Italo Dourado Affonso, Digital Asset Maintenance at Petrobras, presents Asset360 and the work behind scaling digital twins across an offshore portfolio. His focus is a practical corrosion use case: using images already captured on offshore assets to give maintenance teams a more consistent view of coating condition.
Asset360 brings together information that would otherwise sit in separate systems, including 3D models, maintenance records, project documents, real-time data and photographs. Teams can find an item of equipment, see where it is and review nearby conditions before planning work. Italo explains why current images matter alongside detailed 3D models: offshore assets change, and a model may take time to reflect what is actually in the field.
Petrobras captures thousands of images per asset across more than 70 assets. Italo reports that access to those images has reduced offshore travel for inspection and planning activities by around 30%, with a reduction of more than 50% for planning activities alone. The existing image collection also created an opportunity to assess corrosion at scale.
The presentation shows how AI identifies areas of paint degradation in the images, classifies what it sees and calculates a coating index to help compare assets. Previously, that assessment relied heavily on an inspector’s observations and could vary from person to person. The AI result still goes to specialists for interpretation and feedback, but a repeatable method can help teams spot discrepancies, improve the model and prioritise maintenance campaigns more consistently.
Italo closes by explaining how Petrobras is connecting its digital asset tools through a shared data platform. This gives teams a clearer way to exchange and improve information across applications as the programme grows.
