Stone-based technology firm Capula has launched a new digital service aimed at helping industries streamline operations and embrace digital transformation.
Developed by Capula’s digital team, the Smart Digital Operations (SDO) service is designed to bridge the gap between operational technology (OT) and IT systems. It focuses on key challenges including disruption management, process efficiency, net zero goals, product compliance, asset performance and supply chain resilience.
By tackling these issues, SDO aims to help businesses cut costs, boost productivity, improve sustainability and enhance customer satisfaction, offering a return on investment and a structured approach to long-term improvements.
Capula, which has an established track record in industries such as energy, power, renewables, nuclear and defence, is also seeing growing interest from sectors like life sciences, pharmaceuticals and aerospace. The company says SDO will help these industries improve compliance, efficiency and resilience in an increasingly digital world.
The service integrates a range of digital tools, including data analytics, digital twins, machine learning, automation, and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT). These technologies work together to improve decision-making and enhance cybersecurity.
Head of Digital Richard Stone, who has previously held senior roles at Cimlogic, Deloitte and Atos, said: “I am thrilled to lead the launch of Smart Digital Operations at Capula at this pivotal moment where our industrial landscape is rapidly evolving and becoming increasingly competitive.
“SDO represents a unique opportunity to deliver tangible outcomes that align with our clients’ strategic goals, enabling them to thrive in a robust industrial landscape.
“Our service goes beyond technology. It integrates people, processes, production and culture to create a holistic transformation that drives sustainable success.”
SDO is built on Capula’s REACH consulting framework, which guides organisations through digital transformation by focusing on four key areas: people, processes, production and culture.
Capula Managing Director Simon Coombs added: “Smart Digital Operations is a game-changer for our clients, helping them unlock new levels of efficiency and resilience. Having Richard on board brings a wealth of expertise that will accelerate our journey in delivering transformative digital solutions.”
