C3 AI, the AI software company, announced that Shell has scaled its predictive maintenance program, powered by C3 AI technology, to monitor and maintain more than 10,000 pieces of equipment across its global asset base.
AI predictive maintenance from C3 AI enables Shell to identify equipment degradation and failures, allowing Shell to take proactive measures and avoid downtime and production interruptions. Monitored equipment includes control valves, pumps, compressors, and other critical components.
“Shell’s deployment of AI predictive maintenance is an impressive achievement, delivering significant economic, environmental, and human safety benefits,” said C3 AI CEO Thomas M. Siebel.
“Monitoring 10,000 pieces of critical equipment with AI-enabled predictive maintenance is an important milestone for Shell — an ambitious target we had set for 2021 and successfully achieved,” said Dan Jeavons, Vice President of Computational Science and Digital Innovation at Shell.
Shell plans to accelerate its predictive maintenance program this year. Shell is also exploring additional use cases on the C3 AI Suite, including asset integrity, production optimization, system optimization, safety, and sustainability.
In June 2021, Shell and C3 AI announced a five-year renewal of their strategic agreement to accelerate the deployment of enterprise AI and ML applications on the C3 AI Suite across Shell.
