Digital Twin for Asset Integrity in Kawasaki — NDT Data on a Live 3D Model
Atlantis NDT Digital Twin gives integrity teams in Kawasaki, Japan 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 Kawasaki asset base this is built for
Kawasaki's Keihin industrial belt combines ENEOS's refining and logistics complex, JFE Steel's East Japan Works, Resonac's chemical plant, and Tokyo Gas's Ogishima LNG import terminal — one of Japan's busiest LNG receiving points. Much of the belt's process infrastructure dates to the 1960s-70s, and Nankai Trough earthquake risk drives both seismic structural assessment and KHK-mandated high-pressure gas facility reinspection under the High Pressure Gas Safety Act. Cryogenic LNG storage, ageing steelworks vessels, and dense waterfront piping make 3D digital-twin visualization tied to PAUT thickness data and RBI programs critical for coordinating shutdown scope and seismic fitness-for-service assessment across the industrial belt.

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 Kawasaki?
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 Kawasaki use this to drive faster turnaround scoping, automated FFS evidence, and audit-grade regulatory reporting.
What does Digital Twin NDT cost in Kawasaki?
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 Kawasaki-specific quote and we will model your asset count and data-volume requirements.
How long does deployment take in Kawasaki?
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 Kawasaki site.
Which NDT standards does the platform support in Kawasaki?
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 Kawasaki'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 Kawasaki?
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 Kawasaki integrity team to focus on engineering judgement rather than data entry.
