Bridging The Gap Between Data and Insight
Peter WJ Baxter, Vice President of Operations at VisCo
VisCo delivered a compelling presentation titled “Bridging the Gap Between Data and Insight”, led by VP of Operations, Peter WJ Baxter. The session addressed a core challenge in asset-intensive industries: despite a growing abundance of data, workers on the ground—engineers, planners, and technicians—still struggle with outdated tools like flat dashboards, generic 3D models, and static 2D drawings that fail to support real-world decisions.
VisCo positioned fit-for-purpose visualisation as the solution, advocating for highly contextualised, human-centric tools that integrate live data, inspection logs, permits, and more—tailored for actual industrial environments. Much like the iPhone redefined interaction with information, VISCO’s visualisation tools are designed to reduce clutter, emphasise critical details, and guide users through complex facilities with confidence and clarity.
The presentation featured a real-world case study from Greater Ekofisk, where VisCo’s solution delivered measurable ROI:
- 90% time savings on inspection tasks
- 2% improvement in uptime
- 10% reduction in turnaround time
- Isolation planning cut from 30 minutes to under 3 minutes
- Reduced travel costs via remote collaboration
These outcomes demonstrate the power of well-designed digital tools in streamlining workflows, enhancing safety, and enabling faster, more informed decisions.
VisCo’s message was clear: seeing clearly enables acting decisively. By designing digital experiences that serve people—not just systems—they are redefining how industrial teams interact with data, moving from reactive operations to real-time control. With this vision, VisCo is not just visualising the future—they’re empowering people to operate more effectively within it.
