Efficient lift planning is critical to maintaining safe and productive operations on offshore assets. James Fisher and Sons implemented R2S Digital Twin for a client in West Africa to provide instant access to high-fidelity visual representation of their assets for efficient lift planning operations. 

Customer challenge

A lift planner working across two FPSOs in West Africa faced ongoing difficulties in efficiently planning and executing lifts, particularly for critical components such as valves and compressors. 

Without up-to-date asset visualisation, significant delays were being experienced in identifying equipment and access points, as well as uncertainty around structural interferences. Inefficient communication between teams and a high-degree of dependency on offshore personnel made operations even more difficult. 

Solution for our customer 

The customer sought a digital solution to enhance accuracy, efficiency and safety in lift planning. 

Our digital asset inspection experts deployed R2S Digital Twin to both assets, designed to provide a high-fidelity, interactive visualisation of the customers FPSO assets. 

Customer impact 

• Cut lift planning time by 90%, replacing half-day site surveys with remote assessments in minutes
• Improved safety and accuracy by identifying obstructions before work begins
• Enhanced collaboration by giving all teams access to the same up-to-date imagery and lift information in R2S
