Case Study: Equinor achieves safer, smarter field operations with Cognite Data Fusion and AI-powered robotics

Equinor runs 1,000+ autonomous inspections with Cognite

Equinor, a global energy company, faced challenges in scaling its field operations due to slow, manual data collection in hazardous locations. This process caused delays in identifying critical issues like corrosion or safety hazards, risking equipment failure and unplanned downtime. Partnering with Cognite, Equinor sought a smarter solution powered by Cognite Data Fusion® to integrate and analyze operational data.

Cognite's solution involved deploying autonomous robots to collect and stream visual, audio, and environmental data directly into Cognite Data Fusion®. This enabled real-time AI analysis for faster fault detection, smarter maintenance, and increased safety by reducing human exposure to hazardous zones. The impact includes a proven readiness for operational use, standardized data across multiple sites, and a significant shift from manual inspection to automated intelligence, building a more responsive and resilient frontline for Equinor.
