Figure 7 Simplified status dashboard highlighting critical assets

from mCluez enabled informed decision-making, allowing for timely adjustments and a reassessment of equipment longevity. Raising the temperature effectively mitigated the heightened corrosion rate, stabilising the asset’s condition and improving overall safety. The implementation of mCluez with AIoT technology transformed corrosion management for the facility. By providing accurate, real-time data and facilitating quick responses to environmental changes, AIoT technology sig- nificantly enhanced monitoring accuracy and operational decision-making. This case study highlights the transform- ative impact of integrating advanced technologies to opti- mise asset management and ensure long-term reliability. Using AIoT Corrosion poses significant safety risks in the refining and petrochemical industry. Traditional manual ultrasonic thickness monitoring is fraught with errors and inefficien - cies, and even permanently installed sensors struggle with accuracy due to surface irregularities and material velocity limitations. The proven approach of AIoT technology has funda- mentally transformed corrosion monitoring. By combin- ing artificial intelligence with IoT sensors, AIoT enhances measurement precision, dynamically adjusts parameters, and delivers real-time analysis. AI algorithms significantly improve data quality by addressing variations in temper- ature and stress, ensuring more reliable results. Modern AIoT-powered dashboards offer a clear, real-time view

of asset health, enabling rapid focus on critical areas and informed decision-making. These innovations dramatically improve accuracy and efficiency, revolutionising corrosion management practices across industries.
