Smart Engineering at TCO
At KIOGE 2026, TCO outlined its Smart Engineering approach: an integrated digital engineering model that brings engineering, production and operational data into a single digital environment to increase transparency and collaboration across the asset lifecycle.
Data integration and digital twins
The unified environment gives specialists real‑time access to up‑to‑date information, reducing information gaps between functions and improving the quality of analytics. Complete laser scanning of plants is a core step, providing accurate 3D geometry to create high‑precision digital twins for virtual process simulation and scenario testing.
Operational benefits and next steps
TCO says the approach enables faster decision‑making and supports predictive capabilities in reliability, maintenance and operational excellence, while improving resource utilization and equipment reliability. The company plans to expand these digital capabilities to manage facilities more efficiently and support safe, reliable operations.
