Case Study: BP Refineries achieves refinery-wide data access and zero nightly downtime with Datacor BLISS LIMS

BP Refineries eliminates 3-hour nightly downtime with Datacor

BP Refineries faced significant challenges with its outdated laboratory system, which suffered from nightly three-hour downtime and performance degradation, making critical lab data unavailable across its 24/7 refinery operations. After a thorough four-year evaluation, the company selected the BLISS LIMS platform from vendor Datacor to replace its struggling mainframe system.

Datacor's implementation of BLISS LIMS immediately improved reliability and data availability, completely eliminating the required nightly maintenance window. The solution extended real-time lab data access to process control groups, operators, and engineers, integrating directly into tools like Excel and enabling field personnel to perform tasks previously requiring lab staff. This transformed the lab system into indispensable, refinery-wide operational infrastructure for BP.
