Cognite, a global provider of industrial software, in a joint effort with Aker BP, has achieved DNV-RP-A204 compliance. DNV, the leading classification society and independent expert in assurance and risk management, developed DNV-RP-A204 as a quality-assurance benchmark for the energy sector’s varying approaches to building and operating digital twins.
What does the accreditation mean for the industry?
The DNV-RP-A204 compliance certification pertains to Cognite’s core product, Cognite Data Fusion®, an Industrial DataOps platform that combines disparate data sources and information to host, structure, integrate, and contextualize data for digital twin solutions.
The assessment scope includes cybersecurity, and software development maturity, including verification and validation process, data quality indicators, and operational assurance.
Commenting on the certification, Lucy Craig, Director, Growth, Innovation and Digital, Energy Systems at DNV, said, “DNV-RP-A204, the energy industry’s first Recommended Practice on how to build and quality- assure digital twins, sets a benchmark for approaches to building and operating the technology and turning potential into a real return on investment.”
“Developed in collaboration with the energy industry, DNV-RP-A204 provides valuable guidance for digital twin developers, introduces a contractual reference between suppliers and users, and acts as a framework for assurance of the technology,” Lucy Craig further said.
“Cognite Data Fusion’s open Industrial DataOps is the leader in data integration. In the Yggdrasil field development project, we are setting a standard in the way to operate a field to ensure high efficiency and very low emissions,” said Paula Doyle, Chief Digital Officer, Aker BP.
“We are talking about remotely controlled operations, unmanned production platforms, tech and data-driven decisions, and work processes. This certification only strengthens our confidence that Cognite Data Fusion® will help us reach our ambitious goals for Yggdrasil.”
