Realizing the benefits of decentralized manufacturing of highly regulated parts in Energy industry

20 Nov 2024

This presentation will explore how additive manufacturing (AM) can transform the supply chain by shifting from a conventional centralized model (Design, Produce & Distribute) to a decentralized approach (Design, Distribute & Produce).

Decentralized manufacturing offers multiple advantages, including reduced inventory holding costs, enhanced supply chain resilience, lower logistics expenses, and a decreased carbon footprint by producing near the point-of-use. The concept of a ‘Digital Passport’ is essential for representing product and process definitions digitally, allowing transmission to pre-qualified manufacturers worldwide. This session will showcase Baker Hughes’ collaboration with Oqton and NAMI (National Additive Manufacturing Institute) in Saudi Arabia to demonstrate the feasibility of decentralized manufacturing for regulated industrial parts, adhering to stringent standards like API, ISO, and ASTM. The case study will feature a real production part certified to Baker Hughes’ requirements and used in Oil & Gas operations in KSA. Attendees will gain insights into the challenges and strategies for implementing decentralized AM while maintaining compliance with industry and governmental regulations.

Speakers:
Lampros Giourntas, Senior Digital Product Manager, Baker Hughes
Hubert Kerschbaum, Senior Product Manager, MOS, Oqton
