SBM Offshore and Cognite Partner to Optimize Floating Production Operations

SBM Offshore, the global leader in floating production (FPSO) solutions, and Cognite, the global leader in Industrial AI, announced an acceleration of their strategic collaboration. This new initiative deploys the Cognite industrial AI and data platform across SBM Offshore’s entire Brazilian fleet, leveraging unified AI and data to significantly enhance operational efficiency and fuel further innovation in floating production systems.

Over the past 18 months, SBM Offshore has worked with Cognite to establish a robust, AI-ready data foundation using Cognite Data Fusion^®. Now, SBM will scale the platform to unify and standardize fragmented datasets from across the full asset lifecycle. From engineering to operations, it provides teams with instant access to actionable insights, eliminating manual data consolidation and creating a consistent, shared understanding across the fleet.

By making work processes increasingly data-driven and AI-enabled, the companies are laying the groundwork for greater automation and smarter decision-making. The data foundation also paves the way for the advanced use of Cognite Atlas AI™, a low-code industrial AI agent workbench that will give SBM Offshore experts powerful predictive and analytical capabilities.

The initial phase of this collaboration is already showing promising potential for SBM Offshore to:

This collaboration supports SBM Offshore’s broader digital ambition to harness industrial data and AI to establish its leadership in offshore digitalization. Together with a strategic partner like SLB, both SBM Offshore and Cognite are expanding a wider digital ecosystem where AI-driven solutions can scale faster and deliver greater impact across the offshore industry.
