How We Do It
Case Study
Ras Tanura
Ras Tanura is a coastal city in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia and serves as a major oil operations center and port for Saudi Aramco with a crude distillation capacity of over 500,000* barrels per day.
As a key strategic refinery for Aramco, it was essential that operations were managed efficiently to ensure maximum productivity. However, the facility’s business and operations practices were executed manually or through siloed
ad-hoc systems which impacted their overall operations and created multiple issues including:
- Real-time monitoring of refinery operations
- Lack of an integrated solution system between OT and ERP systems
- Prioritization of operational tasks
- Reporting on the health of equipment and maintenance recommendations
- Having automated/semi-automated solutions and notification systems
- Reliable and consistent data
- Engineer’s time inefficiency
- Role based visualization
The Ras Tanura operations teams endeavored to remedy the challenges but realized they ultimately required a single unified approach that incorporated multiple systems to create a unified and integrated solution.
To achieve their goal, the Ras Tanura refinery started working with what is now
Plant.Digital’s iMOMS system in 2019 to provide:
- Reliability and Integrity Management: 3D AV, Primavera, Honeywell OFM
- Regulatory Compliance Management: Sphera Essential
- Production Operations Management: HFOM, DVR, Honeywell KPIM
The iMOMS Offered:
Through the implementation of iMOMS, Aramco was able to organize all refinery data from process automation systems and applications through an integrated, real-time framework.
This data transformation ensured Aramco could utilize meaningful and contextualized information to be utilized by employees and applications to drive efficiency, productivity, and safety.
The iMOMS system also helped deliver a range of benefits including:
- Reliable and consistent data
- Critical refinery data obtained efficiently at regular intervals
- Minimize risk of incidents
- Enabling strategic business planning and investment analysis
- Ensuring the right business and operations decision at the right time
- Enabling inventory optimization by converting planned targets to feasible events
The iMOMS system ultimately meant that Aramco could enhance profitability through efficiency and a reduction of operations costs.

FAQs
Plant.Digital is formed from two global organizations, Saudi Aramco and Honeywell, that bring their expertise together to create a unique proposition.
The powerful combination of Aramco’s business, operations, technology and delivery expertise, coupled with Honeywell’s proven experience in industrial software and big data analytics solutions, as well as long tenure in the Kingdom, will unlock tremendous value for the industry.
Honeywell and Aramco have partnered for more than 60 years to drive Saudi Arabia’s industrial advancements forward through technology and innovation.
Additionally, the collaboration highlights the commitment of Aramco and Honeywell to Saudi Vision 2030, focused on developing high-tech and knowledge-based careers that add significant value to the Saudi economy to compete globally.
In an ever-evolving industrial world, at Plant.Digital we are transforming and innovating the way in industrial companies think, work, and operate.
We aim to contribute to global innovation by becoming a global industry leader that specializes in implementing, supporting, and optimizing a suite of reliable and highly accessible industrial digital solutions.
Our mission is to provide a reliable, and scalable package of integrated industrial software solutions that reduces cost and improve efficiency, productivity, safety, and sustainability in the long term for industries across the globe.
The future of industrial operations is being able to operate remotely everywhere, simulate everything, and automate anywhere. To make that happen, it’s important to have sustainable digital transformation.
Plant.Digital will leverage Aramco’s technical and domain knowledge combined with Honeywell’s global software development, systems integration and commercialization expertise to develop next-generation digital technology designed to help improve productivity and operational excellence of industrial companies.
Plant.Digital will initially provide services to entities such as Aramco, Aramco joint ventures, and Affiliates, ensuring long- term, reliable partnerships that support and deliver a transformation toward operational excellence, as well as other global Industrial customers.
Plant.Digital will further expand its offering to provide services to the wider petrochemicals industry, water desalination, mining, materials and F&B production using Plant.Digital’s specialized domain knowledge with technology experts focused on innovation, delivery, and dedicated support.
Our initial focus is within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and selected Aramco global sites; however, Plant.Digital will expand to provide services to the broader GCC region and ultimately globally.
We transform the way industrial companies work. Before Plant.Digital, Distributed Control Systems and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) ran operations within industrial companies. The challenge with this approach is that changing any aspect of operations requires an understanding of the financial and productivity impacts which in turn requires data extraction and manual analysis that consumes time and resources. At Plant.Digital, we offer a set of Integrated Manufacturing Operation Management Solutions (iMOMS) that connects Distributed Control Systems to the ERP to provide data in real-time which will help improve plant productivity and ultimately increase profit.
Plant.Digital further innovates the iMOMS suite to allow industrial companies to integrate business and manufacturing data from across the full breadth of plant operations to help maximize yield, reduce downtime and improve
plant productivity and sustainability.
We offer services that are readily available as an on-premise solution that can provide assistance in end-to-end delivery for smart manufacturing solutions:
- Engineering Design and Consulting Services
- System Integration Services
- Application Support Services
- Adoption Management Services
- iMOMS Innovation and Development Services
Through these solutions, we can drive real industrial change for the best, not just in terms of business and economic goals, but in global sustainability overall as well.
