An inspection data management system (IDMS) is a software designed to collect, store, manage and analyze data generated from the inspection and testing of equipment or assets. These systems are essential in asset-intensive industries such as oil and gas, power generation, and renewables, where regular inspections and maintenance are critical for ensuring safety, compliance, and [...]

In today’s digital era, where efficiency and data-driven decision making are increasingly important, the role of an inspection data management system (IDMS) has become critical for operators in asset intensive industries. Operators managing complex, asset-intensive plants must meet stringent regulatory requirements that require them to provide auditable reporting. In addition, they are required to demonstrate [...]

Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) is a comprehensive approach to asset integrity management, with a focus on identifying optimal maintenance strategies to ensure reliability, safety, and cost-effectiveness over the operational life of industrial assets. RCM involves a systematic process to analyze the functions and potential failure modes of assets, to inform the most effective maintenance activities [...]

Digital transformation. In today’s rapidly evolving digital era, the concept of digital transformation for asset-intensive plants and facilities is no longer just a novel concept – it is a necessity. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has revolutionized the way we approach asset integrity management (AIM), transforming operational efficiency and the actionable intelligence operators can [...]

Regulatory compliance is a critical aspect of asset management for operators in asset-intensive industries – including oil & gas, power generation, chemical, nuclear, and even pharmaceutical. It is an essential component to ensuring safe and reliable operations while preventing critical asset failure that could have lasting environmental and safety impacts. Yet, it can be a [...]

What is predictive corrosion management (PCM)? Predictive Corrosion Management (PCM) makes it possible for operators in process industries to continuously monitor the corrosion status of their assets with installed sensors. Mitigating corrosion is a crucial component to the safe operations and lifecycle longevity of assets in process industries. Examples of corrosion sensors historically include ultrasonic [...]
