Mobile AI Inspection for Oil & Gas

Mobile AI Inspection for Oil and Gas Asset Integrity

Standardize mechanical and electrical inspections across large oil and gas sites with guided mobile checklists, offline capture, AI-assisted defect detection, automated reporting, and audit-ready traceability.

Executive Summary

Ombrulla Mobile AI Inspection converts routine field rounds into consistent, decision-grade results. Inspection plans are pushed to the inspector mobile app, assets are identified by zone, and asset-specific checklists guide evidence capture. The system evaluates captured images and inspection data to surface defects, anomalies, and risks quickly while producing an audit-ready record by default.

  • Reduce inspection variability across inspectors, shifts, and sites by standardizing checklists and decision criteria.
  • Shorten the inspection-to-action cycle by validating findings at the point of work and escalating issues immediately.
  • Strengthen compliance confidence with traceability from capture to decision to action and closure.

Operational Context (Oil and Gas)

Typical inspection scope across a large facility includes:

Mechanical assets inspection icon

Mechanical Assets

Pipelines, valves, pumps, compressors, tanks, rotating equipment, structural supports.

Electrical assets inspection icon

Electrical Assets

Switchgear, MCC panels, transformers, motors, control panels, gauges and indicators.

Safety-critical rounds icon

Safety-Critical Rounds

Signage, barriers, housekeeping, restricted-zone checks, permit-to-work evidence capture.

Current Challenges and Pain Points

Inconsistent Inspections

Subjective decisions and uneven documentation across inspectors and shifts.

Inconsistent inspections icon

Delayed Action

Photos and notes are reviewed later, increasing exposure to downtime, failures, and incidents.

Delayed action icon

Fragmented Evidence

Images, checklists, and readings are stored in different systems, weakening traceability.

Fragmented evidence icon

Vast Site Realities

Long routes, hard-to-reach equipment, variable lighting, harsh environments.

Additional challenges include connectivity constraints where offline zones create gaps in timely reporting and follow-up.

How the Solution Works

Plan and push inspection routes

1. Plan & Push

Plan and push inspection routes and checklists to the inspector mobile app (by asset class, criticality, and zone).

Identify asset and capture evidence

2. Identify & Capture

Inspector identifies the asset using the zone system, opens the asset checklist, and captures required images and readings.

AI-assisted evaluation

3. AI Evaluation

AI-assisted evaluation analyses captured evidence to surface defects and anomalies and validate readings where applicable.

Immediate results and alerts

4. Instant Results

Results return immediately with severity and recommended actions, triggering alerts and maintenance follow-ups.

Audit-ready record

5. Audit Record

All evidence and outcomes are stored as an audit-ready record for compliance, analytics, and continuous improvement.

Customer Outcomes

  • Faster inspection cycles and fewer repeat visits through guided capture and immediate validation.
  • Earlier detection of degradation to reduce unplanned downtime exposure and improve reliability.
  • Consistent decisions across sites using standardised checklists and evidence requirements.
  • Improved audit readiness with structured reporting and complete traceability.

Prove ROI Quickly

Baseline cycle time, revisit rate, and time-to-work-order closure; run a pilot on critical assets and quantify avoided rework and faster action.
