Cognite and NOVA Chemicals Launch Global Manufacturing Data Initiative

Cognite, a globally recognized leader in industrial software, and NOVA Chemicals Corporation (“NOVA Chemicals”), a leading North American producer of polyethylene, announced the launch of a multi-site manufacturing data connectivity initiative to accelerate and scale digital transformation solutions across NOVA Chemicals’ organization.

NOVA Chemicals will leverage Cognite’s Industrial DataOps platform, Cognite Data Fusion®, to consolidate data from multiple source systems, such as SAP, Hexagon, and Aspen IP21, into a real-time industrial knowledge graph. This open, flexible, and scalable digital representation of NOVA Chemicals’ operations would enable seamless data flow from source systems to enterprise technology solutions, improving access and trust in their data and reducing time spent on data discovery.

“At NOVA, we manage asset information in multiple independent systems, which can make the process of getting all of the right information to the right people highly complex and time-consuming,” said David Lyford, Operational Excellence Leader at NOVA Chemicals. “The Cognite data platform would enable us to view and utilize our siloed industrial data in a contextualized manner. This improves timely access to critical information, strengthens our core operations, and deepens our understanding of our processes. As a key element of our digital transformation strategy, an enterprise contextualization platform empowers us to enhance decision-making and secure a competitive business advantage.”

  • Improved access to data in the field and for operations experts, reducing time spent on data discovery
