BV launches new collaborative technology platform

TIN news:  Bureau Veritas has developed a new asset integrity management (AIM) system named Veristar AIM3D. The technology platform is powered by Dassault Systèmes and designed to reduce the capex and opex exposure of operators in the shipping and offshore industries.

According to the classifiaction society, Veristar AIM3D is the evolution of its existing Asset Integrity Management services. The system is based on Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE platform and combines a digital twin of any marine or offshore assets with smart data in a collaborative environment.  The new technology platform is conceived to be used from the design stage, through construction, and throughout the operational lifecycle, to reflect and predict the condition of any asset, or fleet of assets. Furthermore, it supports risk based inspection and condition based maintenance approaches.

In particullar, Veristar AIM3D provides asset management dashboards for individual ships, rigs or facilities – or for entire fleets, enabling smarter decisions based on better visibility of actual asset condition and performance. The company says that this  solution will reduce costs during operations and provide return of experience data to better inform design and construction, so helping address the twin challenges of reducing both CAPEX and OPEX. Fragmented IT environments are also being addressed by Veristar AIM3D. The solution is asset adaptable and suitable for operators and fleet managers of conventional ships.

BV further outlines that Veristar AIM3D is combining the available technology and industry needs, enhancing safety, risk and operational management to move beyond traditional reporting structures. When used to its full potential Veristar AIM3D could lead to a complete change in how inspection, maintenance and repair activities are prepared and reported. Data, presented in concise dashboards, will be immediately available to all stakeholders having access to the asset Veristar AIM3D platform.
