TotalEnergies and Emerson’s Aspen Technology business have announced a strategic collaboration to deploy advanced digital technologies for the continuous, real-time collection of data from TotalEnergies’ industrial sites. The objective is to harness the value of that data to enhance decision-making, specifically through the use of artificial intelligence (AI), and optimize operational efficiency, energy use, and environmental performance.

Under the terms of the deal, TotalEnergies will roll out Emerson’s AspenTech Inmation across its industrial sites worldwide. This industrial platform is designed to continuously collect and centralize millions of real-time data points from TotalEnergies’ facilities.

“At TotalEnergies, digital technology is a key enabler of our transformation toward a more sustainable and efficient energy future,” said Namita Shah, president of OneTech at TotalEnergies. “Our collaboration with Emerson demonstrates how advanced technologies such as Inmation help us optimize operations, reduce emissions, and generate long-term value.”

The digital infrastructure, which also includes Emerson’s advanced process control solutions, will subsequently allow TotalEnergies to deploy AI use cases.

The rollout is planned over a 2-year period.
