Digital Twin for Asset Integrity in Fort Worth — NDT Data on a Live 3D Model
Atlantis NDT Digital Twin gives integrity teams in Fort Worth, USA 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 Fort Worth asset base this is built for
Fort Worth is one of the world's largest defence aerospace manufacturing centres, with Lockheed Martin Aeronautics producing the F-35 Lightning II and Bell Helicopter assembling the V-22 Osprey and V-280 Valor under NAS 410 NDT and AS9100 quality systems. The city also sits atop the Barnett Shale natural-gas play, with XTO Energy's headquarters operating thousands of wells across North Texas, and the BNSF Railway maintenance complex servicing freight locomotives and tank cars. The combination of aerospace fatigue-and-fracture programmes, midstream pipeline integrity, and rail tank-car inspection makes Fort Worth a high-value market for digital twin asset-management platforms.

What operators in Fort Worth actually get out of it
Fort Worth aerospace and Barnett-Shale operators running NDT digital twins on Lockheed F-35, Bell rotorcraft and XTO Energy assets typically reduce NAS 410 and API 570 evidence prep by 50% and defer USD 4-10M per year of conservative-replacement capex.
Local use cases
- Lockheed F-35 airframe component digital twins under NAS 410.
- Bell V-22 and V-280 rotorcraft component digital twins.
- XTO Barnett-Shale gathering-system digital twins with PHMSA evidence.
Compliance frameworks this maps to

Case study
A Fort Worth aerospace supplier used the Atlantis NDT Digital Twin to consolidate 9 years of NAS 410 inspection records, supporting a Lockheed Martin Tier-1 supplier qualification audit with zero findings.
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 Fort Worth?
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 Fort Worth use this to drive faster turnaround scoping, automated FFS evidence, and audit-grade regulatory reporting.
What does Digital Twin NDT cost in Fort Worth?
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 Fort Worth-specific quote and we will model your asset count and data-volume requirements.
How long does deployment take in Fort Worth?
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 Fort Worth site.
Which NDT standards does the platform support in Fort Worth?
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 Fort Worth'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 Fort Worth?
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 Fort Worth integrity team to focus on engineering judgement rather than data entry.
