• Support predictive analytics to anticipate equipment failures and minimize downtime—aligned with UOSA’s Proactive & Predictive Process Optimization objective.
• Collaborate with maintenance and operations to integrate data workflows into existing asset management processes.

Digital Twin Enablement

• Provide system connectivity, data structuring, and model support for digital twin use cases (scenario simulation, real‑time asset monitoring, operational forecasting).
• Ensure accurate data ingestion into digital models from plant systems (e.g., SCADA, PI, CMMS, LIMS).
• Support roadmap activities for adopting digital twin technologies as outlined in the RFP.

OT Infrastructure Support

• Evaluate, maintain, and optimize OT network infrastructure, control system architecture, and secure data pathways.
• Apply security principles consistent with NIST 800-82 guidance for OT environments (referenced in RFP skills requirements).
