Bureau Veritas has launched AI-driven tool, Extended Surveyor 3D
Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore has introduced Extended Surveying 3D (AGS 3D), an AI-powered inspection tool designed for structural inspections of ships and offshores.
Tools with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning capabilities are designed to enhance anomaly detection and localization, thereby optimizing the testing process.
The BV completed the successful pilot of AGS 3D at a West African FPSO and worked with the whole cries. The pilot program included drone-based inspections of two water ballast tanks.
AGS 3D was used to process all data, resulting in a comprehensive 3D digital model featuring AI-enhanced corrosion analysis.
The success of the pilot has encouraged full productivity to consider expanding the use of this technology to additional assets.
“Totalenergies project leader at innovation accelerator Tatiana Akimova said:
“Not only does it improve team safety, this also optimizes maintenance planning and decision-making processes. Thanks to the collaboration efforts and the Total Inage Navy Architecture Team and Bureau Veritas, the successful testing and future deployment of AGS 3D in the offshore fleet is a testament to our efforts to ensure the environment to ensure the environment for asset.
AGS 3D tools automate critical tasks such as anomaly detection, corrosion mapping, 3D modeling, promoting safety, and increasing efficiency.
By integrating AI, the tool processes extensive data from drone surveys, such as images, videos, and LIDAR scans, automatically detects anomalies and maps them to 3D models.
This reduces the time and resources required to process data, while providing accurate defect localization.
Matthieu de Tugny, president of Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore, said:
“AGS 3D allows for automatic detection and localization of defects, indicating important advances in remote inspection technology and enhanced investigations. This innovation further supports stakeholders in asset integrity management and optimizing inspection workflows.”
The application of this tool extends to a variety of ocean and offshore sectors and offers advantages such as 360° visualization, optimized maintenance planning, and data-driven decision making.
