DOHA: ACCIONA is advancing the digitalisation of its desalination plants through the implementation of the Plant Management System (PMS), a digital platform commercialised by Schneider Electric and based on AVEVA™ PI System technology. The solution centralises all plant data and transforms it into real-time performance insights, leveraging ACCIONA’s operational expertise to enhance efficiency and decision-making across its water assets.
PMS integrates information from plant operations, maintenance management systems and process control systems (DCS), eliminating the need for manual KPI calculations and spreadsheet-based reporting. By providing real-time access to both raw data and standardized performance indicators, the platform enables faster, more informed operational decision-making.
A key component of the PMS deployment is OCTOPUS, a digital operations management tool developed by ACCIONA to capture and structure manual operational data. By integrating this information with maintenance and process control data, PMS provides a single, reliable source of operational information and a comprehensive real-time view of plant performance.
Beyond data integration, PMS has been designed as a scalable platform for continuous innovation. Its architecture enables the deployment of advanced analytics and artificial intelligence applications, including a seawater turbidity prediction model that is already running within the platform to help operators anticipate changes in seawater quality and optimise plant performance.
"PMS combines our operational expertise with a powerful digital platform to transform plant data into actionable information, giving our teams a real-time, end-to-end view of performance and enabling better operational decisions," said Guillermo Hijós, O&M Director at ACCIONA for the Water business in the Middle East and Oceania.
Following a successful development phase, PMS is now being progressively deployed across additional projects, supporting ACCIONA’s strategy to standardize digital operations and enhance performance across its water portfolio.
