SPICA CRAWLER
PIPELINE HEALTH AND LIFE ASSESSMENT
Autonomous AI Pipeline Inspection & Life-Assessment System
SPICA Crawler is an autonomous, self-adaptive robotic inspection system designed to crawl inside pipelines of varying diameters and perform ultra-high-resolution AI-driven health assessment of pipeline infrastructure.
Built on physics-driven intelligence and deep-learning models, SPICA Crawler goes beyond defect detection — it delivers actionable remaining-life intelligence and replacement strategies in real time.
-
Detects micro-cracks as small as 10 microns
-
Identifies pitting, wall thinning, and structural degradation
-
Classifies corrosion type and degree (surface, localized, uniform, progressive)
-
Maps wall-loss percentage across the pipeline length
Ultra-Fine Defect Detection
-
Differentiates critical defects from surface anomalies
-
Grades damage based on risk, growth potential, and location
-
Builds a digital defect profile for every inspected segment
-
Eliminates false positives and manual interpretation errors
AI-Driven Damage Intelligence
Once defects are detected, SPICA Crawler immediately transitions into a physics-based structural assessment, using:
-
Material properties
-
Pressure cycles
-
Fatigue models
-
Environmental and operational stress factors
Physics-Driven Remaining Life Assessment
Actionable decisions, not raw data.
-
Recommends repair, reinforcement, or replacement
-
Identifies when intervention is required — not just where
-
Supports risk-based maintenance planning
-
Prevents over-engineering and premature asset replacement
Repair & Replacement Strategy Intelligence
-
Fits into existing operations.
-
Deployable on live or planned inspection cycles
-
Integrates with asset management & integrity systems
-
Outputs structured reports and digital health models
-
Scalable from single pipelines to network-level monitoring
Easy Integration &
Deployment
Regulatory & Integrity Alignment
SPICA Crawler supports alignment with:
-
Pipeline Integrity Management Programs (PIMP)
-
Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) frameworks
-
Asset Lifecycle Management (ALM) requirements
-
Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) strategies
-
National and international pipeline safety and reliability norms
(Exact standards alignment can be configured based on customer jurisdiction and sector.)
Safety & Assurances
-
Early detection of safety-critical defects before leak or rupture
-
Objective defect grading to eliminate subjective human bias
-
Remaining life intelligence to avoid operation beyond safe limits
-
Prevention of unplanned shutdowns and environmental incidents
-
Improved workforce safety by reducing manual and intrusive inspections
Audit Ready, Defensible Intelligence
-
Generates traceable inspection data and defect maps
-
Provides quantified severity scores and risk indicators
-
Enables data-backed maintenance and replacement decisions
-
Supports post-incident analysis and regulatory reporting
Every inspection creates a verifiable digital record that can be presented to regulators, insurers, and safety auditors with confidence.
Designed for Critical Infrastructure
SPICA Crawler is suitable for:
-
Oil & Gas transmission and distribution pipelines
-
Refineries, petrochemical plants, and terminals
-
Water, wastewater, and utility pipelines
-
Ports, industrial zones, and strategic infrastructure
-
Defense and high-security installations
