Beyond corrosion detection: How is Vidya’s System being used?
Corrosion. AI. Digital Twin. You already know that the Vidya System Platform (VSP) stands out in these disciplines. But what started as a corrosion-focused platform quickly became a versatile system for understanding and managing complex industrial realities. Its evolution reflects how technology and user demands continue to shape one another. But what else is possible to do within Vidya’s solution? Well, we asked our clients how they are using the VSP. Janaina Albino and Stefany Batista, Delivery and Customer Success Team From detecting corrosion to operating with ease Born as a corrosion-targeted solution, the scope and capabilities [...]
Why do most integration platforms fall short of expectations?
In industrial environments where downtime costs millions and safety is non-negotiable, simply linking systems is not enough. What truly matters is turning fragmented, raw information into structured intelligence that supports decision-making in real time. When done right, integration platforms can become much more than data pipelines. They provide the context, structure, and visibility that enable teams to focus on what is critical, anticipate risks, and execute with confidence. In this context, before understanding why most integration platforms fall short of expectations, it is important to define what an integration platform is. What is an integration platform? An integration [...]
How is AI applied to corrosion assessments?
What if the smallest corrosion sign on a pipeline went unnoticed during inspections? And what if that small signal triggered a multimillion-dollar shutdown or, worse, a catastrophic accident? For decades, corrosion treatment has relied on slow, manual inspections that stretch across massive assets, often missing the anomalies that matter most. The stakes are brutal: safety risks, unplanned downtime, and escalating maintenance costs. Now, AI is rewriting this story. By combining computer vision, machine learning, and connected data ecosystems, industries are turning corrosion treatment from a reactive task into a predictive process. But how exactly does AI achieve what traditional methods [...]
Beyond Compliance: Integrating Process Safety and Asset Integrity in Offshore Oil & Gas
The evolution of safety in offshore oil and gas operations is closely tied to global advancements in safety culture, legislation, and best practices. A major turning point in offshore safety history was the shift from prescriptive, equipment-focused laws to performance-based and self-regulatory frameworks that emphasize systemic risk management, asset integrity, and human factors. From Frameworks to Function: Why Process Safety Became Central As offshore operations grew in complexity, the limitations of traditional safety models became clear. Regulatory evolution set the stage, but it was the industry's increasing awareness of systemic vulnerabilities that pushed for a deeper, more technical [...]
Vidya Expands Digital Integrity Management to New Markets with Scalable Technology

Its visual inspection automation technology, which uses computer vision to measure and classify surface corrosion, currently holds 57% of the [...]
Inside the Ora Viewer: Rebuilding Reality with Just a Few Images
Navigating complex environments, whether they are industrial plants, preservation sites, or hard-to-reach cultural landmarks, often involves significant logistical challenges and safety risks. From remote locations and confined spaces to weather exposure or fragile structures, many environments are difficult to access, document, or monitor regularly. In sectors like process industries, infrastructure, construction, tourism, and heritage conservation, obtaining an accurate spatial understanding of these environments typically requires on-site presence, specialized equipment, and significant resource investment. But what if there were another way? What if entire operational or historical spaces could be reconstructed using nothing more than a set of images, enabling remote, [...]
How Process Safety Strengthens Asset Integrity in the Energy Industry
In the energy industry, few things are as critical and as misunderstood as process safety. While personal safety focuses on preventing slips, trips, and falls, process safety is about ensuring the success of critical operational steps. In simple terms, process safety is the disciplined framework for preventing workflow disruptions that could lead to major incidents. These aren’t everyday events, but when they happen, the consequences are often devastating. That’s why process safety is so closely tied to Asset Integrity Management (AIM). If a facility is going to perform safely and operate as intended throughout its lifecycle, it must have strong, [...]
AI, Computing, and What’s Next: What we learned at NVIDIA GTC 2025
