Founded in Australia in 2014,now headquartered out of Houston, Texas, ABYSS is building the world’s most capable Visual Intelligence and 3D Data Platform. They take complex, messy reality via advanced data capture and make it simple, trustworthy, and ready to act on. ABYSS Fabric™, maintains a 3D model of the asset, anchors observations to their physical location, and enables consistent condition grading across inspectors and inspection campaigns, making changes over time easier to identify and act on.
Core solutions and services
- Pressure system integrity management (PSIM): supports risk prioritization at the line and defect level by incorporating observed physical condition and defect data into pressure system integrity workflows.
- Coatings management (CM): assesses coating condition using ISO 4628-3 or client-defined rules, quantifies areas requiring attention, and helps prioritize maintenance campaigns.
- Inspection and integrity services: inspection planning and tracking, integrity engineering, and robotic or remote data capture above and below the waterline.
- Advanced asset digitization: AI-assisted condition grading against applicable frameworks, together with as-built 3D and CAD model generation.
Why choose ABYSS?
- Persistent 3D context: ABYSS Fabric™ connects inspection findings to the physical components and locations of an asset, creating a condition record that can be compared across campaigns.
- AI-powered condition assessment: machine learning and computer vision support the detection and categorization of corrosion, structural damage, and coating condition.
- Multimodal data capture: ABYSS works with high-resolution imagery, photogrammetry, LiDAR, point clouds, and robotic or remote inspection systems.
- Specialized subsea capabilities: Lantern Eye produces photorealistic 3D models and sub-millimeter metrology for subsea and splash-zone inspections. ABS class certification, for Lantern Eye subsea metrology
- Reduced human exposure: remote and robotic data capture can reduce the need to place personnel in hazardous or difficult-to-access inspection environments.
Selected projects and relationships
ABYSS holds an R&D contract with Petrobras covering Ativo360, with an announced initial scope across Petrobras’ offshore platform fleet.
In the Gulf of Mexico, ABYSS has onboarded and continues to serve an entire fleet of offshore facilities for one of the largest operators in the United States. On projects of this scale, topside data classified by ABYSS reaches up to a 95% coverage in months, against roughly 20% a year by manual walkdown.
Other projects done for supermajor operators have estimated a 60% reduction in Inspection and maintenance scoping costs when using ABYSS Fabric to direct their inspection plans.
ABYSS also maintains a strategic partnership with Applus+, combining NDT and TIC expertise with ABYSS AI and software capabilities.
How we work?
ABYSS turns complex asset data into actionable integrity and maintenance decisions through a continuous, 3D-connected workflow:
- Perceive: Capture the entire asset using multimodal sensors to create a comprehensive and persistent digital record.
- Inspect: Detect relevant features, register asset components in 3D, and connect captured visual data to their precise physical locations.
- Analyze: Track asset condition, features, and defects in 3D over time; search and retrieve inspection data; and generate recommendations, inspection plans, and continuously updated deliverables.
- Direct: Translate insights into action by guiding workers or machines on when and where intervention is required, supporting mission planning today and increasingly automated robotic operations as the platform evolves.
