How is AI applied to corrosion detection?
Corrosion detection is a challenging, risky, time-consuming, and expensive process. According to NACE, the global corrosion cost is estimated to be US$2.5 trillion, equivalent to 3.4% of the global GDP (2013). On top of that, it requires workers to inspect every edge of an enormous environment full of flammable hydrocarbons. However, the use of AI is reshaping this practice. In this context, AI-driven corrosion detection offers a safer and more sustainable method of addressing corrosion by providing a holistic perspective on Asset Integrity Management with 3D models, predictive algorithms, data contextualization, and Machine Learning. Thus, this blog analyzes how AI [...]

The relation between Artificial Intelligence and Digital Transformation
Artificial intelligence is one of the most important modern technologies and it is through its development that many tasks gain new possibilities for automation and execution. The concept was first proposed by John McCarthy at an expert meeting at Dartmouth College in 1956. Until then, artificial intelligence was used only for laboratory research and the use of giant machines that performed basic activities based on arithmetic calculations for performing simple operations. Only a few decades later, the application of artificial intelligence began to be executed in the industrial market, mainly due to the improvement in the [...]
