Wireless Monitoring and Data Solutions
INDUSENZ offers the INVENIO CUI Sensor System, a cutting-edge IIoT wireless sensor solution for monitoring and predicting corrosion under insulation. Trusted worldwide, we help industries reduce risk and boost efficiency.
Wireless monitoring, turned into maintenance decisions
Corrosion under insulation develops out of sight, beneath the cladding, where conventional inspection can only sample a fraction of an asset at a time. The INVENIO CUI Sensor System replaces that sampling with continuous wireless monitoring. EX-certified sensors measure relative humidity and temperature directly underneath the insulation and report the conditions that actually drive corrosion, rather than the conditions a model assumes.
Each sensor reports over standard LoRaWAN to an EX-certified INVENIO gateway, which forwards readings over 4G, Ethernet or Wi-Fi into the INVENIO cloud, or into an operator's own network and systems where one is already in place. What an operator ends up with is a continuous record of where insulation is wet, where it is dry, and how long each condition has persisted, for every instrumented point on the asset.
That data turns corrosion management from a calendar exercise into an evidence-based one. Inspection effort concentrates where the measurements justify it, and intervals extend where they do not, without stripping insulation to find out which is which.
CUI - The Challenge
Resource Constraints
A common assumption of wet insulation in maintenance programs can strain resources and budgets.
Inaccurate Risk Models
Theoretical risk models can lead to inaccurate inspections and missed corrosion.
Risk Assessment Challenges
Multiple water ingress points make risk assessment and inspection planning more challenging and costly.
Outdated Assessments
Risk models often lack real-time inputs, resulting in outdated assessments that fail to reflect current conditions.
CUI - The Solution
Proactive Maintenance Philosophy
Enhances maintenance strategies by addressing root causes to prevent failures.
Improved Maintenance Effectiveness
Improves the effectiveness of preventive, condition-based, and predictive maintenance.
Reliability and Sustainability
Reduces HSE risk and CO2 emissions, and keeps the focus on business cases that maximize ROI.
Real-Time Sensor Data
Enables proactive maintenance to minimize downtime and enhance efficiency.
How the INVENIO system works
Three layers, from the pipe surface through to the systems your integrity team already uses. They are designed to work as one, and each is available on its own.
Measure beneath the insulation
The INVENIO RH-2 sensor is manufactured in-house and EX certified for use in hazardous areas. It is retrofitted onto pipes and equipment without removing insulation, so instrumenting a line does not require stripping and reinstating cladding. The RH-2 reports over standard LoRaWAN, which means it works just as well on a network you already operate as it does on ours.
Collect and transmit wirelessly
The EX-certified INVENIO GW-1 gateway gathers readings from the sensors around it and transmits them onward over 4G, Ethernet or Wi-Fi, bringing coverage to hazardous areas without new cabling and without depending on plant IT. Because the link from sensor to gateway is wireless, extending coverage to another line or vessel means adding sensors rather than routing new cable through a live plant, which is what makes the system practical to scale across an existing facility.
Analyse, integrate and act
The CUI monitoring dashboard shows the current and historical water-wetting state across the whole asset, with the ability to drill into the areas that matter and a Probability of Failure output for the water-wetting barrier of instrumented equipment. Users sign in through their own identity provider via OpenID Connect, and an HTTP API with OAuth 2.0 authorisation, documented to the OpenAPI v3.0 specification, feeds the same data into existing integrity and maintenance systems, or into your own analysis in place of the dashboard.
Taking the full system is the most direct route from a sensor on a pipe to a decision your integrity team can act on, with one supplier accountable end to end. It is not all-or-nothing, though: the RH-2 speaks standard LoRaWAN, so if you already run a network or an analytics platform of your own, the sensors will feed it. Most deployments start on a single line or vessel and grow from there.
Humidity Sensors Data - Added Value
Proactive Risk Mitigation
Humidity sensors help prevent corrosion by proactively monitoring and controlling humidity levels.
Quality Assurance
Sensors help ensure the quality of workmanship by monitoring humidity levels.
Optimization
Enhance inspection and turnaround planning by utilizing predictive methods for optimization.
Scalability
Sensors can be easily retrofitted without removing insulation. Faster installation.
Efficiency
Reduce HSE risks and waste management costs by minimizing inspection scope and operational expenses.
Built and supported in Trondheim
Indusenz develops and manufactures the INVENIO system at its own facility in Trondheim, Norway. Keeping development and production under one roof shortens the path from field feedback to a change in the product, and keeps quality control in a single place rather than spread across suppliers.
The company is certified to ISO 9001 for quality management and ISO 27001 for information security. It also holds a Quality Assurance Notification under the ATEX Directive (2014/34/EU) and a Quality Assurance Report under the IECEx Scheme, which together cover the design and production of equipment for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
