Digital Twin for Asset Integrity in Beijing — NDT Data on a Live 3D Model
Atlantis NDT Digital Twin gives integrity teams in Beijing, China one 3D model of the asset with every UT, PAUT, TOFD, RT, MT, PT and ET reading mapped to the exact location it was taken. Corrosion rates trend automatically, API 581 RBI scores update as data lands, and API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 Level 1 and Level 2 assessments run against measured thickness instead of a spreadsheet snapshot.
The Beijing asset base this is built for
Beijing is the corporate centre of Sinopec, CNPC (PetroChina), and CNOOC — the three largest Chinese national oil companies — coordinating refining at Yanshan (BPCC, 200,000 bpd), the Beijing-Hebei petrochemical estates, and engineering decision-making across all of China's downstream and upstream operations. The State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) administers pressure-equipment inspection under GB 150 and TSG 21, and the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment oversees the air-quality-driven downstream emission limits. The 'dual carbon' decarbonisation strategy, the CCUS pilot projects, and the green hydrogen build-out create new asset classes ideally captured in digital twins coordinated from Beijing engineering offices.

What operators in Beijing actually get out of it
Beijing-coordinated Sinopec, CNPC and CNOOC operators running NDT digital twins typically reduce SAMR (GB 150 / TSG 21) evidence prep by 55% and defer CNY 60-160M per major unit of conservative-replacement capex.
Local use cases
- Sinopec Yanshan (BPCC) refinery digital twins.
- CNOOC Bohai Bay offshore platform digital twins (coordinated from Beijing).
- CCUS pilot-project injection-and-capture digital twins.
Compliance frameworks this maps to
- GB 150 / TSG 21
- SAMR
- China Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code
- API 579
Case study
A Beijing-headquartered NDT firm used the Atlantis NDT Digital Twin to coordinate inspection across three Sinopec refineries simultaneously, reducing cross-site planning overhead by 55%.
How the twin is built
Capture the geometry (LiDAR, photogrammetry, drone survey, or import your existing BIM/CAD and isometrics), ingest inspection data over REST API or file drop from any instrument, overlay the governing damage mechanisms per API RP 571, then publish colour-coded remaining-life and RBI views to integrity, maintenance and planning. Records are retained audit-ready under ISO 9001, ISO 17020 and ISO 17025.
Integrations
SAP PM, Oracle eAM, IBM Maximo, ServiceNow, AVEVA PI, OSIsoft historians, Bentley iTwin, Cognite and Atlantis NDT ERP. Full REST API and bulk data export — you keep your data in a format you can leave with.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Atlantis Digital Twin work in Beijing?
We start with a 3D scan of your asset (drone, laser, photogrammetry), build a CAD-fidelity model, and then overlay every NDT inspection event (UT thickness readings, TOFD/PAUT scans, MT/PT indications, RT defect maps). Inspection data updates the model in real-time and colour-codes condition zones for engineering review. Operators in Beijing use this to drive faster turnaround scoping, automated FFS evidence, and audit-grade regulatory reporting.
What does Digital Twin NDT cost in Beijing?
Atlantis Digital Twin is an affordable, accessible, fully customizable enterprise SaaS platform sized for up to 500 assets, with ASNT Level III consulting and unlimited NDT data ingest included. Enterprise tiers are available for multi-site fleets, and on-prem deployment is offered at the same price point. Request a Beijing-specific quote and we will model your asset count and data-volume requirements.
How long does deployment take in Beijing?
A typical first-asset deployment runs 8-12 weeks: 2 weeks model build, 2 weeks data integration, 2-4 weeks workflow configuration, 2 weeks user training. Multi-asset rollouts are sequenced asset-by-asset after the first deployment is live, with each subsequent asset typically taking 4-6 weeks once the platform is configured for your Beijing site.
Which NDT standards does the platform support in Beijing?
API 510 (pressure vessels), API 570 (piping), API 653 (storage tanks), API 579 FFS, API 581 RBI, ASME Section V articles 2/4/6/7, ISO 9712 personnel qualification, ASNT SNT-TC-1A, and local code requirements depending on Beijing's regulatory environment. Custom reporting templates can be configured for any additional national or operator-specific code.
Can Atlantis Digital Twin integrate with our existing CMMS in Beijing?
Yes. We support REST API hooks for IBM Maximo, SAP PM, IFS, Oracle EAM, and most major CMMS platforms. Work-order creation, asset master sync, anomaly hand-off into corrective work, and FFS evidence packaging for management-of-change submittals can all be automated, allowing your Beijing integrity team to focus on engineering judgement rather than data entry.
