In the search to drive value for Corrosion & Asset Integrity Management, the Company has embarked on a journey towards industrial mobility. Mobile, internet-connected devices in industry, similar to the smart devices used on our day-to-day activities, are the future of our industrial operations to enable higher effectiveness by capturing event data in real time, allowing fast deployment of findings from the field for quicker data assessment, and supporting people empowerment. This paper will share the Company’s journey toward industrial mobility, for the monitoring of corrosion control activities (such as operational pigging, corrosion coupon and corrosion inhibitor residual), by the use of smart devices. An application was developed to capture the field information in the smart device and further connect to a centralized/organized database with automated data processing (analysis, trends, graphs, dashboards and notifications) to ensure high quality information for the Corrosion Control Engineers to proactively action accordingly.
