OFFSHORE DIGITAL TWINS – BEYOND THE HYPE
Partha Pratim Dev, Venture Manager – Offshore Engineering Structures, Rosenxt Group
In this candid presentation, Partha Pratim Dev, Venture Manager for Offshore Engineering Structures at Rosenxt Group, separates the practical value of offshore digital twins from the hype surrounding the technology.
The presentation explains how structural health monitoring and physics-based digital twins can work together to provide a more accurate view of offshore asset condition. Continuous sensor data can be used to calibrate analytical models, improve integrity assessments and support the management of ageing structures.
Partha explores how this approach can strengthen predictive maintenance, emergency response and fitness-for-service decisions. It can also support safe operations, optimise lifecycle costs and provide evidence for life extension or the repurposing of offshore facilities.
The presentation challenges several common misconceptions. A digital twin is more than a static CAD model, does not always require major upfront investment and should support rather than replace engineers. Reliable outcomes depend on validated data, trusted algorithms and continued review by subject matter experts.
Explore the full presentation below to discover how the developing ISO 19901-9 framework could bring greater structure, validation and confidence to the use of digital twins in offshore structural integrity management.
