Our third summer webinar on 10 August with Leroy Dias who Presented on AI powered Corrosion Monitoring was a great success.

Corrosion is a serious threat to all assets, and more so to ships as they operate in a very harsh environment.
By using AI to monitor corrosion we can mitigate some of those threats by identifying the issues and fixing them before they can pose a problem. AI can process a large number of photos quickly and objectively thus eliminating the human centric risk of missing critical areas.
Using an AI model cleverly embedded in a code allows us to derive from the findings and send these actionable insights to ship owners thus enabling better data driven decisions. The findings are also used by ship owners to estimate the resources needed.
The mobile app allows ship’s crew to upload photos effortlessly even in offline mode, thus saving hours of crew time. Shore based managers do not need to go through lengthy reports to figure out how their asset is being maintained as the app provides a historic repository of data and AI tells them where to look.
