What AiOM is
Asset integrity management, built by the people who investigate the failures
AiOM (Asset Integrity Optimization and Management) is TCR Advanced Engineering's platform for what the industry generically calls Asset Integrity Management (AIM). It exists to answer the three questions every plant manager actually asks: which equipment can hurt us, what condition is it really in, and how long can it safely run.
Most asset integrity software is written by software companies. AiOM is different. It is built on TCR Advanced's own record: 10,000+ failure-analysis cases, a 1,50,000+ image microstructure database, 500+ Fitness for Service assessments and 1,000+ refinery cases across 26+ years of process-industry work in India and the Middle East. Every risk model, damage mechanism screen and inspection recommendation in the platform is backed by that evidence, by an NABL accredited laboratory (TC-6739) and by field NDT teams who execute what the plan calls for.
That is the difference between a dashboard and a decision. AiOM does not stop at a colour-coded risk grid. It carries each finding through to the engineering call: run, repair, re-rate or retire, with the Fitness for Service and Remaining Life Assessment logic to defend that call in front of a regulator or an insurer.
Figure 1. The AiOM spine. Plant data drives four engineering engines; their output is a defensible decision and a live, risk-ranked inspection plan that keeps learning.
Inside the platform
Six modules, one data spine
Each module stands on a recognised code. Together they replace the scattered spreadsheets, expired drawings and tribal memory that pass for integrity management in most plants.
Risk Based Inspection
Probability and consequence of failure evaluated per equipment item, so inspection money goes where the risk is, not where the calendar says.
API RP 580 · API RP 581
Fitness for Service
Level 1 to Level 3 assessment of metal loss, pitting, cracking, creep and fire damage. The answer to "can this vessel keep running", in writing.
API 579-1 / ASME FFS-1
Remaining Life Assessment
RLA of boilers, heaters, reformer tubes, pressure vessels and piping, combining in-situ metallography, NDT and creep-life models.
IBR 1950 · Omega / ACRT
Integrity Operating Windows
Safe operating envelopes for each corrosion loop, with alerts when process excursions start consuming equipment life.
API RP 584
Damage Mechanism Library
Every credible mechanism for your units screened per API RP 571, backed by TCR Advanced's own archive of 10,000+ investigated failures.
API RP 571
MIQA Records and QA
Equipment registers, written inspection and test plans, deficiency tracking and quality assurance documentation, aligned to Process Safety Management.
OSHA 1910.119(j) · CCPS

Process Safety Management
Mechanical Integrity, built in. MIQA, also on its own.
Asset integrity and process safety are the same discipline seen from two directions. The Mechanical Integrity and Quality Assurance (MIQA) element of Process Safety Management, defined in OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119(j) and the CCPS guidelines, requires exactly what AiOM operationalises: an equipment register for pressure vessels, storage tanks, piping, relief and vent systems, emergency shutdown systems, controls and pumps; written inspection and test procedures; intervals set to recognised and generally accepted good engineering practice; trained people; documented correction of deficiencies; and quality assurance from fabrication to spare parts.
Run AiOM and the MIQA element of your PSM programme stops being a binder that only gets opened before an audit. It becomes the way the plant actually operates.
Need MIQA before, or without, the software?
TCR Advanced also delivers Mechanical Integrity and Quality Assurance as a standalone service: criticality register, inspection and test plans, PMI and QA of repairs, and audit-ready documentation. Built for small and medium chemical and petrochemical plants.
Small and medium plants
You do not need an integrity department. You need AiOM.
India's chemical and petrochemical growth is not only happening at refineries. It is happening in small and medium scale plants across Gujarat's industrial estates and their counterparts nationwide, plants running reactors, boilers and pressure vessels that are ageing faster than the teams looking after them are growing. Most cannot justify a full-time integrity cell. All of them face the same statutory inspections, the same insurance surveys and the same consequences when a vessel or a boiler fails.
AiOM is deployed in scaled configurations for exactly this situation. A typical SME engagement starts with a criticality register of pressure equipment, an RBI screening and a one-year, risk-ranked inspection plan executed by TCR Advanced's own NDT and laboratory teams. The plant gets a running integrity programme from month one, evidence that satisfies the factory inspector and the insurer, and a platform that grows module by module as the plant grows.
How a deployment runs
Asset census and criticality register
Every pressure vessel, boiler, column, exchanger, tank and critical line catalogued with design data, history and consequence ranking.
1
Damage mechanism review
Credible mechanisms screened per API RP 571 against process conditions, drawing on TCR Advanced's investigation archive for your industry.
2
RBI and inspection planning
Risk ranking per API 580/581 converted into a live inspection plan: right technique, right location, right interval.
3
Execution and evidence
Field NDT, in-situ metallography and laboratory testing performed by NABL accredited teams (TC-6739, TC-13053); results land in the platform, not in a drawer.
4
The engineering call, and the loop
Findings carried through FFS and RLA to a signed decision. Intervals update, Integrity Operating Windows tighten, and the programme learns your plant year on year.
5
Proof
Where AiOM already works
Fertiliser complex, 50 pressure equipment items
Full AiOM deployment with inspection-density and corrosion-rate logic across the pressure equipment inventory, converting scattered records into one live integrity programme.
​
Reformer tubes, creep-life managed
The ARTiS integrated NDT approach plus in-situ metallography feed reformer-tube remaining-life positions directly into the platform's re-inspection intervals.
Refinery pressure systems, FFS-backed decisions
Fitness for Service assessments per API 579-1 have repeatedly converted forced replacements into defensible continued operation, with the record to prove it.

Questions plants ask us
AiOM, answered
AiOM stands for Asset Integrity Optimization and Management. It is TCR Advanced Engineering's platform for the discipline generically called Asset Integrity Management (AIM). AiOM brings Risk Based Inspection (API 580/581), Fitness for Service (API 579-1/ASME FFS-1), Remaining Life Assessment, Integrity Operating Windows (API RP 584) and a damage mechanism library (API RP 571) onto one data spine, so inspection effort goes where the risk actually is.
RBI software ranks equipment. AiOM ranks equipment and then closes the loop: the same platform holds the FFS and RLA logic, the Integrity Operating Windows, and a damage mechanism library built from 10,000+ failure investigations and a 1,50,000+ image microstructure archive. The recommendations are backed by an NABL accredited laboratory (TC-6739) and field NDT teams, so findings become engineering decisions, not just colour-coded risk grids.
Yes. AiOM is deployed in scaled configurations for small and medium scale chemical and petrochemical plants that do not carry an in-house integrity cell. A typical SME deployment starts with a criticality register of pressure equipment, an RBI screening, and a one-year inspection plan, then grows module by module.
Yes. AiOM operationalises the Mechanical Integrity and Quality Assurance (MIQA) element of Process Safety Management: equipment registers, written inspection and test plans, RAGAGEP-based intervals, deficiency tracking and quality assurance records all live on the platform. TCR Advanced also delivers MIQA as a standalone service for plants that need the programme before, or without, the software.
API RP 580 and API RP 581 for Risk Based Inspection, API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 for Fitness for Service, API RP 571 for damage mechanisms, API RP 584 for Integrity Operating Windows, API 510, API 570 and API 653 for pressure vessel, piping and tank inspection, and IBR 1950 where boilers are involved.
