Kongsberg Digital has entered into a strategic partnership with Google Cloud to accelerate the global deployment of its industrial intelligence solutions. This collaboration addresses a critical gap in the heavy asset sector: the transition from simple data storage to real-time, actionable insights. By hosting Kongsberg Digital’s flagship "Industrial Work Surface" and Kognitwin® digital twin technology on Google Cloud’s secure, hyperscale infrastructure, industrial operators can now process complex datasets at a scale that was previously unattainable. Unlike standard cloud migrations, this integration is specifically tuned for high-performance computing requirements, such as advanced machine learning, large-scale simulations, and AR/VR-enabled field operations.
Differentiation Through Domain-Specific AI Models
What distinguishes this partnership from broader tech-provider agreements is the fusion of Kongsberg’s deep industrial domain expertise with Google’s advanced AI orchestration. While many generic AI platforms struggle with the specialized physics and logic required for energy and maritime sectors, this collaboration maintains the integrity of Kongsberg Digital’s industrial models. Customers retain full ownership of their proprietary logic while benefiting from Google’s specialized AI tools, such as predictive operations and smart logistics. This ensures that the generated insights are not just statistically significant but physically accurate and relevant to complex engineering environments.
Transforming Operational Safety and Efficiency
The integrated solution provides a "single source of digital truth" for frontline workers and engineers, enabling faster and safer decision-making.
Key use cases focus on high-impact operational areas, including:
- Predictive Operations: Identifying maintenance risks before they cause unplanned downtime.
- Robotic Inspections: Utilizing Google’s robotics capabilities alongside digital twins to conduct hands-free safety inspections in remote or hazardous environments.
- Autonomous Logistics: Optimizing the movement of equipment and personnel across global asset networks.
Strategic Roadmap for Industry-Wide Innovation
Beyond immediate infrastructure upgrades, Kongsberg Digital and Google Cloud have committed to a joint roadmap aimed at extending AI-enabled intelligence across the energy and industrial markets. This ensures that the platform evolves in tandem with emerging AI capabilities, providing a future-proof foundation for digital transformation. By moving beyond digitalization as a cost-saving measure, this secure, AI-driven infrastructure allows heavy asset industries to transform their core operations through a unified digital environment that connects the physical site to intelligent, automated decision loops.
