Asset Information Services (AIS), a global leader in digital services, a James Fisher company, has announced several new developments in the Americas that will help deliver leading-edge digital services to energy customers across the region and break the barriers to digital adoption remove.
With increasingly tight turnaround project schedules and broader production pressures, plant owners and operators need to see a faster payback time for creating new and updating existing digital tools, including digital twin plant models. In response to this demand, AIS continues to expand its regional footprint through careful selection, training and investment in experienced America-based partners.

AIS recently completed another onboarding of a new professional services partner to its training program. This training covers the use of photogrammetric technology, which allows energy customers primarily in the Americas to benefit from additional flexibility and availability for on-site data collection, resulting in faster project completion.

In July, AIS Channel Partner Manager Martín Luna Rivera along with partner SV360 advanced approved plans to roll out digital twin services for a National Oil Company (NOC) and the broader supply chain. This digitization of the NOC’s asset suite results in significant cost savings and facilitates remote work across the region.

Earlier this month, the AIS team delivered five digital twin models to a global international oil company (IOC), enabling systematic improvements in remote planning, turnaround (TAR) preparation and planning, and other critical processes. Deployment in the region has led to the creation of a regional partnership – enabling the accelerated installation and implementation of global technology at local sites, enhanced by local delivery.
Catriona Johnston, Global Account Manager, AIS, says: “The American market is one of the most technologically advanced in the world, however there is a tremendous technological gradient both within the individual assets in the market and within an operator’s portfolio. The pressure to take advantage of the latest technologies is correspondingly high; However, these can be difficult to implement – especially on a large scale.
At AIS we are no strangers to technology adoption and pride ourselves on breaking down barriers for our local market partners. With our enhanced market presence, users have flexible access to a multi-disciplinary reality data collection team, ready to deploy the latest equipment and techniques to deliver an unrivaled service.”
Martín Luna Rivera, Channel Partner Manager, AIS, says: “We continue to expand in America to help our local and international customers achieve their digital ambitions and remain competitive in their space by improving digital workflows, collaboration Remotely enable shutdowns and turnarounds improving uptime and lowering the costs of your business. As always, our business ethos is to work hand-in-hand with quality local partners, offering an integrated service to our customers while supporting local young professionals to enter the energy industry in the digital space.”
This announcement follows AIS’ recent expansion into Asia Pacific, the Middle East, West Africa and Latin America and marks the next stage in its global journey to enhance and amplify digital adoption across the energy industry.
