Digital Twin for Asset Integrity in Rio de Janeiro — NDT Data on a Live 3D Model
Atlantis NDT Digital Twin gives integrity teams in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 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 Rio de Janeiro asset base this is built for
Rio de Janeiro is the operational headquarters of Petrobras — coordinating the entire pre-salt deepwater portfolio including Búzios, Tupi, Mero, Sépia, and Itapu — alongside the REDUC refinery at Duque de Caxias (242,000 bpd) and the COMPERJ petrochemical complex (currently being completed by Petrobras). The Macaé/Búzios offshore service base coordinates Brazil's massive FPSO fleet, and the Brasfels, Mauá, and Inhaúma shipyards drive structural inspection demand. The Agência Nacional do Petróleo (ANP) administers integrity-management oversight, and Petrobras' own internal AIM standards drive a cohesive digital twin investment programme across the Campos and Santos basins.

What operators in Rio de Janeiro actually get out of it
Rio-coordinated Petrobras pre-salt operators running NDT digital twins typically reduce ANP life-extension evidence prep by 60% and defer BRL 120-300M per major asset of conservative-replacement capex.
Local use cases
- Petrobras Búzios, Tupi, Mero pre-salt FPSO digital twins.
- REDUC refinery hot-reactor digital twins.
- COMPERJ petrochemical commissioning-baseline digital twins.
Compliance frameworks this maps to
- ANP
- IBAMA
- NR-13
- API 579
- DNV/ABS class society
Case study
A Petrobras contractor used the Atlantis NDT Digital Twin on FPSO Búzios to extend hull-plating life-extension certification by 5 years, supporting ANP acceptance.
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 Rio de Janeiro?
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 Rio de Janeiro use this to drive faster turnaround scoping, automated FFS evidence, and audit-grade regulatory reporting.
What does Digital Twin NDT cost in Rio de Janeiro?
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 Rio de Janeiro-specific quote and we will model your asset count and data-volume requirements.
How long does deployment take in Rio de Janeiro?
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 Rio de Janeiro site.
Which NDT standards does the platform support in Rio de Janeiro?
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 Rio de Janeiro'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 Rio de Janeiro?
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 Rio de Janeiro integrity team to focus on engineering judgement rather than data entry.
