Safely Operate Your Assets with Maximum Output for the Longest Time Possible with Akselos SPM

Page last modified

October 1 2024

Akselos is a global leader in Structural Performance Management (SPM). Our real-time structural digital twins enhance asset performance, ensure uninterrupted operations and extend asset life across the petrochemical and offshore oil & gas sector. Consequently, assets can operate safely, with the maximum output for the longest time possible.

Akselos brings a revolutionary approach to structural simulation by blending state of the art, high-fidelity, physics-based modeling with advanced artificial intelligence. This introduction of our groundbreaking and patented physics-based modeling sets new standards, enabling the use of high-fidelity structural models in real-time for operations use cases.

Our Structural Performance Management (SPM) Software is:

- 1000x faster than legacy physics-based models and therefore applicable for real-time operations use cases
- Compliant with major industry standards (e.g. API, ASME)
- Applicable for fitness for service (FFS) and risk-based inspection assessments in full conformance with engineering standards
- Accessible anytime, anywhere through a web-based user interface

Pros & Limitations

Run fully detailed global analysis of large-scale assets, based on real-life physical scenarios, in few seconds

Practically unlimited scalability to capture exact condition of an asset by incorporating real-life inspection data in the global model (e.g. cracks, corrosion, damage, fatigue regions)

Digital Twin calibration based on sensor and inspection data to allow integrity calculations based on real loads

Identify which exact component of your asset would fail, under thousands of different scenarios

Asset Life Extension through increased modelling accuracy and consideration of actual loading regime

Consider thousands of possible in-service conditions and scenarios to produce rich, physics based, predictive data sets for Machine Learning to fill gaps in data gathered from field operations and augment Digital Twins based on big data analytics.

Support for live asset monitoring and interpretation of sensor data

Asset-based license and cloud-based hosting to allow unrestricted deployment, seamless knowledge sharing and collaboration

Integration with asset management software

Focused on Structural Integrity but based on an open environment for integration to other simulation tools
