API 653 Compliant Tank Repair Planning with Robotics and Artificial Intelligence

Gecko Robotics, October 16, 2024

Webinar Overview

Storage tank management is complex, especially with dozens of tanks on different timescales with different needs. Owner-operators must manage maintenance, API 653 compliance, and planning across their fleet, but conventional approaches make prioritizing and budgeting repairs and maintenance nearly impossible.

Intuitive software that incorporates advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics can provide the capability to generate API 653-compliant repair plans with just a few clicks. Such software can make it possible to run various budget, process, and time-related scenarios across your fleet, giving you a complete picture of priorities to conserve valuable resources.

Inspectioneering teams up with Gecko Robotics for our latest webinar, “API 653 Compliant Tank Repair Planning with Robotics and Artificial Intelligence.” In this webinar, Ron Preston and Jean Butel from Gecko Robotics walk through the process from robotic data collection to advanced AI analysis and predictive modeling to get the most out of your tank integrity program.
