SMART AI CALIPER

The world's first AI-powered caliper tool. The SMART AI CALIPER automates pipeline geometry inspection using artificial intelligence — automatically detecting dents, ovality, wrinkles, bends, and stress-strain zones. Delivers a final report within 9 hours with 100% coverage, 3D model creation, and ATEX certification. Available for liquid, gas, NGL, and multiphase pipelines.

PIPECARE SMART AI CALIPER geometry inspection tool

THE WORLD'S FIRST AI-POWERED CALIPER

The PIPECARE SMART AI CALIPER is the world's first autonomous, self-learning geometry inspection tool. Built on artificial intelligence, it automatically searches inspection data for girth welds, bends, geometry anomalies — dents, wrinkles, and ovality — and zones of stress and strain, working directly with the caliper signals.

Reductions in pipeline circularity disrupt product flow and increase power consumption, so detecting geometry deviations early is essential to safe, efficient operation. The SMART AI CALIPER determines pipe-profile parameters — inner diameter, ovality, wrinkles, bends, and dents — and produces inspection reports by itself, eliminating waiting times and the possibility of human error.
Compatible with the highest-resolution IMUs in the market for precise bend and stress-strain analysis, the tool delivers a final report within 9 hours, 100% coverage, automated data-quality assessment, and 3D model creation. All SMART AI CALIPER tools are ATEX certified.
