Corrosion is an inevitable phenomenon and a major challenge for industry. It silently attacks metal equipment, compromising its reliability and lifespan. Not only does it lead to significant economic losses, it also affects the safety of industrial facilities. Faced with this challenge, our Linspec Cloud solution is positioned as a key tool to help manufacturers anticipate, manage and reduce corrosion-related risks.
The impact of corrosion on the industrial world
The interaction between metal, humidity, chemical agents and other physical factors creates an electrochemical reaction that weakens the material’s structure.
This natural process gradually degrades certain industrial plants and has considerable financial consequences, due to :
- replacement of damaged equipment,
- production losses due to maintenance and repair shutdowns.
Studies estimate that corrosion costs between 2.5% and 4.5% of global GDP, a figure that underlines the scale of the problem. Beyond the economic problem, corrosion also affects the environment through the potential leakage of chemicals from degraded installations.
Combating corrosion, a major challenge
Designed to meet the needs of heavy industry, the SaaS Linspec Cloud solution is dedicated to industrial equipment inspection. The solution enables you to monitor an entire fleet of equipment, and identify potential problems without stopping operations. It is particularly well-suited to monitoring corrosion-related control points , and offers a wide range of functions:
- Equipment condition monitoring,
- Non-destructive testing management,
- Follow-up of essential control points (qualitative and quantitative, such as thickness measurements) on the various equipment,
- Identification of degradation modes, including corrosion, on various equipment,
- Development of inspection plans adapted to the monitoring of degradation modes,
- Facilitate collaboration between teams thanks to real-time access to data for all stakeholders.
The importance of anticipation
At SIRFULL, we believe that the key to mastering the challenges of corrosion lies in anticipation and innovation. Linspec Cloud is adapted to any industrial site (with or without a Recognized Inspection Service, high and low threshold SEVESO sites…) and puts technology at the service of industrialists to protect their assets.
Don’t let corrosion take control. Opt for tools that enable you to quickly detect areas vulnerable to corrosion and prioritize your interventions.
