Kairos Technology, Creative Design Environment (CDE), DEE-Production, and Eldor have recently gone into a new partnership agreement for superior control room environments. We are collaborating as our products and services are very complementary and will allow us to create collaboration environments with unique focus on human factors and manage larger projects together, something that will be of great benefit to our customers.

We are happy to announce that Kairos Technology has entered into an agreement with Equinor to utilize our Multilevel Flow Modelling technology during the early design phase of the Krafla development project. Krafla will be the first unmanned production platform on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. 

Bernt Eldor is speaking at the Digitalisation of Process Control event from SPE Aberdeen. In the virtual event on November 25th 2020, we will present a case story that demonstrates how Kairos Control Room Assistant, a technology based on qualitative artificial intelligence, has been integrated with the control systems and existing data, to perform a real-time root cause analysis and prediction of consequences.

Last week, Equinor decided to move forward into phase two with Kairos Control Room Assistant for the Johan Castberg field. Despite challenges with the Covid-19 situation, the project has managed to stay on track and deliver to expectations. The project has adapted to the new situation quickly and found a good way to interact via Teams. To improve the workshops of modelling, a new software tool that supports the creation of fault scenarios has been developed. This tool will be used interactively to test, demonstrate, and explain the behavior of the model, including the Artificial Intelligence in the Control Room Assistant.

To support safe and optimal plant production, Kairos - Control Room Assistant runs in real-time as an assistant always on the alert. With live plant data as evidence, the model presents an instantaneous HAZOP with root causes, predicted consequences, and counteraction plans to assist and help the Control Room Operator.
