Enhancing Industrial Plant Efficiency through Comprehensive Internal Corrosion Monitoring Solutions
In the realm of asset integrity management, a meticulous approach to internal corrosion monitoring emerges as an indispensable facet. Corrosion, accounting for a substantial share of failures and maintenance costs in the process industries, demands vigilant attention from integrity and maintenance managers. This degradation mechanism, prevalent in industries such as refineries, petrochemicals, FPSOs, and other plants, necessitates a systematic monitoring approach. Understanding the critical role of internal corrosion monitoring in the seamless operation of industrial plants is paramount. The economic implications of component replacement and structural recovery far surpass the costs associated with corrosion prevention and control. Consequently, the implementation [...]
New alternatives for the Asset Integrity Management in Offshores
Introduction Asset integrity management (AIM) is the process of ensuring that assets are maintained in a safe and reliable condition throughout their life cycle. This is especially important for offshore facilities, which are subject to unique harsh environmental conditions and complex operating environments. The traditional way of ensuring integrity is based on paper and visual inspections. Taking into account that technology is becoming more present within Oil and Gas operations, the application of state-of-the-art technology is fundamental to enhance the overall process of asset integrity management. How its currently done The current process of AIM is largely manual and [...]
New technologies are increasing the productivity in Offshore.
Several industrial sectors have invested in new technologies to reduce time and cost in industrial activities. Likewise the various tools that have been utilized for improving productivity in industrial plants. The digitalization of the documents and data analysis in digital platforms deserve special attention. With software that can be operated remotely, the asset management has become a more integrated task. With tools that help the planning of inspection and maintenance activities. According to execution plans made previously. In that way, this optimization in performance reduces the number of people involved in field tasks. And increases the productivity of those who [...]
Team Management for the Industry!
Tools for online team management have been increasingly searching. And its practicality it's even more evident during the period of social distance due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite team mangement tools being very in administrative and financial works, to follow goals and establish new activities. Team management isn't 100% adapted to the industry, especially for inspection and maintenance tasks. In which the teams are usually managed through spreadsheets. Industry 4.0: The Team Management revolution These online team management tools are part of the 4th Industrial Revolution. Which presents the proposal of industrial process digitalization to make the industrial process more [...]

The complex routine of Offshore: Technology as our great ally
Offshores can have a complex routine, so managers and engineers are increasingly adopting the Digital Twin to integrate the firsts phases of the Project Life-cycle Management (PLM) - design and engineering - with the Operation and Maintenance phase (O&M). As a result, they’re building efficiency by sharing data and taking advantage of the technology, which can be used to reduce time and budget of inspection and maintenance activities. An industrial plant have thousands of assets. Therefore, the inspection and maintenance management of all of them can be a masterful job. However, with the connectivity provided by digital technologies, such [...]
Industrial Challenge: Maintain an Updated Inventory
Many industrial plant managers suffer from the lack of an updated inventory of your assets. For years, industrial asset management relied on stacks of paperwork and spreadsheets to access the plant's complete inventory. Therefore, this paperwork often took time to be updated. With Industry 4.0 and digital transformation tools increasing in the world industry, companies with innovative solutions invested in software development. Therefore, those tools could integrate the industrial process and make it more accessible, efficient, and sustainable. After the integration introduced by Industry 4.0 technologies was made possible. Some innovative companies invested in the digitalization of the PLM (Project [...]
