3 day course for personnel to learn how to use GE APM (Meridium) Mechanical Integrity Software Tools (Inspection Management, Thickness Monitoring, and RBI) for implementing a time-based or risk-based inspection program and managing inspections. This hands-on course is an introduction to the GE APM MI software tools that is focused on enabling inspectors, engineers, and other users to get up to speed quickly utilizing inspection management and RBI functionality.
Innovative technology that allows quick, efficient extraction of data into a knowledge-centric world
Development of maintenance strategies, recommendations, and plans to implement best practices and increase asset life
A maintenance system designed in which elements work together as a quality system for maximum returns
How well do you know RBI? Take this short quiz to test your knowledge of the API 580 risk-based inspection (RBI) work process.
Create mechanical integrity (MI) program value rather than it being seen as a necessary cost to minimize.
Is your plant's MI program compliant? Use our checklist to assess your current program against industry standards and receive expert recommendations for improvement.
How does GE APM RBI software estimate risk?
How do I use RBMI to perform MI/RBI tasks?
How does RBMI software estimate risk?
How to achieve an end to end RBI program in less than six months
A high level overview introducing Mechanical Integrity and Risk Based Inspection
A dysfunctionality found in many refineries, chemical plants, and other production facilities, is a lack of common asset management work processes.
A proposal for a risk analysis option that allows for individual damage mechanism risk calculation in API 581
How AOC's new AI solution cuts data collection time for Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) projects by automatically extracting and normalizing data from historical engineering documents, achieving very high accuracy and reducing costs.
An update to our original proposal for an API 581 Inspection Plan optimization.
An example to compliment our earlier proposal for a risk analysis option that allows for individual damage mechanism risk calculation in API 581
Reflections on the importance of ensuring your data is accurate and on the impact that having poor data can have on your risk analysis.
Can Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) finally replace vessel entries? Explore the roadblocks to RBI, validated POD data for UT and RT, and a new framework for technical equivalency in modern refinery maintenance.
Why companies overlook Mechanical Integrity: It's expensive, exposes risk, requires specialized knowledge, and is difficult to audit. Learn the 10 structural, cultural, and economic reasons MI is the weakest PSM element.
Discover why equipment failure is the root cause of most catastrophic incidents. Mechanical Integrity (MI) is the non-negotiable foundation that prevents loss of containment and protects your entire PSM system. Learn the 8 reasons MI is essential.
Refinery incidents, especially fires & explosions, appear to be increasing since 2018, though industry-reported safety metrics show a drop. We look at the data, the debate, and why the numbers conflict.
