Asset integrity software has been evolving for decades. What began as digital filing cabinets for inspection schedules grew into risk-based inspection (RBI) systems that prioritized maintenance by likelihood and consequence of failure.
Now Verdantix, in its Smart Innovators: Asset Integrity And Risk Management Software report, shows how the industry has entered a new era – one defined by real-time insights, AI, and physics-based simulation. Based on their evolution curve, this new frontier closely resembles what we are all about at Akselos.
Verdantix notes that “Asset integrity software has begun not only to assess asset risk, but to explicitly offer ways to manage and reduce it.”
Why SPM Is the Natural Evolution of APM
Asset Performance Management (APM) raised the bar by connecting asset health with operational performance. But today’s hardest questions go further: How do you extend life by a decade? How do you push throughput without compromising safety? How do you adapt to volatility without replacing critical infrastructure?
The natural next step is uniting operations with integrity – going beyond simple integrity operating window checks or excursion alerts, to show how every operating decision affects the underlying structure itself.
Akselos: The Structural Twin Approach
Verdantix highlights Akselos as a structural-twin-focused innovator: “Akselos combines high-fidelity digital twins with physics-based models to assess structural integrity in near-real time and predict future structural failures.”

Here’s what makes us different. We start by building a digital structural representation of each asset, aligned with global standards like API and ASME. Then we apply physics-based AI to show how operations directly affect integrity.
For downstream, that means revealing how pressure cycles, heat, and throughput impact steel in real time. For offshore, it means modeling external forces – like waves and wind – that gradually stress platforms. And because our tech runs at uncompromising scale and speed, this intelligence isn’t theoretical – it’s live, continuously updated with operational data.
The result: a living structural twin that lets you not just monitor assets, but actively manage, extend, and optimize them.
The Evolution Made Real
Verdantix charts the industry’s progression – from static inspection data, to risk-based approaches, to the frontier of live structural models. Akselos embodies that frontier. We transform integrity from a compliance checkbox into a driver of cash flow, resilience, and competitive advantage.
As Verdantix puts it, “dynamic analyses and AI-driven insights are fuelling the next wave of innovation.” At Akselos, that wave is already here.
The old approach is not sufficient. The new era is structural. Time to let the steel speak.
