Corrosion Detection

Driving Informed and Sustainable Assets

Early stage detection of corrosion and coating failures through a machine learning image recognition tool enables a safer, less intrusive and more accurate inspection system for maximizing service life and reducing costs. 

The ABS Corrosion Detection product is a digital tool powered by machine learning for early-stage analysis of visual data like images and video. Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence and is defined as a group of computer algorithms used to simulate intelligent behavior in accurately identifying critical risks and potential failures. By leveraging the power of machine learning’s automated pattern identification, customers avoid the costly and intrusive methods associated with traditional structural inspections while receiving proactive alerts of structural defects such as coating failures, fractures and deformations. 

Key Features and Benefits

• Early-stage identification, analysis and detection of corrosion and coating breakdowns.
• Monitors and evaluates emergent risks over time
• Ability to eliminate intrusive and costly inspection methods through remote inspection technologies (RIT)
• Delivers reliable, consistent assessments using customized machine learning algorithms based on asset-specific structural data  
• Enables shared understanding of an asset’s condition status for all stakeholders
• 24/7 Remote monitoring via the ABS Decision Support Center*
