Dolphin UAE - PI System Migration and Upgrade 

In 2024, EMI secured a contract to provide remote and offsite services for the ICSS/SCADA modification project under Package-2 at ADNOC Onshore HQ, focusing on the Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) at Clusters #43 and #47. Partnering with Schneider Electric, EMI managed system design, PI tag configuration, graphic deployment, and thorough testing, all aimed at enhancing monitoring and control across these vital clusters. Given the remote nature of the work, EMI conducted detailed requirements gathering sessions using virtual collaboration tools to fully understand the system needs. The team designed the architecture remotely and configured more than 500 PI tags on the existing FDIS system, ensuring accuracy and alignment with ADNOC’s operational standards.

The graphics deployment involved converting and deploying 20 ProcessBook displays remotely, using standardized templates to guarantee consistency and usability. A key part of the project was performing Site Acceptance Testing remotely, where EMI worked closely with ADNOC and Schneider teams to identify and quickly resolve punch list items. Throughout the process, communication and coordination were critical, with digital tools enabling seamless collaboration across multiple locations. To support transparency and future maintenance, EMI provided comprehensive documentation including Functional Design Specifications, SAT procedures, and method statements.

This project demonstrated EMI’s capability to deliver complex SCADA modifications remotely without compromising quality or timelines, ensuring that ADNOC’s critical control systems at Clusters #43 and #47 were modernized and fully operational.
