Intelligent O&M

Introducing Intelligent O&M, a Digital OneWater solution which provides a powerful blending of Jacobs’ water subject matter expertise in operations, design and data science, with Palantir’s Foundry platform and user interface, to provide direct and predictive guidance to frontline O&M staff.

Across industries — from manufacturing to mining to water treatment — plant operations are largely reactive. In these cases, management is only alerted to issues when equipment malfunctions or reviews reveal underperformance. This creates dependencies on lagging performance indicators and a broader focus on troubleshooting, rather than proactive modeling and operations. Decision-makers need real-time visibility into plant operations with leading performance indicators that can help them optimize performance before it is too late.

When site staff operators in the field are bombarded with noisy Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems and information overload, it’s incredibly difficult to distil actionable insights, forcing operators to rely on gut-based, qualitative decision-making. Operators need innovative digital tools that make their lives simpler, not more complex. They need IT that’s customized to their day-to-day workflow and actually works in the field.

With the Palantir Foundry platform and Jacobs’ smart algorithms and wastewater process optimization tools such as Replica™, plant management and site staff are armed with the practical data science tools needed to conduct proactive, data-driven operations, maximizing performance and cost savings plant-wide.
