Babcock & Wilcox, an equipment provider for the power industry, needed a single source of truth. With multiple legacy applications, it was difficult to manage and access project data across disciplines and phases. So it used AVEVA™ Unified Engineering on CONNECT to enhance data quality and streamline processes. With its new integrated environment, Babcock & Wilcox developed BrightLoop™, a cutting-edge low-carbon hydrogen technology that uses chemical looping to produce hydrogen, steam, or syngas while capturing CO2.
" If you enhance the quality of the data in the beginning, then you enhance the quality of the project overall. "
