Baker Hughes expands Cordant™ industrial software

The latest release enhances energy and industrial operators’ enterprise-wide visibility across assets, delivering improved access to decision-grade data, and empowering a broader range of users through an increasingly open, composable, and scalable platform architecture. The announcement was made at the 2026 Baker Hughes Annual Meeting in Florence, Italy.

“Energy and industrial operators are being asked to deliver more, with greater speed, precision, and accountability,” said Aravind Yarlagadda, Senior Vice President of Industrial Solutions, Industrial & Energy Technology at Baker Hughes. “This release advances Cordant’s ability to connect asset insights, risk, and operations data in a single environment, designed to reduce unplanned downtime, prioritise capital more effectively, and improve day-to-day operational performance across complex assets.”

This release strengthens reliability and risk visibility by integrating asset strategy, integrity, and health insights into a unified workflow. Updates include enhanced failure mode analytics, waveform analysis, and KPI drilldowns. These now connect directly to risk modelling, capital planning, and integrity workflows, enabling teams to quantify asset risk more clearly and align on actions that reduce downtime. New AI-enabled capabilities, such as failure mode mapping between domains and automated risk alignment, aims to cut manual effort and help organisations drive consistent long-term asset strategies.

Cordant Process Optimisation introduces a flexible objective function that enables operators to evaluate multiple operational scenarios, whether maximising production, reducing energy use, or optimising both. Real-time, context-aware recommendations provide users with clear pathways to impact throughput, efficiency, and margin performance. These enhancements support customers in navigating increasingly dynamic market and operational environments, while embedding sustainability into process decisions. Outcomes depend on site conditions, configurations, and user choices.

A new integration between Baker Hughes Energy & Emissions Management (EEM) and Cordant FastLCA helps customers centralise emissions and energy data across assets and sites. This unified view can help operators identify hotspots, optimise energy use, and prioritise decarbonisation actions based on consistent, auditable methodologies. By embedding trusted lifecycle data into day-to-day operations, Cordant supports compliance efforts and advances customers’ sustainability goals without adding complexity for users.

Foundational platform updates improve usability, adaptability, and enterprise readiness across all Cordant applications. Multi-language support, notifications, self-guided walkthroughs, and customisable reporting tools support faster onboarding and broader coverage across diverse roles and regions.
