Services

Digital strategy

We offer consultancy services to help businesses with their digital transformation goals. We accompany our clients right from the outset; setting out their corporate objectives, outlining a digitalization strategy and advising them to achieve an optimal return on investment (ROI).

Our consultants work hand-in-hand with clients, offering their knowledge and experience at every stage of the project: diagnosis, plan, design, implementation and verification. We call on strong engineering skills, supported by extensive knowledge of the industries in which we work while using agile and innovative frameworks.

We instill confidence in our clients because we adapt to their needs to come up with strategies that have the technological fix that best suits them, starting from technological agnosticism.

Change management

Through change management, we successfully roll out transformation processes. People are at the heart of what we do, to achieve the assimilation of cultural and organizational changes by employees, reducing their resistance to them. This is how we inspire companies to take disruptive steps towards the digital revolution, the culture of change, innovation and social impact.

We want companies and institutions to achieve their goals by implementing organizational and innovation solutions, aligning them to the requirements of the market in a sustainable manner.

• We design and support the implementation of organizational models and innovation ecosystems.
• We conceptualize and develop innovation initiatives to create digital products.
• We train professionals and companies to unleash their potential.

We integrate with the client to understand what they need, what their market needs and how they can achieve it. Because we know that each project calls for a unique approach, we work in partnership with people: we believe in co-creation and co-implementation as the key to real and lasting work.

BIM implementation

We train organizations to work in a Building Information Modeling (BIM) environment, a complex challenge that is helping companies to achieve maximum efficiency in their operations. This is a comprehensive transformation process, with SENER’s people-centered philosophy, as they are the lever of change to achieve tangible results.

Carrying out projects from start to finish in BIM provides the advantage of having an accurate geometric representation of all its components in a digital, integrated and coherent environment. BIM is the integrating link between objects and spaces and the rest of the databases (ERP, CMMS, BMS, etc.). This makes it possible to have greater control of the information and its subsequent exploitation in the maintenance and operation phases.

At SENER, we approach the management of business assets in BIM to achieve maximum efficiency in the operation. In this way, we achieve financial returns in all phases of their life cycle: design, construction, operation and maintenance.

Being trailblazers in asset management with BIM throughout its life cycle allows us to guarantee quantitative and qualitative results:

• Savings in costs and execution time.
• Improve interference and error detection.
• Improve processes.
• It allows real-time information sharing between all stakeholders.
• Makes it possible to integrate with databases to be exploited in maintenance and operation phases.

Bespoke software

At SENER, we have extensive experience when it comes to developing applications with a high degree of success. We have developed bespoke software that has become a benchmark in several industrial industries, among others, the marine industry, with FORAN; infrastructures, with ACROT; energy, with ORUGA®; or energy efficiency and air quality, with RESPIRA®.

We design and develop applications that respond to specific requirements or that are complementary to other systems (such as ERP and CRM). We use the most appropriate languages for each need (C#, Java, Phyton), as well as the most common development frameworks.

We follow guidelines, best practices and methodology that lead us to obtain an executable application with the highest possible performance and efficiency. We also use design principles and models that optimize our development processes.

An increasing number of companies from different industries turn to us:

• For our extensive knowledge of software development tools and environments.
• Because, at SENER, we focus on the industrial solution, not on the development tool.
• For our autonomy and independence from software vendors.

Process management

At SENER, we help companies to model, optimize and manage business processes, along the entire value chain. We transform silos into cooperating processes for efficient operational transformation.

We develop multiple approaches throughout a journey to continuously extract learnings and maximize the success of the transformation program. Our clients can measure this success in increased process and product efficiency, as well as higher employee satisfaction.

SENER’s professionals offer our in-depth knowledge of industrial processes, methodologies, tools and techniques; however, it is our engineering vision that allows us to go further and offer innovative proposals. We have demonstrated this after having implemented numerous complex, long-term projects for large companies.

Smart engineering

Smart engineering is the engineering of the future. At SENER, we leverage emerging technologies, such as big data and artificial intelligence, to improve our clients’ entire value chain, including process and product improvement.

With our innovative vision, companies gain a competitive edge and agility in their engineering processes, automating them and going beyond human intelligence and capabilities. Our experience means we can provide advanced services in:

• Generative design: We use advanced algorithms to efficiently improve designs.
• Requirements management: We use data and algorithms applied to improve the identification of requirements, from the specifications, to classify and manage them in the most efficient way.
• Virtual reality and augmented reality: We use immersive 3D environments to improve the knowledge of the built assets, in the design phase and in the operation and maintenance phase alike.

Dynamic asset management

At SENER, we help companies improve the financial impact of their asset management, maximizing the return on their investments. Strategic asset management allows the design of management policies aligned with the company’s overall strategy and objectives. It facilitates decision making in the management bodies and directly improves the company’s financial statements.

We are aware that enterprise asset management (EAM) cannot see the asset as a problem, but as the element that brings real value to the company’s operations. That is why it is at the heart of our management model and plays an important role in the development of the business strategy.

We offer experience, knowledge and technological innovation to provide functional solutions that bring great returns to our clients:

• We use native BIM models or emulate them to obtain the highest degree of asset characterization and interoperability.
• We add to the model a layer of knowledge through artificial intelligence, to make the system itself a valuable business asset.
• We define strategies and solutions for the operation of assets throughout their life cycle, optimizing maintenance processes (CMMS), consumption, energy management, legal, safety and environment (EHS).

Smart Digital Business

We work hand in hand with our clients to find inefficiencies in their business and improve their processes through innovative digital solutions. To do this, we offer data integration techniques, advanced analytics, artificial intelligence and process optimization, with which we improve the bottom line of companies. With our smart digital business services, we:

• Increase production.
• Reduce costs.
• Increase availability.
• Extend the useful life of assets.

We have extensive experience in virtual assistants when it comes to operation, predictive maintenance, intelligent digitalization of O&M processes and other digital transformation services. With them, companies can make agile decisions based on data, ordering and prioritizing actions.

Predictive maintenance

SENER’s capacity for technological innovation means we can anticipate equipment anomalies with a high degree of accuracy. We call on our experience in the design, construction and maintenance of industrial equipment in virtually all industries to achieve maximum precision. We provide predictive maintenance services in order to take early action on equipment and avoid unscheduled downtime.

Our predictive models work in real-time, within a collaborative online environment, in which our clients are assisted by SENER engineers in the resolution of incidents. Companies that turn to us also receive regular reports with analysis, conclusions and recommendations. Using the full potential of predictive maintenance, in addition to avoiding breakdowns and anomalies, we achieve:

• Reduction of OPEX in corrective and preventive.
• Early detection of asset performance losses.
• Identification of premature wear associated with certain modes of operation.
• Detection of manufacturing defects in equipment.
• Extension of the time between maintenance shutdowns.
• Extension of the useful life of assets.
• Reduction of raw material (fuel) and spare parts.

Digitalization of maintenance processes

At SENER, we know the best way for organizations to evolve from traditional to digitalized maintenance. By taking this step, our customers achieve a comprehensive optimization of their processes, which they can monitor in real-time. This continuous and dynamic flow of data lets them carry out an optimal and agile analysis.

Our approach is to digitalize all operational phases of maintenance, throughout its production cycle. To this end, we evaluate, suggest and improve. We guarantee the traceability of all data and monitoring that will help to solve management inefficiencies. The result is a more efficient monitoring, thanks to the integration of tools, through a single point of integral maintenance control.

We also provide dynamic reporting of information that makes it possible to develop new predictive maintenance strategies in the future through machine learning or artificial intelligence.

We have experience in digitalizing preventive, corrective and predictive maintenance plans, internally and externally alike. We digitalize processes, whether they already have specific maintenance software or not, and in all kinds of assets.

Virtual assistants to the operation

We deploy virtual assistants to maximize the results of business operations, to get the most out of them. We employ efficient and trustworthy models for our clients, calling on SENER’s in-depth knowledge of asset and process design, operation and maintenance.

For implementation, we analyze the starting data and business objectives to select the appropriate algorithm and create a model. The result prescribes to operators the optimal operating point for each asset and operation strategy. The assistant enables agile decisions, based on large volumes of data, to:

• Maximize an output variable.
• Optimize a point of operation
• Recommend a mode of operation.
• Maximize gross profit margin.
• Reduce emissions.
• Decrease the fuel/electricity production ratio.

ESaaS (Engineering Services as a Service)

ESaaS (Engineering Services as a Service) is a new concept that lets us connect our engineers with our clients’ assets, to contribute our knowledge and experience in the design, operation and maintenance of engineering projects.

These services enable the discovery of more efficient modes of operation, unusual yield losses, possibilities for extending asset life and time between maintenance shutdowns, premature wear and tear of equipment and systems and how to remedy them.

With our ESaaS services, we work with our clients throughout the entire operating life cycle of their assets to help them maximize availability and production, achieve sustainability objectives and reduce OPEX devoted to maintenance.

Knowledge management

We use the latest technologies (artificial intelligence, knowledge graphs, Deep Query Language) to extract as much knowledge as possible from information sources.

We help our clients move into the knowledge era and move beyond traditional methods of information analysis. This future involves taking advantage of large volumes of data, locating what information is needed and establishing useful relationships for the business.
