In the ever-evolving landscape of industrial asset management, particularly in the Middle East's demanding environment, the need for innovative solutions to protect valuable infrastructure has never been more critical.

Enter Iso-Smart, a groundbreaking product from GPT Industries that promises to transform how corrosion professionals monitor and maintain asset integrity.

The Middle East's oil and gas industry, with its vast networks of pipelines and facilities, faces unique challenges in corrosion prevention and asset protection. Traditional methods of data collection and analysis often fall short, leaving corrosion engineers with incomplete or outdated information. Iso-Smart addresses these pain points head-on, offering a comprehensive solution that could redefine asset monitoring in the region.

All-in-one asset monitoring system

At its core, Iso-Smart is an all-in-one asset monitoring system that provides real-time, accurate data on various critical parameters. From On Potentials and Instant Off testing to Coupon Testing and AC Monitoring, this innovative tool covers all bases. What sets it apart is its ability to not just collect data, but to analyse and interpret it, providing actionable insights that can optimise asset performance and longevity.

One of the most impressive features of Iso-Smart is its use of TRMS technology. This allows for the differentiation between DC and AC voltage, a crucial capability in understanding and mitigating the effects of AC interference – a growing concern in densely populated industrial areas common in Middle Eastern countries.

The system's remote monitoring capabilities are particularly valuable in the vast and often harsh terrains of the Middle East. Instead of relying on infrequent manual inspections, corrosion professionals can now access continuous data streams, receive instant alerts for critical events, and track trends over time. This not only enhances the effectiveness of corrosion prevention strategies but also significantly improves safety and efficiency.

Moreover, Iso-Smart's ability to provide specific customer reports goes beyond mere data provision. It offers a deeper understanding of asset conditions, enabling more informed decision-making and potentially leading to substantial cost savings in maintenance and replacement.

For the Middle East's industry leaders, adopting Iso-Smart could mean staying ahead in a competitive market. It represents a shift from reactive to proactive asset management – a crucial evolution in an industry where downtime and failures can have severe economic and environmental consequences.

As the region continues to invest in its infrastructure and aims for more sustainable industrial practices, tools like Iso-Smart will play a pivotal role. By providing comprehensive, accurate, and actionable data, it empowers corrosion professionals to optimise their assets, extend their lifespan, and ensure safer operations.

In conclusion, Iso-Smart appears to be more than just a new product; it's a potential game-changer for asset integrity management in the Middle East. As the industry faces increasing pressures to improve efficiency and sustainability, innovations like this will be key to meeting those challenges head-on.

Neuron 5 autonomously monitors the performance of critical equipment. (Image source: ADNOC)

In furtherance of its quest to become the world’s most AI-enabled energy company, ADNOC has deployed Neuron 5, an industry leading AI-enabled process optimisation technology

The technology was developed by ADNOC, AIQ and AVEVA and has been sucessfully deployed at ADNOC Onshore’s Northeast Bab (NEB) field and ADNOC Gas’s Taweelah gas compression plant across hundreds of pieces of equipment. It autonomously monitors performance of critical equipment, enabling process optimisation and preventative maintenance, reducing operational downtime, boosting efficiency and reducing the need for time-consuming manual inspections. Neuron 5 uses advanced AI models and deep learning algorithms to predict maintenance needs and monitor equipment performance by interpreting data, such as pressure, temperature and vibration, received from sensors on critical equipment. It has the potential to cut the number of unplanned shutdowns by 50% and enhance planned maintenance intervals across operations by 20%, while freeing ADNOC operators for more productive activities.

Rolling out across all ADNOC facilities

Neuron 5 will now be rolled out in all ADNOC facilities across thousands of critical pieces of equipment essential for production, including compressors, valves and generators.
Abdulmunim Saif Al Kindy, ADNOC Upstream executive director, said, “ADNOC is placing AI at the heart of its operations and leveraging industry leading advanced technologies to help responsibly meet the world’s growing energy demand. The development and deployment of Neuron 5 across our upstream and downstream facilities demonstrates this strategy in action and highlights our continued progress towards our vision to become the world’s most AI-enabled energy company.”

ADNOC’s deployment of AI and digital technologies is at the heart of its strategy to increase production capacity while enhancing safety, sustainability and efficiency.
