Problem
Critical infrastructure such as pipelines, pressure vessels, and process equipment suffer from corrosion, cracking, wall loss, and weld defects that develop gradually and are often only discovered during periodic inspections. The lack of continuous visibility into material degradation leads to unexpected failures, costly downtime, and heightened operational risk.
Solution
Helixsensors offers a continuous material integrity monitoring system that combines handheld inspection tools with permanently installed sensor wraps to provide real‑time condition data. The sensor layer streams live measurements into a digital twin, while the predictive maintenance software visualizes degradation trends, identifies likely driving mechanisms, and forecasts future damage. Operators can locate defects, track their growth over time, and prioritize maintenance actions before failures occur, shifting from reactive repairs to proactive asset management.
Target Audience
Primary customers are operators of pipelines, refineries, chemical processing plants, and other critical industrial assets that require ongoing integrity monitoring and proactive maintenance planning.
Features
- Handheld inspection devices for rapid field assessment of corrosion, cracks, wall loss, and weld defects in hard‑to‑reach areas
- Permanently installed sensor wrap that continuously measures material thickness and structural changes, creating a live data feed
- Digital twin integration that maps sensor data onto asset models for spatial visualization of degradation
- Predictive maintenance platform with heatmaps, timelines, and root‑cause analysis linking damage to operating conditions
- Automated alerts and risk scoring to highlight emerging defects and suggest maintenance priorities
- Cloud‑based analytics pipeline that aggregates sensor streams for trend analysis and forecasting
