- Inspection Data Management System:

If the data and reports are not available then the inspections did not occur. This module provides a repository for ultrasonic thickness gauging, visual inspection, digital x-ray images, advanced inspection data reports, and much more. Corrosion Rates, Remaining Life, Maximum Allowable Operating Pressures, Retirement Dates, plus more are calculated and used to determine re-inspection intervals.

 

- Smart-Isometric Drawing Module:

An on-line isometric drawing system enabling users to quickly draw and store isometric drawings within the inspection database. Inspection data is populated on drawings if the user determines necessary. As drawings change, updates to the isometrics are performed quickly. Since the drawings are tightly integrated within the database users can see how and when changes occurred by using the built-in tracking and trending features.

 

- Corrosion Data Management System:

Mechanical integrity involves much more than visually inspecting and recording ultrasonic thickness readings. Internal corrosion coupons, corrosion inhibitors, fluid laboratory testing, and pipe to soil potentials must also be monitored and managed. The system provides the user a single location to enter data and report data trends. Since many operators contract various vendors to perform data collection the system incorporates a separate user security setting so multiple contractors can enter data across the entire company infrastructure. Risk Analysis Module: Performing inspections and thickness gauging is one of many variables to manage when creating inspection and maintenance budgets. Risk based analysis within the mechanical integrity world is used to identify damage mechanisms, select appropriate inspection and testing techniques, and evaluate overall risk from a financial, safety and environmental perspective. In addition the Visual AIM results are used to project future inspection, testing, maintenance and preventative maintenance strategies. The Visual AIM system incorporates the American Petroleum Institute (API) 580 and (API) 581 standards.

 

- Data Archiving Module:

Oil and Gas operators have a tendency to lose critical data associated with processing equipment. The drawings, inspection reports, and radiographs are stored in files located throughout a facility. The Data Archiving System within Visual AIM enables the user to simply upload to the database any digital data records which may be associated with a particular piece of equipment. The on-line systems records can be viewed, downloaded, and uploaded by users with appropriate security settings.

 

- On-Demand / Cloud Hosting:

The Visual AIM software is a hosted SaaS product accessible through the Internet or your secure intranet which means you can manage any facility from any location throughout the world. Visual AIM cloud computing facilitates easy collaboration between individuals in many different locations throughout the world. As upgrades, bug fixes, or customizations are added to the software, these new features are pushed out to users automatically. There is no need to constantly confirm the most up-to-date version is installed.
