autonomously maps integrity flaws inside live heaters
You monitor wall thickness and degradation in refinery heater tubes using ultrasound pigs. You interpret raw sensor data to predict catastrophic equipment failure.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still interpret the subtle vibration pattern suggesting an impending tube structural rupture.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Day 10
The system digitizes your past inspection reports to create a baseline for predictive degradation analysis.
Month 10
Permanently mounted ultrasonic sensors replace the need for manual, intermittent pigging deployments in key headers.
Year 1.9
Miniaturized mobile crawler bots enter the tubes to perform high-resolution scans without human site presence.
Year 3
Algorithms identify corrosion patterns faster than any technician by processing millions of scan data points.
Year 4 · D-Day
The refinery controller fully assumes all safety decisions and maintenance scheduling, ending your site oversight.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
