual reality is also used for training in this area.
Managing the gas network operation with predictive models for the natural gas demand management and simulators and advanced analytics for the best decision making in the system operation.
In terms of energy efficiency and sustainability, Enagás uses digitalization in projects to promote non-electrical renewable energies, such as hydrogen, biogas and biomethane.
Automating transversal and backoffice processes for the transformation of company functions. Specific areas, such as finance, human resources and audit, are being digitally transformed to effectively contribute to the management of the business and the achievement of its objectives.
Optimizing the management, relationship and communication with our stakeholders to improve their experience. Listening to the gas system agents, we have defined working packages to improve their experience when are interacting with us, such as improvement of incidents management or value added services in the corporative web.
