OSLO – June 16, 2025 – Leading industrial software provider Kongsberg Digital and Celebal Technologies, a technology company specialising in digital transformation and software solutions, have announced a strategic partnership to equip current and future customers with advanced digital twin capabilities. The collaboration leverages real-time data and the power of the Microsoft Cloud to drive operational excellence.
This collaboration brings together Celebal Technologies’ expertise in enterprise systems, operations technology (OT), Microsoft Azure, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) with Kongsberg Digital’s flagship product Kognitwin® – a cloud-based Industrial Work Surface that unifies and contextualises operational and enterprise data in real time, through operations and maintenance.
Built on Azure services at an infrastructure level and using capabilities in Azure AI Foundry, including Azure OpenAI in Foundry Models, Kognitwin® enables intelligent end-to-end use cases that reduce time-to-value for energy customers. Celebal Technologies’ pre-built business and operations system data liberation accelerators complement this offering by bringing together real-time data for an operations-focused, IT-best-practice system where asset workflows and tasks can be monitored, managed and optimised through a centralised digital ecosystem.
Shane McArdle, CEO of Kongsberg Digital, commented the following on the collaboration: "Today’s industrial technology landscape is more complex than ever. By combining the distinct strengths of Kongsberg Digital and Celebal Technologies, we are simplifying that complexity through a unified digital twin workspace – one that delivers scalable, data-driven operational insights to operators, asset managers and end users alike. The outcome is smarter, more connected decision-making across every layer of industry operations.”
By unifying IT and OT data within Kognitwin® – powered by Azure and enhanced through Celebal Technologies’ enterprise Lakehouse capabilities – organisations gain a single source of truth for industrial-grade analytics and real-time operational insights.
With pre-trained models and reference architectures from Microsoft energy AI frameworks delivered by Celebal Technologies, the offering enables high value use cases like operational copilots, anomaly detection and emissions tracking deployed in weeks rather than months.
“We are committed to empowering the energy industry with scalable, intelligent technologies that accelerate business transformation. This collaboration between Kongsberg Digital and Celebal Technologies exemplifies how the Microsoft Cloud and advanced AI solutions can unify data, streamline operations, and unlock new levels of efficiency and insight for our customers worldwide. Together, we are shaping the future of energy,” said Darryl Willis, Corporate Vice President, Energy & Resources Industry, Microsoft.
Kognitwin®’s digital twin cockpits provide intuitive scenario modelling and simulation capabilities while Celebal Technologies’ advanced Machine Learning and AI models support forecasting, anomaly detection and root cause analysis capabilities. This combined solution aims to accelerate the automation of critical end-to-end asset management processes, targeting benefits such as reduced downtime while enhancing the user experience and improving efficiency across the asset lifecycle.
Anirudh Kala, CEO of Celebal Technologies, states, “Companies struggle with data-rich environments that are fragmented. Speed and standardisation are critical to unlocking great value from data, and through this collaboration, our data accelerator packages can bring structure to complexity for more trusted and actionable insights. Together, we enable industries to activate digital twin ecosystems faster and at scale for smarter decisions and accelerated time-to-value.”
