Digital Twin for Asset Integrity in Taiwan — NDT Data on a Live 3D Model
Atlantis NDT Digital Twin gives integrity teams in Taiwan, Taiwan 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 Taiwan asset base this is built for
Taiwan operates a major downstream refining sector despite limited domestic hydrocarbon resources, with CPC Corporation Taiwan running the Kaohsiung, Taoyuan, and Talin refineries (collectively 720,000 bpd) and the Yongan LNG receiving terminal, and the Formosa Plastics Group operating the Mailiao Refining and Petrochemical Complex (540,000 bpd, the sixth-largest single-site refinery globally). The Taipower nuclear fleet (Maanshan, Kuosheng), the offshore wind farms in the Taiwan Strait (Greater Changhua operated by Ørsted), and the dense semiconductor manufacturing at TSMC drive parallel inspection demand. CNS (Chinese National Standards) and OSHA Taiwan administer compliance under typhoon and seismic exposure ideally suited to digital twin programmes.

What operators in Taiwan actually get out of it
Taiwanese CPC, Formosa Plastics and Taipower operators running NDT digital twins typically defer TWD 180-450M per major unit of conservative-replacement capex.
Local use cases
- CPC Kaohsiung, Taoyuan and Talin refinery digital twins.
- Formosa Plastics Mailiao cracker and refinery digital twins.
- Greater Changhua (Ørsted) offshore wind monopile digital twins.
Compliance frameworks this maps to
- CNS
- OSHA Taiwan
- NRA Taiwan
- API 579
- DNV
Case study
A Formosa Plastics Mailiao contractor used the Atlantis NDT Digital Twin on cracker furnace tubes to defer tube-bundle replacement by 16 months.
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 Taiwan?
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 Taiwan use this to drive faster turnaround scoping, automated FFS evidence, and audit-grade regulatory reporting.
What does Digital Twin NDT cost in Taiwan?
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 Taiwan-specific quote and we will model your asset count and data-volume requirements.
How long does deployment take in Taiwan?
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 Taiwan site.
Which NDT standards does the platform support in Taiwan?
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 Taiwan'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 Taiwan?
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 Taiwan integrity team to focus on engineering judgement rather than data entry.
