The facility, which is located at DAI's Aberdeen base, forms part of the technology partnership between Siemens and IT solutions delivery compan DAI. The objective is to "enhance the operational efficiency, safety, as well as energy management across the oil and gas industry through effective deployment of the Siemens product suite".
The facility will also boast a range of specialist simulation software, data management, diagnostics and energy management technologies, enabling oil and gas companies and their service providers to explore the full capabilities of the technologies available, whilst drawing on the expertise from the on-site team.
Juergen Maier, CEO of Siemens UK & Ireland, said: "This launch marks a real milestone in our partnership with DAI - it allows us to bring our expertise and specialist solutions a step closer to customers. Critically it enables businesses to explore new technology capabilities - and use this hub as a testing ground for the oil and gas sector. It is this new way of thinking and approaching innovation that will help boost productivity in the sector - which is needed now more than ever.
