Oceaneering International has a new digital asset inspection system which aims to streamline non-destructive testing (NDT) and inspection management.
The tablet-based ‘Inform Inspect’ technology equips technicians, supervisors and managers with the ability to deliver seamless, end-to-end inspection – from planning to review – with standardized data captured into a cloud-based system. Information is instantly available for analysis, enabling more effective planning and optimization of personnel time onsite. Hardware is rated for onshore and offshore applications and is certified for use in hazardous areas.

Field trials have demonstrated conservative productivity gains of up to 30 percent in end-to-end inspection times, and the speed and scope of the technology provides major safety benefits, ultimately enabling personnel to spend less time onsite in hazardous environments. The software can also be integrated with a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) and integrity management systems to increase efficiencies and provide a holistic approach to inspection and integrity management.
Bill Boyle, Senior Vice President for Asset Integrity, Oceaneering said:
“Our Inform Inspect technology is transforming the way we plan, enact and measure inspection efficiencies. Our customers can compile, execute and review work scopes in real-time, significantly reducing end-to-end inspection turnaround. The system also provides a platform to pre-plan work, so that all activities that can be completed offsite, actually happen offsite.
