Industrial integrity architecture blueprint

Architecture · for IS & technical teams

The vendor-neutral
integrity intelligence
layer.

Equipmate sits above your existing OT and IT and reads across them — process historians such as AspenTech IP21 or AVEVA PI, UT / wall-thickness sensors such as Emerson Permasense, LIMS, SAP and documents — to deliver a unified integrity data model and AI core. In-tenant, read-only, zero egress. Augmentation, not rip-and-replace.

Where Equipmate Sits

An intelligence layer above your stack

Equipmate reads across the OT and IT systems your refinery already runs. Nothing is ripped out and replaced — the platform layers on top, drawing signal from each source without taking control of it.

Equipmate's AI integrity intelligence layer sits above your stack and reads across it — read-only, no egress. It surfaces IOW alerting, risk ranking, remaining life & prediction, and Ask & reports. Below it: your OT (process historian such as AspenTech IP21 / AVEVA PI, corrosion & wall-thickness sensors such as Emerson Permasense, DCS, real-time sensor data) and your IT (LIMS lab analyses, SAP / CMMS, inspection reports, engineering documents).
The Platform

From source to action

A single, defensible pipeline: connectors read through the firewall with no egress, normalize everything into one integrity data model, reason over it with damage-mechanism and RBI models, and deliver prioritized action back to your people and systems.

The Equipmate platform architecture: data in (Sources, Connectors) flows through the Intelligence Core (Integrity model + AI core — unified data model, damage-mechanism / RBI, inspection genome) to action out (Intelligence, Experience). In-tenant, vendor-neutral, zero egress — Equipmate never controls your OT or IT.
The Intelligence Core

The integrity data model & AI core

One model, engineering-grade reasoning — the "inspection genome." Equipmate normalizes every source into one canonical integrity model, then scores it with an AI core built on API 571 damage mechanisms and risk-based inspection logic — producing corrosion rate, remaining life, IOW alerts, risk-ranking and prediction your engineers can trace and defend.

The Intelligence Core: inputs (corrosion probes, UT sensors, lab chemistry, inspection records, failure history, documents) feed the unified integrity data model and the AI core (the inspection genome — damage-mechanism & RBI models, API 571) which reasons and predicts, producing outputs — corrosion rate, remaining life, IOW alerts, risk-ranking and prediction. In-tenant, vendor-neutral, zero egress — Equipmate never controls your OT or IT.
Security & Data Sovereignty

Built for the way IS runs refineries

Equipmate is engineered to satisfy enterprise security and data-governance requirements first — your data stays in your tenant, and the platform never controls your OT or IT.

In-tenant, zero egress

Connectors read through your firewall and process data inside your environment. Nothing leaves your tenant — full data sovereignty.

  • Read-only access to source systems
  • No outbound copy of plant data
  • Customer retains ownership end-to-end

Access & identity

Integrates with your identity provider so access follows your existing policies, not a separate silo.

  • SSO via your identity provider
  • Role-based access control (RBAC)
  • Auditable access and activity

Encryption everywhere

Data is protected in transit and at rest using standard enterprise cryptography.

  • TLS for all data in transit
  • Encryption at rest
  • Vendor-neutral — works across your stack
Deployment Spectrum

Cloud → Hybrid → On-Prem.
Your call.

Equipmate deploys where your IT and operational policies require it — across the full spectrum, with the same in-tenant, zero-egress posture at every point. Vendor-neutral by design: it works across whatever OT and IT your refinery already runs.

Cloud

In your own cloud tenant — rapid to stand up, elastic scale, continuous updates, data sovereignty preserved.

Hybrid

Keep the most sensitive integrity data on-prem while using the cloud for scale and AI — split along your governance line.

On-Prem

Fully behind your firewall for maximum data sovereignty — integrates with your existing infrastructure, no egress.
