Integrate Documents and PLM through Digital Transformation
Digital transformation can integrate the phases of the PLM (Project Life-Cycle Management) through documents and data automation, resulting in more effective results. Therefore, avoiding known problems, as a fragmented data system. I've talked more about the PLM in my last article, about Inventory, you can click here to access it. Piles of documents, technical drawings, and spreadsheets, were produced in the Design phase. However, until the Operation and Maintenance phase, crucial information can be lost. Therefore, the importance of keeping the entire process documented is that projects related and interdependent to each other don't get missing. Besides, the design project [...]

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 [...]
