Efficient Asset Management with Real-Time Monitoring

Event Driven Inspection

Event Driven Inspection

Event-Driven Inspection (EDI) is a proactive inspection strategy that leverages real-time data from sensors, condition monitoring systems, and operational parameters (the “events”) to trigger or adjust inspection activities. This approach shifts the focus from rigid, time-based, or even fixed-interval risk-based schedules to a dynamic, condition-based model.

What It Does

Event-Driven Inspection enables real-time risk notifications when an asset’s integrity is threatened. Using pre-defined thresholds for key process variables, the system detects when those limits are exceeded and immediately alerts operators — helping them act before a potential issue escalates.

Why does it do it?

Traditional inspection programs rely on periodic checks that can overlook rapid or unexpected process changes. Visionnect’s event-driven approach shifts the focus from reactive to proactive integrity management, identifying potential risks as they occur.

The Gap: Why EDI is Needed

Despite the strengths of RBI and OSI, certain scenarios can lead to unexpected failures:

Rapidly Accelerating Damage

Some damage mechanisms (e.g., localized corrosion, stress corrosion cracking) can accelerate quickly and may not be detected by routine RBI intervals or continuous OSI unless specifically monitored.

Operational Changes/Upsets

Process changes, excursions, or upsets can introduce new stresses or accelerate existing degradation, necessitating immediate reassessment beyond scheduled plans.

Anomalous Sensor Readings

OSI might indicate an anomaly, but further investigation (an "event-driven" inspection) is often required to understand its root cause and severity.

Third-Party Information

Incidents at similar facilities or new industry findings can trigger the need for immediate localized inspections.

Unforeseen Circumstances

External events (e.g., seismic activity) or maintenance interventions can impact asset integrity.

Key Benefits

  • Optimized Maintenance Costs
  • Improved Asset Integrity Knowledge
  • Increased Operational Flexibility
  • Compliance and Due Diligence
  • Reduced Unscheduled Downtime

Real-Time Integrity Monitoring for Proactive Decision-Making and Inspection.

proactively identifying and addressing emerging threats, EDI reduces the likelihood of catastrophic failures, protecting personnel and the environment.


Early detection of degradation allows for planned interventions rather than reactive, emergency shutdowns, minimizing production losses.
