The DX Journey in the Enterprise and its Leadership
• Communicate externally about the DX vision and strategy , or support the executive sponsor in performing that function
The title ( and reporting structure ) of the “ DX Leader ” may vary depending on the organization , example Chief Digital Transformation Officer ( CDxO ), Chief Digital Officer , etc . The DX Leader can also be the CIO or a direct report of him or her . Alternatively , this individual can be an external resource with the knowhow and skill sets described above .
There is a wealth of publications on Digital Transformation in a wide range of industries . Below are a few examples . It is worth noting that in some of the examples , especially Domino ’ s , the use of IoT technology was not the main transformative factor but was significantly nevertheless involved in the overall DX strategy and contributed to its dramatic success .
Digital Twins for Pressure Vessels in Oil & Gas Industry Shell is advancing the structural integrity of pressure vessels in its offshore facilities using the engineering simulation solution from Akselos , which uses a structural digital twin and cloud-based big data analytics . The system captures real-world sensor data from rigs ( information on corrosion , hull damage , strain , wind and sea states , etc .) and performs thousands of structural simulations on the Digital Twin . The intent it to
Description help Shell achieve the following :
• Create detailed and physics-based replica of physical assets
• Measure real world asset loading and condition
• Perform continual prediction of structural integrity
• Guide optimization of inspection , maintenance , and repair processes
• Perform operational scenario planning support
Drivers for DX
• Improve industry practice for inspection and maintenance
• Unlock full potential of robotic inspection
• Increase accuracy and speed and reduce cost of assessment
• Produce highly predictive framework
