Case Study: Yara improves plant efficiency and collaboration with Kongsberg Digital’s Industrial Work Surface

Yara saves hours on plant work with Kongsberg Digital’s digital twin and 5 mm scans

Yara Porsgrunn, a major fertiliser and industrial chemicals production facility, faced challenges with its large volumes of plant information being spread across multiple systems. This made retrieving accurate data for engineering projects and maintenance tasks slow, error-prone, and labor-intensive. To address this, Yara partnered with Kongsberg Digital to implement its Industrial Work Surface digital twin solution.

Kongsberg Digital's solution consolidated all plant data into a single, intuitive interface, enabling "Google Maps" style navigation of the facility. This provided significant time savings, reduced the maintenance backlog, and improved plant reliability by allowing teams to plan maintenance, de-risk shutdowns, and collaborate with external vendors more efficiently. The widespread adoption of the tool across disciplines freed up engineering hours and minimized unnecessary field trips.
