Augmented Reality (AR) applications can be used to improve tasks and mitigate errors during facilities operation maintenance. This article presents an AR system for facility management using a three-dimensional (3D) object tracking method. Through spatial mapping, the of interest, pipe trap underneath sink, is tracked mixed onto visualization. From that, maintenance steps are transformed into v...

A lot of plumbings such as gas pipes and water pipes exist in factories and so on. However, it is difficult for humans to inspect them directly because they are laid underground. Therefore, automated inspection by robots is desirable, and many efforts have been done to solve this problem. However, many of existing inspection robots have to rotate the camera to record images in piping because a ...

Risk-Informed In-Service Inspection (RI-ISI) aims at prioritizing the components for inspection within the permissible risk level thereby avoiding unnecessary inspections. The two main factors that go into the prioritization of components are failure frequency and the consequence of the failure of these components. The study has been focused on piping component as presented in this paper. Failu...
