Digital twin technology revolutionises asset inspection, saving >£2 million per platform per year

At present, the industry cannot visualise data across the full asset integrity lifecycle, current digital worker technology relies on traditional methods. Relating digital data to a physical plant location is a manual and subjective activity, which leads to lost time, high costs, potential errors and inconsistencies.

Global Design Innovation (GDi) has developed the latest later scanning and photogrammetry technology, which has the potential to transform the entire asset integrity management process.

The development of a revolutionary handheld later scanner which will rapidly obtain accurate inspection data, automatically detect and categorise defects, and generate virtual inspection reports will enable engineers to manipulate and manage information.

Industry Value

This technology improves safety, integrity and asset value, saving more than £2 million per platform, per year - £500 million annually on the UKCS.
